like how the headlights look, they look like that have a black housing around them and it gives them a sport look to them, which is really pleasing, cant wait till this car hit the streets, and this black looks hott, just make those wheels chrome, and that car would be even more than hott. this car is gonna be to fast to be legal, i mean by the time u hit the accelerator, the people in the rear view mirror will be specs, or they probably havent even got to 10pmh yet because ur so far up the road.
im gonna go play the lottery, if i will, this is my new baby, im only 19 but hell, you gotta start somewhere, so why not from the top. i like big cars with four doors, why not settle for the best if you can get it

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.

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.

and about wheels, well, we know you can do staggered setup on awd already, so that's not really "my problem"

I just like that we're finally seeing some really nicely integrated tips (as in integrated into the rear underspoiler/bumper cover). I've always liked that look and it's been on a ton of concepts but I haven't seen it done right in production until now. It's kind of funny, I'm so
over the current LS I didn't have high hopes for this one at all but damn.
