2008 Lexus LS 600h L Expert Reviews from Around the Web

Found 7 expert reviews, showing 1-5:

  1. 1
  2. 2

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.

    You're kidding, right?

    How about comparing this car to the Audi A8L TDI? It performs better in every measure against the Lexus, including 10 mpg better fuel economy! I suppose this is what we've come to expect from a stable of writers who are blindly in love with all things Toyota and Lexus.
    From a popular European magazine that actually performed this comparison:
    "And our average of less than 20mpg suggests there are few reasons to opt for the hybrid over the standard LS460, which performs as well and is only slightly less economical. This poor result, combined with the fact the Lexus costs so much, means the Audi A8 earns an easy victory here. Not only is it £20,000 cheaper, it’s also better designed from superior materials, just as fast and around 10mpg more efficient."
    I guess if you have more dollars than sense, the Lexus would be a great car for you. Line up the Hollywood elite - we can point and laugh at them as they throw away their money to "appear" green.
