Initial allocation in the U.S. is 1,850. First 100 is Neiman Marcus Launch Edition.

EDIT: 1,850 have been sold, the total number is somewhat bigger but probably not by much.

1850 for the whole 2008 model year right ?
Darn, I guess it's too late for me to order one

Maybe...

Lexus.jp was updated, the LS 600h L is their star attraction, and a new minisite too...

With new video, shot of the leather wrapped instrument panel. I'm guessing the two-tone interiors are LS hybrid exclusives?

Wow, that two-tone is very nice. Lexus needs more of this.

That 2-tone is very nice Obviusly you can't have 2-tone if you opt for black leather, I suppose it's 2-tone also for cashmere & light grey leather too, I can't recall seeing LS600h interior in anything other than this alabaster leather ^^ & the black leather though . . .

I think this is one of the cars I'd like to own but know I never will....

by the time I can afford something like that; it'll be a few years from now and something else even better from Lexus will have already been released

Good job Lexus, can't get any better than selling every available unit of a particular model
