Lexus Announces Pricing for All-New LS 600h L Luxury Hybrid Sedan
Lexus Announces Pricing for All-New LS 600h L Luxury Hybrid Sedan
TORRANCE, Calif., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexus today announced the
manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the all-new 2008 LS 600h L
luxury hybrid sedan. The LS 600h L will be the ultimate Lexus statement,
providing the highest level of luxury, technology, performance, safety and
efficiency.
With an extensive list of standard luxury equipment and technological
features, including the world's first full hybrid V8 powertrain, the LS
600h L will carry a base MSRP of $104,000 when it reaches Lexus dealers in
June.
The full-time all-wheel-drive LS 600h L will be the world's first
vehicle powered by a full hybrid V8 powertrain and will be mated to a newly
developed dual-stage electronically controlled, continuously variable
transmission. It will deliver power and performance on par with modern
12-cylinder engines, producing more than 430 horsepower while still
delivering fuel efficiency equal to or better than the combined
fuel-economy ratings of V6 all-wheel-drive mid-sized luxury sedans. The LS
600h L will also carry a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating,
emitting nearly 70 percent fewer emissions than the "cleanest" of its
competitors.

There you have it, official MSRP of over 100K. Lexus is getting some of it's customers used to 100K+ pricing in preparation for a certain upcoming model 
.
Those rims look very nice in the new pics.

Wow...at that price point I hope it has most features standard. Anyone wants to make a guess at what features will remain optional? Executive seating package is the obvious one I suppose. But what else could be optional in this car starting at $104k?
Here's the link to the source, BTW:

A dealer had posted in the LS460/600hL forum that they've unbundled the RSES from the Exec. Package, so the RSES & the 4-seat configuration with ottoman are now available seperately for the 600hL . . . & I tend to think the base LS600hL at $104K is pretty loaded already except for the RSES & the 4-seat configuration, & possibly a couple of minor things . . .

$104k. That's expected. It's good they didn't cross the $110k mark.
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"...
