I have had my Black w/Black LS600HL about 4 weeks. This was the 1st that the Lexus of Pembroke Pines, FL got in and certainly one of the 1st in the State. I am 60 and have not been in love with a car since high school until NOW. What a piece of work.... Quiet doesn't come close to describing the interior noise level. It loves to cruise at 90. At 110 it is so sure footed that you think you are going 80. At max accelleration with the CVT you are hard pressed to pull over 2500 RPM on the tach.
I love the Adaptive cruise control. Will even break the car if someone pulls in front of you or the person in front breaks. I took it across the state, found a hero going 85, set mine to 90, puilled in back of him and didn't hit the break for over an hour.
The quiet interior is especially usefull when trying to set up the park assist on a busy street to keep the honking people in back of you from driving you crazy. Likewise the auto-door locks will keep them from beating you up.
Worth every penny......

Congrats on your LS600hL. Can't wait to take mine to your neck of the woods going the other way.
Have you gotten any tinting for the windows? It appears to come with some, but I'm not sure what %. In any case, not enough for down here.

You're right about the adaptive cruise control. It' almost makes you "Ticket proof"! Between that and the brake assist, my foot's off of either of the pedals quite often.
I share your opinion of the CVT. It's awesome!

Also from my experience at test drives, this LS pulls off a black interior quite well, add the leather dash as well for a very rich look. And yes, the cruise control is a very helpful feature.

I have more than an average number of miles driving in South Florida for a "Yankee" - (BTW, Go YANKEES!!!), and I love the roads. However, I have yet to drive a solid hour without an octogenarian doing 55 in the left lane, usually with the right blinker on for at least 10 minutes. I think they are paid by the FHP to work as a rolling roadblock!

The blinker is one of the few negatives I noted on the electronic questionnaire from Lexus. The cancellation mechanism is less aggressive than any other car I've owned and all too often I have to cancel the signal myself after "less then full" turn.

Haven't paid attention on the 600, but on my LS430 the problem I noticed was that the blinker was too quiet. When it accidentally was left on, you don't notice it for miles. And, before you ask, no one will ever accuse me of going 55 in the left lane.
