Anyhow, I understand what you are getting at. The LS600h will never match the S600 (which is understandable) but what's even worse is that it appears to be having trouble breaking the 6 second barrier.
The Lexus marketing department should stop advertisting the LS600h as a bloody performance car - because it's not. Toyota's marketing department has always pissed me off, constantly contradicting themselves and whatnot. It's not a new issue either, they've been playing these "games" for 25+ years. |
It applies, really. Most if not all the V8s in this segment can get to 60 mph in nearly the same time, while most of the V12s are faster, especially the S600. In the past maybe the LS600hL would have matched a V12, but not now.
