Probably need that many pages to explain all the silly technology and gadgets that go into luxury cars these days.

My thoughts exactly. Probably half of those pages is just setting up the self-parking system.

I can only imagine how long it would take to learn and use all the features in a LS460/600.

Even in my "old" '93 SC400, there were features that I kept discovering even after a year of ownership. And the feature content is a mere fraction to the LS's.

There may be a market for an enterprising person to produce short crib notes for a manual that long.
