The Queen goes green: Royal Bentley to run on bio-fuel

There is absolutely nothing green about the LS600h. Nothing.

You can make 2 cars with all the materials used on the lexus.

Lexusbeautyqueen and ChuchG37 both are posers who are pretending to be lexus/infiniti fans to make lexus/infiniti look bad.

If you think the IS is the most "beautiful car", why did you not at least get the 350?

Its amazing when entry level buyers, i.e 325i,c230,is250, a4-1.8t/2.0 owners think they have the "best car of the brand"

Chuck and LexusBeautyQueen are the same person. Chuck, we all know you're a guy quit trying to be a girl to get sympathy. You probably just drive a Nissan Altima coupe and slap on the G37 badge on it.

Whether it's for publicity or not, that's a very smart move from the royal family.

Congrats to them for taking steps in the right direction!

if the queen were serious about being green.. she'd get something like a c-class/3series/A4 diesel. This is a publicity stunt.

Well no, she needs an armoured car, a car which she can be seen in easily, a car with all kinds of security features, a car she can get out of easily... and what kind of message would it send out if the Queen had a lowly diesel Audi???

LBQ,
To a certain extent the LS600h is pointless. Not all hybrids are meant to be fuel efficient, some are marketed more as performance hybrids. Most, if not all the posters who bag on it here have never driven the car, or at the very least sat in the back and been driven in the car. Instead they pour over the magazines and websites, then proceed to spout their ignorance and hate.

For me it's hard to imagine spending an extra $15 to $20k for four tenths of a second and 2 mpg, that's why personally I think it's pointless.

Every single LS600h I have personally sold went to very wealthy people who could afford to buy whatever they want. To date I have sold 6 LS600 Hybrids, I have taken in trade: 1 LS460, 1 S600, 1 S550, 2 745Li, and a Range Rover. Most of the buyers came out of European cars. LS460 buyers see little difference in the cars, the sole LS460 I took in trade came from a state senator, someone very conscience of his image.

The people that buy these cars do not care how fast it is 0 - 60, they don't care about the drag coefficient, or the skid pad g-forces. They don't care if it "destroyed" a Porsche Cayenne on the Nurburgring. What most wanted was a car they could drive without constantly having to take it to the shop, and they wanted the top of the line of that model.

It's arguable but the LS600h is the most technologically advanced sedan on the market, and is the first premium luxury hybrid ever. It's not the quickest, fastest, longest, quietest, tallest, etc... But it does a lot of things well.

Somewhere between zero and an acceptable speed you have your Lexus, Audi, Jaguar, Volvo, Cadillac, etc.. Drivers. Beyond that speed you have your BMW and Mercedes drivers. Take notice next time you have some dickhead planted on your six in the rearview mirror, chances are there is a roundel or chicken foot on his/her hood.
