Yeah, you'd better put on your flame suit, or knowledge suit for that matter, because you don't know crap. 
In that case, "German engineering" is also better than American too, huh? You don't know crap from food, andyou'd eat whatever is shoved into your mouth. 
LS600 hybrid is awesome! Power and accelerations of a V12 and gas mileage of a 4-cylinder.

Great looking techno car.
I'd say one of the best certified used car purchases for a daily driver is an LS430.

I have done a fair amount of research on this car. I currently have an LS400 and it has grown on me. The LS600 also has a long chassis version, reclining rear seats, etc. The power output from the standard model is just under 400/400, and the highest V8 with dual electric engines produces just over 400/400, of course mated to an 8spd automatic. Many were hoping for 500/500, but it was not realistic or needed. The 290/310 [before redoing the standards] powered ls400 of 98-2000 was a fairly quick car, quite capable of running low 14's stock. The heavier ls430, which I still think is a great looking car, still performs well within anyone's realistic expectations for such a vehicle. I'll probably look to pick up a new LS when they are 3-4 years old.
