You're right about that, but i still don't know for any batteries that can match two boys under the hood...

On Carspin, we had a Lexus fanboy who kept insisting the LS600h was made to "destroy" the German V12 cars. Now that the LS600h has not impressed performance wise, he "changed his mind" and claims that the car was made to offer the best luxury and fuel economy in this segment.

Lexus fanboys.

Lexus fanboys.
I bet. I've read similar retractions on AutoSpies too. It is amazing how they can't admit or take anything negative about Lexus. Its basically the same old story, that this time around the S-Class proves superior. Take your pick, S550, S600 or the godly S65 the S-Class rules the roost. Period. I love it and they can't stand it. Best luxury means more back seat gadgets and 5-7 more miles per gallon for a numbing driving, I'll pass.

I've been wanting to drop by a Lexus dealer and ask a salesman about the LS600hL vs the S600 and see what they say.
