Default LS 600 question

Folks,


I have made up my mind to get a LS 600 without even driving one- huge step for a 43 yr old who has always gone german when it comes to sedans. I have a deposit on a 2008 metallic mercury with light grey interior. Any pros/cons with this color combo? I think it looks amazing, plus might be arguably cooler in this car than in black in Phoenix where I live? Plus I've heard the trunk is real small. Virtually all my driving is city, so I'm assuming the gas mileage should be better than my M5. All thoughts are welcome, thanks

congrats and welcome to clublexus.

color wise, it's just personal choice. though for the gray interior, keeping it clean could be painful sometimes

yes, the trunk is definitely small. and gas mileage? it will be tremendously better than m5 (no matter if it's e39 or e60)

first week of driving, mixed aggressive, highway, and stop-n-go has netted me about 22mpg. not bad for a car that's 5200+ lb

Thanks guys- I'm happy with the decision, I think we are going to see much higher gas prices given the middle east situation.
