LS600h was the one to have LED headlights, not the LS460

The article seems to have got quite a few facts wrong, however. Besides the LED headlights bit as 4TehNguyen pointed out, the article says "the all-new 375bhp 4.6L V8 under the bonnet has the highest output of any production V8 in the world". (I wish, lol.) It also says the parking system is available to Japan only, which we know is not true as Bob Carter was boasting this feature in the New York auto show.

Still, thanks for the great scans. Really enjoyed reading it.

BTW, good to know that the Land Cruiser had the first VGRS, even before BMW's Active Steering. People (me included) can't say Lexus copied this feature from BMW anymore.

OK. Yeah, I noticed a few errors like that. Also one thing is, the little chart vs. the S-class, shows features that the S-class has, but does not list that the LS has them too (such as HD for songs, HDD NAVI etc.)

I knew I read somewhere in CL car chat awhile ago mentioning audi with led lights also, but it seems like they're for the DRL only/so far
A little googling and this:

Thanks Magneto and Enigma for helping me post the pictures . How did you post the pics like that in 1 post (By the way, I just scaned new ones today, they are clearer now and I would like to replace the old ones with the new ones; I also have a small article about the LS600hl, a brochure for the GS450h and a spotting of the LF-A supper car)
