Best allrounder car on the road
Source: Cars.com

...AWD for Minnesota and huge sunroof. the understated elegant and classy design inside and out is both tasteful and beautiful. The LED headlights are the most impressive on the road currently. I've owned a 94 Supra Turbo, C6 Corvette convertible and yet feel very satisfied with the power and thrust of this car in comparison. It just doesn't feel like much of a tradeoff for all the other exceptional features in the LS 600hL. Of course it not the canyon racer type of handling like my supercharged Miata was. Maybe I'm getting old but you actually enjoy the drive in a totally different way. Don't...

A glimpse of the driving future

..."As a Lexus/Toyota buyer I recently traded this vehicle in from a client for another one with the Executive Seating option.
I can tell you after driving this for a couple of weeks, if I had to drive one car for the rest of my life - this would be it!
It represents everything I love- comfort, high tech, safety, power, AWD, great style and best of all - it's a HYBRID.
If Lexus can figure out how to make this vehicle for a little less money - it might be my permanent road car."...

A modern masterpiece

..."I just bought a LS hybrid. It is fantastic! Not only does it have substantial power, but it has terrific fuel economy.
I average 24 miles per gallon combined, and I also drive 20,000 miles per year, so I expect the millage to get better once the engine breaks in...

Why should I also consider these?

All three of the German rivals to the 2008 Lexus LS 600h L are about the same size, but they have large-displacement 12-cylinder engines and rear-wheel drive.

The LS 600h L's powertrain has all-wheel drive, which makes it a bit better in some weather conditions, and it gets substantially better fuel economy than any of those rivals.

The worst of these is the Mercedes-Benz S600, which has a downright sinful fuel economy rating of 11 mpg in the city.

The LS 600h L's city rating is nearly double that, at 20 mpg.

Each of these sedans has similarly expansive backseat space and offers an extensive list of over-the-top luxury features that cater to the front and the backseat occupants.

Each also offers specific high-tech features that make them standouts in certain respects.

Both the S-Class and the 7-Series offer optional night-vision systems that help illuminate the road, especially to spot animals up ahead.

The A8 L 6.0 offers a solar-powered ventilated sunroof, a personal refrigerator, and an acclaimed Bang and Olufsen sound system that's perhaps the best in this class.

In prestige, the LS 600h L lags behind the German rivals, with a big caveat: In celebrity circles, the LS 600h is instantly recognized, and its green reputation is the best.
