What don't you like about your LS460,460L,600h and 600hL

You can in other markets like Japan, but not in N.America.
BTW, I don't mind wood steering wheel at all, they are neither more slippery nor cold compared to leather (I have both).
I won't accept a LS460 without a wood steering wheel. The only -ve is wearing a ring while driving, you could scratch the wood, but I am not a ring person.

I tend to drive with my left hand draped over the top of the wheel (it's the redneck in me, I guess), and I HAVE noticed the ring coming in contact with the wheel. Hmmm.

I wouldn't accept a car without the wood steering wheeel either, just adds class IMO.

Even in N.America, the LS600hL has been available since August last year, but as a 2008 model. I know they came out in Japan earlier than that. I am not sure how they name their model year in Japan . . .

I'm pretty certain that all LS 600h Ls were 2008 models, however lots of them were purchased in 2007.
When I was in Japan last year I saw quite a few LS 600hs and some 600h Ls, very different from SoCal where mostly it's 460s and 460 Ls, very very rare to see a 600h L.
I definitely hope that the rear trunk can get bigger in the 600h, although I was surprised at Taste of Lexus to find it much better than expected (I was thinking GS 450h).

Also just for a peice of trivia, we don't have the LS 460L's here in Japan.

dave, actually you might want to double check. getting the car in october doesn't mean the year model is 2007. i also believe all 600 are 2008. they were available since august 2007 here in the US, and couple months earlier in japan. but i believe they are all 2008 model year. it should be stated on your sticker or user manual, etc...

If I get around to it I may have a look at the manual, although I haven't read one yet and I don't think I am going to start now. LOL
BTW, that is an interesting thing they have done, will this mean that those released in 2007 will hold value the same as those re;eased in 2008?
