Seeing this latest head-of-state owner gave me the thought to compile this nice list. For instance, the LSh is used...

For the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Donald Tsang:

And how close does the U.S. get to an official LS 600h L? Remember

According to some of the owners here, and also other news reports, Lexus hybrids including the RXh, GSh, and LSh are also used by other government officials and executives. Yes, there are many more countries in the world that use all different sorts of top-echelon vehicles too, but it's nice to see the LS reach this upper prestige level. Similar poses/angles used in these pics, interesting. Not that anyone needs validation to own one of these vehicles though.

I saw a news clip showing Donald Tsang arriving in his LS600hL when we were watching TV in our hotel room in Hong Kong a couple weeks ago. Yes it looks like the same color as in the picture above.

Lexus LS600hL = The world's version of the exclusive Toyota Century.

and i hope in japan they just create a special version to REPLACE the century

Now that the LS 600h L is more expensive than the Century, perhaps if they make a Lexus replacement for the Century it can still retain a 'Century package' for the traditionalists.

I liked that too! Air Force One--Ichiban--Numero Uno--etc.

Also noticed that the Monaco royal LS license plate looks like 'MC 01' I guess "Monaco 1"

I found this other small pic of President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson posing next to his LS 600h:

You know what was crazy. When I parked my Black IS250 next to it. You say the car is crazy on pic. But when you see it in person you fall in love. Thats what happened to my dad. He said: To hell with BMW 7 and MB S class. This is what I want!!

zzzzdoc

Love the license plate. Nice to be #1.

I thought they've made special versions of the Toyoya Century for people like the Japanese royal family that cost something like $300-500K though right ? . . . I would welcome a "Lexus Century", but I think it should have a different & even more regal body style than the LS.
