Is it possible to order the swb with the Euro/ sport package 19" etc?

maybe Rockville will have an answer for us?

I don't think you can in N.America, it seems the sports version is only available in LWB from what we've heard so far . . .

Could someone with connections please check with Lexus to see if it could be ordered in the USA with sports package?

in the LWB sadly. The emphasis for a lot of the options will be on the LWB only. I wouldn't mind seeing an AWD LS600h either....

I thought the 600h was AWD

yes the ls600hl IS awd

Yes, but I wish they would make the LS600hL available in RWD also . . .

oh same here. i wonder if it has to do with how the hybrid is designed? just curious

i would say it would make sense to have electric engines work the front wheels and engine back wheels:
- AWD traction
- less powertrain losses
- less weight
- better mpg

So I am pretty sure it will be tied into hybrid system...

is that how the ls600hl is setup though, meaning the hybrid powering the front and the gasoline engine powering the rear? the ls600hl has lsd for front and rear power distribution i believe, meaning the front and back are somehow connected?

Has it been "definitely confirmed" that the LWB will have air suspension as standard? (I hope so. That gives you automatic load leveling which I like.)

So. Fla.

As Lexus had often said, the 600hL will have everything the LS460L has PLUS a few exclusive items to the 600 version such as leather-stitched dash, LED low beams, AWD, etc... etc... So, YES the 600hL will have air suspension as a standard feature.

he asked about lwb though, not 600hl. i don't thnk all ls460l will have air suspension, at least i doubt it

with air suspension and 19" rims. The standard wheelbase will not. I was talking about having both a standard wheelbase 600h and a 600hL would be nice too. The AWD system on the 600hL is a mechanical one. The 5.0 V8 has the CVT and 2 Electric Motors behind it like the GS450h but then there is a power split device to send power forward to the front axles and conventionally to the rear. It will get the power immediately to the pavement and say so long farewell to the Bavarians and Berliners....
