and because of the luxury equipment. The Bentley Arnage has 13 coats of paint and 10 cow hides' worth of leather inside. It probably has a small forest's worth of wood too. (ok, the last one is exaggerated but the first two are true).

Just add these options to the $104K base price.
Wow...with all the rear seat goodies and the expensive PCS and auto-park optional, it'll easily be over $120k loaded.

The top model of LS460L in Japan is about $127000USD.

but its luxury equipment is half of LS's... You buy Bentley for status really, not for technology.

LS600h at 104k is not bad... not cheap either, but it is AWD so it should be pretty good in all conditions, and I cant wait for test drives...

But luxury isn't only about technology. In fact one of the problems Lexus has it their technology and interiors are too sterile and cold looking. The LS interior certainly isn't 'bad' or anything at its price point, but nowhere near as warm and inviting as a Bentley and nowhere near the level of old world craftsmanship (wood and leather in particular).

for me it is both... I would never buy any of ultra luxury brands just because for me, personally, both targets have to be met... plus, none of the brands have build quality or general quality of MB, let alone Lexus... Another reason I would always rather buy Porsche than Ferrari...

I know, I was originally from there when I was a kid . I still go back for brief visits every 2 to 3 years. I'm just saying there are places other than HK where you can't buy half a parking space for the price of a LS600hL

Crazy!! First 100K Lexus. Pretty cool. I know many are already sold and Lexus resale value is great, but I'm wondering how resale values will be 1-5 years from now considering this is the first 100K Lexus. Definitely different territory for the brand and hopefully people can justify paying 100K for a Lex.
