Default LS600HL shown on Top Gear!

So the episode yesterday can now be found on youtube. this is the second lexus vehicle to be on their show (the first was the SC430) which they hated. THey dont actually talk about the hybrid or anything about it, but they attempt the parking guidance system. its pretty funny, and they dont actually say its bad. they applaud the "car that nearly did it".

Thanks for the link! Just watched it, oh man...The "Hamster" didn't read the instructions first, LOL...putting the green square in the wrong spot and the results were quite off, lol.

At least they did finally kinda get it. I don't necessarily think this is an 'old people' feature though.

I think Lexus would've loved them to do a full test or something more like what Fifth Gear did, but like other European shows they only gave the LS 600h L a brief view.

wow seems to me like they were straight up mocking the car. Did not input the proper controls and made fun of it when it did not succeed...

Houston we've got Lexus haters.
