2008 Lexus LS 600h L Road Test

**Tideland Prius** · 11-08-2007, 11:50 PM

Plenty of Technology "Firsts"
The new Lexus flagship fuses the ultimate in automotive decadence with the ultimate in hybrid technology.

First the decadence
My Lexus LS 600h L tester was the Executive version, meaning its rear seating area was nothing short of the most opulent CEO office this side of Wall Street. The Executive seating package is replete with a right rear seat that morphs into a reclining divan fitted with an ottoman to provide complete body support and exquisite comfort.

This remarkable seat, which reclines 28-45 degrees, was designed in partnership with a Japanese medical institute. It's both heated and cooled but that's not all. A multi-function shiatsu massage feature is built into it, making this perch as comfortable as it is therapeutic. From this womb of wellness the fortunate can remotely drop a 9-inch entertainment screen from the roof and watch DVDs or follow progress on the vehicle's navigation system. High quality, wireless headphones provide private audio playback.

Funny! It consumes as much fuel as the GM Yukon/Chevy Tahoe, which we are dissing endlessly.

If I won the lottery, and didn't care about global warming, I'd get one. Otherwise, very bad form, Toyota!

for heavy footed driving in a V8.. that's rather impressive. especially if you are moving it from 0 to 60 in around 5 seconds.
