"When we set out to develop this car we had many discussions to identify what it means for a car to attain the ultimate, and what route the lexus flagship should seek to take. The answers generated by this process represent the culmination of the lexus philosophy and the ultimate expression of the lexus brand: the ls 600h. Made possible by lexus's state-of-the-art technology and extensive experience, the ls 600h embodies the evolution of the premium car to confidently accommodate changes in the lifestyle and values of customers while meeting society's demands for safe and environment friendly product designs. That evolution has given rise to a new dimension of performance that is unmatched by any other car, a pinnacle of technological accomplishment reached as the result of the lexus pursuit of the ideal premium car. The ls 600h's hybrid system provides the customer with a previously unimaginable level of excitement and experience befitting a flagship, while the ls 600h l treats rear seat passengers to the ultimate in hospitality through painstaking attention to detail and an extended wheelbase to offer the most spacious and relaxing environment. By giving the lexus pursuit of "the essence of luxury" its highest expression, I am confident that the ls 600h, with its presence at the pinnacle of the lexus brand, will not only exceed our customers' high expectations, but will also represent a level of innovation that sets a new direction for the premium car segment. i believe this will play a key role in raising the lexus brand to new heights."
