Mercedes S550 or Lexus LS600hL? Reliability is important.?

I am working with my aunt in looking for a new car and she has decided that one of the more ostentacious choices such as the Maybach or Rolls are too in-your-face. Now, she is looking mainly at the S550 4matic and LS600hl. She will be driving. She has a long commute and... Read More

  • The 600hL would get my money. Although the technology is new, Lexus quality trumps everything else. On top of that, Lexus customer satisfaction is the highest. The 600hL comes available with a Pre Collision System that serves as a radar adjustable cruise control system that makes long distance highway driving simple... Read More
  • overall the S class and LS are very competitive. I am personally a big fan of Lexus. Lexus last longer, more reliable, and it is much better on maintenance. But keep in mind that the S class is a very very unique car and I would prefer that only particular car (S550) over the LS. now in your aunts case, it would not... Read More
  • If your aunt is looking for something less ostentatious she should go for the benz. Frankly the S550 4matics are a dime a dozen while it's much more difficult to get a LS 600h. If she want's to save a few bucks (even rich people do) she should go for an S550 4MATIC (the 2008 has dealer cash on it as well). But let's... Read More

Other Choices:

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.
