The list of credentials for the 2008 Lexus LS600h L are most impressive:
• The world’s first 5-liter V8 gas engine and electric motor that delivers V12 performance
• 438 hp
• 130 mph
• 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds
• 19-speaker, 450-watt sound system
• 21 mpg
• A choice of three suspension settings: Comfort, Normal and Sport
• MSPR $104,000
Yes, quite impressive for a luxury auto, a sporty ride AND a hybrid, all in one four-door vehicle.

This just seems obscene–a hybrid car that only gets 21 miles to the gallon. And that’s the stated mileage, so it’s probably worse in the real world. I hope nobody buys this thinking they’re doing the world a favor by using green technology. Lame that Toyota would resort to this. It’s like something GM would do (if they were capable of building it that is, which is iffy.)
