Motor Trend lists the car as getting 20 miles per gallon in the city and 22 in highway conditions.
What the crap...

Yes, you are right. So to clarify what I meant, if I had money in the $100,000 range, I would prefer to get a sweet electric sports car than a luxury car that only gets around 21 mpg. Personal Preference.

I'd rather have three or four different cars over one of these. For the same cost, I could have a TCH, FEH, NAH, and Prius to boot. Hmm, what car will I drive today?

Then again, it's a dilemma I'll never need to face.

Someone who can afford one of these, like me, probably has a Bentley, Rolls Royce and another high end luxury automobile(s) in their stable.

True, true...and a seven car garage attached to the lakeside manor for all those cars, since the stable is actually home to the thoroughbreds. I, myself, consider luxury something like pizza that isn't served from a box.

It's an interesting car technologically, but its mileage is even worse than the regular 460's. The 460 L is EPA rated 18/27, and I think the article said the 600h is (or will be) 19/22, or maybe 20/22. I definitely remember the low 22 highway figure.

I wonder how many years it will take to recoup the cost of that Hybrid??

How many years does it take to recoup the cost of the regular LS 460? Well that makes no sense, you're spending $80k, not making it. The hybrid isn't about saving money since the idea is absurd for expensive cars; it's about being very clean and making a 4.6L V-8 behavior more like a 6.0L V-12.
