It will be interesting to see how the LS600h sells, because no vehicle from Toyota before it has been that expensive. That's obviously not cheap, mind you, it's still cheaper than the alternatives.

I'm not sure how the performance of the LS600h will stand up to the 760i and A8 W12. Note that the standard LS was already heavier than the BMW and the Audi, but perhaps because it remains with just 8 cylinders it has a slight weight advantage. Can't count on it too much though - Toyota's have always weighed as much as barges (with the exception of a few - 1988 MR2, etc)

S600: I agree with Marcus who said it won't match the S600 in terms of performance.
