I absolutely love this car! The styling is real nice, the interior is real nice and yeah all the rest. It’s a hybrid too! Not that its saving the world, its just not as bad as other luxury sedans… :)

Nice Lexus

just looked at the lexus site and the hybrid is 12cm longer. i guess for some people with a super keen eye like myself, we can tell the difference between the 460 and the 600. one appears to be more agile while the other looks more like a limo.

i’m shocked to hear that the ML audio system isn’t as good as it gets.

I think this car is ‘cool’ because of it’s hybrid system but i’d save some coin and opt for the ls460.

you said the 600h doesn’t like corners, but is the 460 considerably better given its about 500kg lighter? not sure if the suspension etc is the same.

if i was in the market for a luxury thing like this, i’d give the sclass and 7series a shot too. a difficult decision no doubt.

Only in terms of it offering hybrid drive, GTR. Everywhere else, it’s trounced.

You mean the fact that it has four doors…?

Given the fact this would have been designed in Japan where the Aurion is an Aus only thing…

Jamison – “In the states it sells for half of that or just slightly above it. Now.. for that figure its GREAT price.”

Don’t you mean ‘great car’? Hows the states, Bush invaded any countries today apart from Bhurma.

This been out for ages here in the states,

work has a couple of people driving it, probably vice president or something hehe.

Its immaculate at first hand.

the 240K price range for Oz is slightly over priced.. haha, say that with a straight face.

In the states it sells for half of that or just slightly above it. Now.. for that figure its GREAT price.

I dunno whats happened Maximus but our weathers gone nuts. Summer last year didn’t get above 20degC rained all summer literally. Remember the floods?
Now in late spring its about 28dgeC today, wall to wall sunshine. Love it.
Food ain’t so cool either – not pricewise. And I don’t personally think the UK murder capital London is such a groovy place to bring kids up. 16 Murders of youths by youths this year.

off topic – oops. Yeh the Lexus. You can see why Toyota are so sucessfull, Irons in fires. Must admit to Lexus being OK but why would anyone want to pay the premium for what is a leather clad Toyota.

Mmmm No comments from TP about his own preferred Manufacturer. How strange.

What a car a great luxury barge then. I don’t think people buy these for sporty driving. Bearing in mind the price difference to the commpetion its a winner. However having a bank of batteries won’t get it out of paying Londons congestion charge to many CO2 bit spewing out the exhaust for our dear Boris (New Lord Mayor of London).

I would still have an Auudi A8 over this though.

I have owned the LS600hL FULLY loaded in Canada for the last 9 months. It is everything you say it is and MORE, however, Lexus has dropped the ball on their Navigation system. It only gives “turn here” information not text to speech and it is not very accurate. The ETA information is highly inaccurate boarding on useless. Telephone reception on a Blackberry Curve within the vehicle is highly unsatisfactory due to the shielding the glass creates. It is sad to report these 2 or 3 main problems with such a fantastic vehicle, however, it is the truth. Lexus promises to look into the problem and we hope we can realize a resolution, but I am not too hopeful. They make a great car, but lack in “The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection” in these above mentioned areas.

There are other factors involved Jimbo.

The final score includes value for money, features etc. The other rankings simply relate to their designated title and although they impact the final score, it’s not proportional to the ratings achieved in the other areas.
