i mulled this one over!!! the $20,000 MORE for the hybird didnt win me over! i ended up with a completely FULLY LOADED 2010 ls460l (i love how CL members say FULLY LOADED followed by... minus this, that and all the fully loaded options but its FULLY LOADED.... im confused! lmao ) n e how, as i was at the dealership i spoke with a hybird owner who like it but wasnt in love! he and a tech explained how the hybird doesnt do much in the city! i live in NYC it became pointless at that time! he said he got maybe 16-19 in the city and something like 40 on hwy! i get 10-14 in the city and 28-30 hwy! its not that big of a difference to warrant $20,000 MORE!!! but the blue tint on the lexus symbol looks neat tho! lol oh and the leather stitched steering wheel

^ Sorry, but whoever told you about how the hybrid system works and the mpg city and highway has no clue what they are talking about. The LS hybrid system is not an efficiency hybrid system, it is a performance hybrid system.

A hybrid LS in NYC traffic should easily outperform a non LS hybrid in MPG all day!! They probably were addicted to the ridiculous power of the hybrid and punching the throttle all the time to get bad mpgs lol

As an owner if a 600 i would highly recommend you wait it out and look for deals. Sewell Lexus and in the Dallas area usually have quite a few 600s pop up now and then. Black is the best looking in my opinion, white looks good but on a 600 it seems too much of a contrast with the tinted headlights and the blue emblems, but that's just me. As far as swirls goes on a black, yeah it is a pain in the butt to keep up with but with the right tools you can get the swirls out and keep it swirl free. Good luck on your search!
