I'm at work, so I can't fully watch this webpage, but I expect all updates on all vehicles 
I am going to love this thread guys, thanks!
Can't wait for the LS600h AWD? If they price it around 70k, it will sell. I gotta convince my family to put a deposit down haha.

- it ONLY has awd
- it has continously variable tranny, instead of 8 speed
- only comes in lwb
- 5L v8 + hybrid engine
- it has more than 430hp
- it's rated slev
all of them are good news, except the awd i guess....

CVT is must for real hybrids, much better than any auto. Plus it has two gear ratios for god sakes, how cool is that? Lower for all out acceleration and higher for high speed cruising.

I think it makes sense to have it AWD. The battery packs are heavy and you wouldn't want everything driven to the rear wheels and have those heavy battery packs sitting only on the rear wheels. So to even some of the weight they made it AWD and put some battery packs up front.
