Re: Edmunds Inside Line - Full Test: 2008 Lexus LS 600h L - 04-20-2007, 01:18 AM

I wouldn't either, but this LS in all forms has never lived up to the performance numbers Lexus gave. I've only seen one test out of at least a dozen in which the LS460L actually matched the factory numbers. There has been far too much hype about this car, especially from the Lexus loving people on various other sites, yet in reality the LS460L and now this 600 version don't match the hype. A S600 will maul this car. Adding 900lbs to a car and taking away the trunk space to save a few gallons of fuel only to wind up slower than the competition is just plain dumb, IMO.

A moderately optioned LS460L makes the most sense, not this hybrid nonsense.
