Default LS460/LS600HL Update?

When do you think these two models will be updated?

Anything significant? And do we know how many LS600 HL's have been produced in the US thus far?

Thanks.

There have been some significant but incremental updates so far, but a full refresh has not yet been announced.

The LS 460/460 L added AWD versions for 2009.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=377374

The biggest change for existing 2009 models is a 20% and 30% increase in trunk space for the LS 460 L with rear-seat upgrade (460 also internationally), and the LS 600h/600h L, respectively.

Also, passenger side seat memory has been added to all models.

As for sales numbers, I'm not sure...2007 sales stats:

Lexus sells 6,093 LS 600h Hybrids in 5 months

Originally, Lexus expected to sell a total of 7,000 Lexus LS 600h hybrids in 2007 with Japan accounting for 3,600 units, Europe accounting for 2,160 units and the US accounting for 1,200 to 2,000 units in the US. According to the latest results from Toyota, Lexus has already moved 6,093 units worldwide up until October. The car just went on sale in July.

Thank you for the information!

I'm specifically looking at acquiring an LS600 black ext with black int or white int....if it's available. I've been driving MB's for a few years (sedans) although I still retain my old LX470 for the winter. With the economic downturn - I've refocused my attention towards other vehicles with a more "stable" and reliable system....And Japanese products have never let me down in the past.

LX570 with a hybrid motor would my first choice followed closely by a LS600...I've also looked into getting my father a new sedan for 2010...His birthday is in March and a BIG present is due....08/09' will be priced attactively by then?'

Thanks.
