All I can say. Only way is up for Lexus.

One thing I like about Lexus, you get 2x the quality for half the price of the competition

Don't forget it STARTS at $104K.

With options it'll probably be $110K or more, and with 7% tax you're looking at $118K.

Still, it will most likely be the most advanced car on the planet.

It's 17% tax (PST + GST + lux) up here & even a loaded LS460L with Exec.Package is C$124K pre-tax.

I expect the LS600hL to start at at least C$135K & close to C$150K loaded with exec. package . . . but I've read they've already pre-sold at least 95 units out of the 120 allocated for the year . . .

Where in Canada do you live?

I am happy that almost 80% of the LS600hL have been sold.

I just hope some people here in Montreal will have them.

Lexus should just have priced it $99k and increased the invoice price and options, narrowing the profit margin. I mean, this car is not about making profit with 1000 LS600hL cars a year, but rather creating an image for Lexus which sells 200k cars a year.

Oh well. Now I have to think of "upgrading"...
honestly IF the car comes pretty loaded already, then i think it's a pretty darn good deal

RC - rear comfort package, rear a/c (cooler+air purifier+roof), rear entertainment system

RY - rear seat upgrade package - special utility package, slide (power), mid control, wireturn rear seat adjuster

LP - luxury package 2, rear ottoman, rear door and rear sunshade, semi aniline leather, rear air, rear cooler box, 12 volt power supply

Just add these options to the $104K base price.

I guess so.

It still goes for the LS pretty much so many gadgets and what not, which probably could revival many ultra high end coach builders like Rolls Royce and Bentley.

Can't really say the same with the rest of the models.

Lexus is still cheaper than most luxury car manufactures though or thats the way I see it

The LS460 already has more technology and probably more overall gadgets than the Bentely's and Rolls Royce's at $300K+. Nevermind the 600hL.

Loaded prices of $115K+ is a screaming bargain in comparison.

Here's the price for LS600h & LS600hL in Japan:
LS600h: $9.7-12.2 million yen.($81274-102220USD)
LS600hL: $13.3-15.1 million yen.($111440-126519USD)
That's even more expensive than the Toyota Century!!!

True, but some cars like a Bentley, Rolls, or Maybach have more luxurious interiors. It isn't just about gadgets.

But Lexus definitely continues to make strides. I personally HOPE they go all out at some point and do something ABOVE the LS to be a competitor to those brands. I know they can do it and it will help them with all the models.
