Test Drive: 2010 Lexus LS 600h L



At $144,000, the Lexus LS600h L will “find a home in only the most exclusive driveways,” says Senior Editor Paul Williams, but this hybrid comes with almost everything: V8 power, all-wheel drive, and even a reclining ottoman seat.

Test Drive: 2010 Lexus GX 460



Replacing the GX 470, the “heavily reworked” GX 460 has “go-anywhere ability” and “tows up to 2,948 kg” says reviewer Brian Early, but its luxury features and Lexus build quality are probably bigger factors for most potential customers, he says.

2010 Lexus LS600h L; Day 1




If you can think of it, the car James is driving this week – the Lexus LS 600hL – probably has it. But this is a hybrid after all, so there is a hint of responsibility to this excessive car, even though the gasoline engine is a big V8.
