This week’s alert: luxury hybrids are aon the market. Hybrid Escalades are going for ten grand under sticker. Lexus dealers have been instructed to sell their remaining stock of 2009 Lexus 600h Ls for $10k off sticker. And, we might add, the rest. After all, the second you drive that $106k-and-up top-of-the-line hybrid off the lot, you’ll lose a LOT more than $10k. Still, the discount could take some of the heat out of torching 10 Grovers—and drive down the the price of pre-loved examples. A 30k LS 600h L is yours for around $75k. And the rest, now. At any price, the 600h L is one of the world’s best luxury cars— that’s destined to remain the deep-pocketed eccentric’s choice. Or, as was the case with the VW Phaeton, not.
LS600h L: Great idea, meh execution. As stupid as it sounds, I blame the trunk. People that can afford such an expensive car are more than likely going to need to haul the golf clubs, the shopping trips, the suitcase runs to and from the airport and this Lexus can’t do it that well since the trunk shrinks, what, 50% due to the batteries and some kind of rear seat fridge?
