I think it is a valid question to ask if it is worth $100k for a hybrid LS over $70k for an LS460 (for me it is not worth it), but when you consider Lexus is going to make a small number of the hybrid model, and most people will buy them for the hybrid image (and HOV capability), comparing the two probably is a moot point. There are probably enough celebrities that think "buying hybrid=saving puppy dogs" to buy out the whole production run anyway.

^ in and of itself, abolutely, it's a valid question.

my point is what's weight gotta do with it?

stacky: hey plyrs, you gotta a new car?
plyrs: ya man....new full-jam 750.
stacky: you shoulda passed on the corinthian leather....adds 300 pounds.
plyrs: <silence>

Again, I dont think you guys understand the point of this car. EVERYTHING in that review is MEANINGLESS to the people that would and WILL buy this car. No one cares about 0-60 times, and 1/4 mile times. They care about how tired (or not) they are after a 15 hour drive, how comfortable they are, how the stereo is, how the seats/materials are, etc. That is the point of the car, and it is superior to the competition.
But they do care about trunk space, which this car lacks. I don't know, if I were in the market I'd probably opt for the Benz or Audi.

The LS looks way too much like a stretched out Camry.

I heard the HOV benefit may go away in California now that so many are buying hybrids, but still not bussing more than themselves around.
