Hi,

Felt totally love with new LS, and now only problem is will I take LS460 or LS600h.

Here in North-Europe winters are very snowy and AWD would be very good, but does AWD model look different than LS460? Have seen few BMW 5-series AWD and those look quite horrible to my eyes.

While driving, does elbow reach to center console box, like example in IS? Distance between steering wheel and console box looks quite big in pictures, so have anyone who has drived new LS better knowledge about this?

Hi, welcome to CL!

Based on what we have seen so far, the LS 600h looks pretty similar to the LS 460, but with slightly different badging, wheels, and LED headlamps.

Here is a video of the LS 600h introduced at the Paris Motor Show: it shows the interior toward the end.

If you are concerned about snow and such and can afford the awd Lexus, I would wait.

I waited 5 months for mine and I am happy I waited.

I could have bought the LS430 for less then 54k but the salesman said to wait and I did. I am not sorry.

Speaking of AWD, Lexus reps have dropped hints that an AWD LS 460 is in the works, but for 2008 at the earliest.
