No, they get the same 5.5 L as we do here, but they still call it S500 there instead of S550.

boy i want one now after seeing how well the voice commands work!
yea i watched that, too much technology for my tastes, driver can become really dependant on some of those features, just not for me. That episode was hilarious when they took the older S class with a 2.8 V6 and turned it into a cottage 0-60 in 35 seconds

Imagine how hard it would be to keep that leather clean.

yeah but that interior is beautiful though, hope the LS will have something similar to this, the GS i believe is the one that needs an interior like this combo, but the LS i to hope have an interior color combo something like this

^^ LOL.

Yea I saw that Mocha Edition before(matter of fact I might have posted a pic of it earlier in this thread. ). Im loving this white and black leather though. It would more than likely get dirty really quick, but it looks so freakin nice. I always wanted to see white leather in a car.


We have all said this before but I would really like to see Lexus offer more leather color choices instead of the same 3 regular color choices that you can find on any mainstream car(Black, Grey, Beige). I must admit that they are improving with the exterior colors but it is now time to work on interior choices.

Lexus must step up with more color/trim combos on the LS at least if it wants to seriously compete.

People aren't as interested in paying all that money to be told "if you're flexible we might be able to find a car for you" (as I've been told a few times at Lexus dealers!)
