"LS 600 Century" is kind of brilliant for Japan, but in the US if you call any car a "Century" GM's lawyers will have you on speed dial.

Oh yeah, forgot about the Buick, but is it still trademarked?

I got some interesting info from the Vienna Motor Symposium 2017.

Here in Europe Mercedes will offer the new 3.0 I6 engine with 2 power levels.
S400 - 361hp/367ps - 369lb-ft/500Nm
S500 - 428hp/435ps - 384 lb-ft/520Nm + 22ps - 184lb-ft/250Nm E-Boost, thanks to the new mild hybrid system with the ISG (Integrated Starter Generator) which reduce the turbo lag.

So the S500 will be the direct competitor to the LS500 here, and not the S560. Lexus is a real game changer now and they can steal many buyers from the german trio this time, especially from bmw and audi :cool: V6 with V8 power, RWD/AWD options and the most original design.
Interesting bit about Vienna Motor Symposium 2017 is Toyota engineers presenting something about clean diesel technology :-).

For those who dont know, this is premium engine-related event where many car manufacturers reveal new technologies or explain them better... Toyota has shown their estec engines, diesels, and more in past few years.

During KREW and myself's time with Lexus in Ibiza for their "Make Your Mark" Experience we happily had some time to inspect a LC 500h AWD which was brought to the villa at the last minute. The more I see it in person, the more it grows on you.

The interior is honestly one of the best at any price. The best interior of any Lexus, ever.

The black is the most fitting colour on the LS IMO
