Why should I also consider these? X

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.
