I don't care for performance as long as V12s in supersaloons are in question - what I go for is in refinement and low noise levels. I think both would be satisfied very well with the hybrid V12 in the Lexus - and not the least because it doesn't have any turbos to contend with. I remember my test drive of the Flying Spur, when I was at the back seat the turbos spooling are really loud and is quite irritating.

I do believe the V12 Lexus would be a hit, and it has the credentials to go with it. I'd certainly consider one - have you seen gas prices lately? Who says people who buy these cars don't bother... Rich people can be greenies too, you know. And not all the rich are spendthrifts - in fact, the richest people are the ones who save the most.
