    I've got this car and I'm surprised that he didn't mention some of the more unique things about the car, such as:
    1) It was the first production car with LED headlights
    2) There is a coolbox in the backseat that functions as a pseudo refrigerator since the A/C ports cold air into it
    3) There are infrared thermometers in the back seat to measure the temperature of the passenger's skin and adjust the air accordingly
    4) The insane sound system with 19 speakers
    5) The performance of the car is significantly boosted when you push the "PWR" button on the center console, but it doesn't affect fuel economy much
    Either way, still a great review and it was nice to see the car on here

    2) Rear seat headrests butterfly folds to hug your head.

      Although it's nice to have a more modern car with LWB with features not available on the 430.
      That said, the 07-12 460 seems to have lost some of the feel and attention to detail that made the LS 430 such a special car. The 430 had better ride quality and was quieter inside.

      I'll mention that the plastic engine cover is on the base model too. Probably for a few reasons: the engine is not much to look at, it probably helps dampen engine noise to the cabin, and Lexus has a very professional white glove concierge vehicle service dept and the probably want to encourage ppl to use it by discouraging ppl from servicing their own cars. That said, if you have the skills and prefer to DIY, the plastic covers come off rather easily by removing those little circular tabs. OH and the trunk is much more spacious in the base model.

    The 2008 Lexus LS 600hL was the first production car with full LED headlights (and you thought it was Audi), one of the first to have automated parking and so many other features. This car was ahead of its time in 2007. The W221 Mercedes-Benz S-Class was nice, but Toyota/Lexus had innovation that nobody saw coming back in 2006.

    You can also distinguish it from the headlights. The 600hL has these 3 LED projectors on each element whereas the 460 has halogen reflectors.
