with all due respect though as a car overall i don't see the ls600hl competing with the s600. with the 760il i think the 600hl is comparable overall, and probably on the interiors and gadgets the 600hl goes well with the s600. but the s600 performance just simply blows away the 600hl. it's not just v12, it's twin turbo
The new redesigned 750Li will perform better than the LS600hL even in straight line performnce though, with 400hp and 450 lb.ft torque, & probably a little lighter too ...

What's consider respectable performance for that class of supercar for 2009 may not be the case a couple years later ...

If it's true that they are going to produce the LF-A, I hope they keep in mind that the longer they wait, the more they have to up it's performance/driving dynamics even more so that it won't look obsolete as soon as it is launched, if they are to stick with the $200K+ price range.

I would sell the celsior if they bought it out next year.
The will be from $150K to $200K, I have a pretty reliable source that I have spoken to.

Late 2009 as a 2010 model at the latest, if not, save the embarrassment and don't bother. That, or try to pawn it of at higher volume at an $80k price tag when the price of CF and gas go down.

Maybe 4th model is GS-F.
