Default Dad got a LS600

And so did another office mate who parks just one floor above

Beautiful cars really
The ride is a lot smoother than I expected

From a LS430 UL owner who was disappointed with the LS460, the LS600 wins in every category

Driving in EV mode is wicked fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMO this car has easily knocked out the Merc and Bimmer
The next revision will most likely target Bentley, knock them up, and then perhaps aim for Rolls Royce I bet

Black on black I think (definitely black exterior IIRC), he posted a LS600hL pic briefly in his new IS-F thread & I pointed it out (why no pics in the LS forum), & look what he put in his sig.

Please elaborate. I thought the only difference between the LS460 and LS600 was the powerplant, assuming comparing to the 460L loaded.

the 600 has cvt, so it's smoother. the 600 is also much quieter coz' of the electric engine

Interior of the LS600hL is almost all leather.

That's great.
Now be a good son and talk dad into getting some 22's for that new ride!
Remember to take him to the modded LS section of clublexus.

Black/black

No way on the 22's
The car looks very understated and I like it


The IS-F on the otherhand

Would you believe 21's?

A stock LS is just another car. Aftermarket wheels can be understated depending on the choice.
