    In the high-stakes poker game of luxury sedans, Lexus always ups the ante when it comes time to redo its flagships LS sedan.

    It started back in 1989 when Lexus introduced two models to the world, as part of Toyota's assault on the luxury market. It started off as an LS 400 (with the number roughly designating engine size), and progressed through the LS 430 to the latest generation of LS 460. The latest redesign brought with it a longer wheelbase model for the first time.

    And now comes the world's first hybrid V8 model, in the LS 600h L. In presentation and price, it is well worthy of the flagship mantle for the Lexus line.

    For all the folks having trouble w/ the Prius on snow, I wonder when this feature will be included on OUR cars,

    " . . . . Further, the driver can tailor the hybrid system to best meet conditions, by flipping a rocker-switch between "Power" (for better response and quicker acceleration), "Hybrid" (normal driving) and "Snow" (for enhanced control on slippery surfaces) . . ."

    Soon?

    Note that the LSh' AWD system is mechanical and not electric like the HiHy/RXh/Estima
