Default Executive pkg. LS460l

With the limited seating and additional cost do you all think there is a big market for this car.

No, & I think neither does Lexus, that's why they make it a special-order-only configuration.

I doubt that people will want to pay for such an extravagant addition to the car. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who want it, but ultimately will decide not to get it.

Too bad it's only for one person. Both back seats should be able to recline with the leg rest with shiatsu massage...

I think the package works better in Japan where I'd guess more executives are driven around in horrendous Tokyo traffic and, from what I can see, also because the ottoman looks pretty useless to anyone over 5'8".

I would not draw that conclusion until I've tried sitting in that reclining seat, I'm just under 5'11" though, so I hope I can be very comfortable fully stretched .

The average height of American male is still just under 5'10", so I think the average in Japan/Asia is shorter still. But for sure, this car is no Maybach62 & still isn't long enough to allow basketball players to lay down fully stretched in the executive seat, & for the same reason, they only make one executive seat behind the front passenger so they can fully recline that seat as much as possible without affecting the driving postion of the driver.

you need a limo to do that. no lwb setup out there can allow the driver rear seat footrest to incline like that man

and i agree with others, the exec setup would not be common for sure
