Don't they want more people attracted to the LS460 in the cold weather states with AWD as an option ? That's why I'm wondering . . .
True. They should have offered a LS460AWD. I would trade in for it even in NE.
LS460, I don't know...

Is it possible that they may want to "refine" the AWD system on the high horsepower,
high torque LS600h and then move it to the LS460? AWD is extra weight, but with
430+ HP it may not be significant. AWD offers superior traction to RWD anyway
and unless you're taking it to the track which most customers for a 100K car will
NOT be doing, AWD or RWD may be a moot point.

I wonder about those amazing, gorgeous headlights...I hope they're not too easily removed/stolen, and damaged/attacked.

YO!!!! This car is sick as hell!!! I'm lovin the black color and those rims. Thats a very nice touch. And it looks like it will have LED headlights. How crazy is that.


On the japanese website they have it as LS600h and LS600hL. I guess they are getting both models.

thief and sensors will take a DNA sample as the 600h contacts the authorities and the owner to alert them of the offense. A high voltage capacitor will render the thief temporarily unable to move....

I read on another forum, that the car will have 17mpg (not sure if this is average or in the city). The GS4s, and LS4s have all gotten about 17-18 in the city.
