Spy Picture: Lexus LS Hybrid, but why?
This picture was caught on May 27, 2007; and looks like a normal LS Hybrid. So what are they testing, and why are they hidding all the logos???

LS1000h? Or the mysterious LS650h houstoncuties rants about?
Or perhaps a diesel...?

You mean another ultra expensive lexus car with even a bigger engine but with the same or less driving capabilities then the cheaper LS? Or maybe just a faster CPU for the parallel parking, the one they have now is rather slow. Anyone can do it faster. If not, you do not belong on the streets.

houston this is not a bentley maybach competition but it is a mercedes competition. but with a price of 150k i would rather buy a mercedes, bmw, or audi. im sorry lexus but anything that much i like the europe cars..

only reason people buy lexus is for the gentle price market and the cool tech they give you.

It's a "ghost car" of the Ls600 hybrid. the point of this advertising method is to make the people curious..

It's a very effective and cheap advertising method.

They probably just forgot they already released the LS600 and they are still testing it, to make sure the driver can stop the car using the regular foot brake. Eventually.

What haters would they be?
Nobody here has made a "hater" (stupid word) comment.

"Lexus purposely jacked up the price on their emblems once they realize hardcore dudes like me have been buying up a ton of them cuz we'd rather spend more money on emblem/stickers than wasting it on numb handling vehicles like BMW/AUDIs."

Right, and not only does Lexus have better-handling cars than Audi and BMW, but your Honda Accord does, too, I take it?

Touche S4. Brilliant. The last thing I expect from Lexus is a car that's fun to drive.

Most likely an aftermarket Lexus.

they didn't want anyone to see those hideous new bright blue hybrid badges? why are they blue?

der...cause blue is the color of pure water, and the sky. So it conveys a sense of "green" living. Using the color green would just be too cliche

This appears to be the most plausible explanation to the actual topic of discussion.

houstoncutie2000: Lexus has only one reclining rear seat with ottoman whereas the Maybach 62 has two such seats. Also, the Lexus front passenger seat does not have the exact same adjustments as the driver's seat whereas both front seats in all current S-Class models are identical and have all the proper adjustments. Bntley's workmanship is superior to that of Lexus. The only thing I don't like about the Maybach is that its engine still only has 3 valves per cylinde instead of 4.

jagexpert,

Heritage and prestige don't mean jack sh#$ when your auto company about to become extinct. Noday you be really lucky to see a Jaguar on the street. Where I live in OC I see alots of BMW, Lexus, Audi, MB, Acura, and Infiniti.

Jaguar sales decline over 40% in the of May 2007, it was posted on this website today. I really like the Jaguar C-XF concept, like see if the new Jaguar sportcar save Jaguar.

LS600hL has only one reclining seat on co-drives side. When reclining, it moves the front seat forward. It seems that HATERS want to say indirectly that LS hybrid is a really small car ONLY 202.8 inches length...

Some boyz should face reality someday. LS hybrids have unmatched technology, not just "good".
