... to own a LS600hl

That is too funny. That's the one that came into the dealership instead of mine.

Too, too funny.

 

I went over there and sat in it. The LS600hL really is quite nice. Very nice interior.

One negative which I knew of, but it didn't strike home until I saw it in person -- OMG that trunk is small. It makes my LS430 trunk look cavernous. Don't know why they have that emergency trunk release in there. You couldn't put a human in there if you tried.

Turned on the headlights. It was indoors, so it proved nothing, but the LED headlights were pretty cool.

 

I wonder where this came from? A video?

 

And they still have no idea when they'll get a Black Opal ??

 

That tells you which parts of the vehicle are radioactive!

I would guess its from the DVD. Maybe Helmar can answer that for us.

 

well i am sure a kid can fit in

probably. the rear dvd system probably comes with a demo dvd

love the separate rear entertainment system, love the card key, love the leather dash, love the headlights

and wow, seems like it has a different manual cover as well?

 

Yeah, the manual cover is saddle leather. Sure wish they had made seats available in that color (Sigh).

Funny story, a Gallardo has a piece of felt covered cardboard that bisects the small trunk space to make it even smaller. In fact it's so small that a kid can't fit in. And that's why it's there, so that they didn't have to include an inside emergency trunk release. Needless to say, many owners remove the cardboard to make the tissue box holder sized trunk a little bigger.

 

At this rate, maybe I'll have one before they do.

 

Look Northeast. Is Helmar glowing?

 

Pushing the "Info" button and then the "Trip information" option and then the "Energy" option brings up this animated "Energy" screen, showing the current flow of energy, vis-a-vis the engine, batteries, electric motors, and wheels.

My display is somewhat different though. Perhaps the 7.1 upgrade?

In any case, although interesting, it's pretty much eye candy, IMO.

i know what screen you talking about, that's from the side of the car and it's like a drawing right? i think they have that screen on all the hybrid cars (rx and gs). i'd imagine the same screen for the ls, unless lexus engineers have too much time

lol, that's one very straight forward way to achieve safety
