    it sounds like the engine of this lexus is connected through a CVT, i dont think the ls460 comes with a CVT, i think its the ls600h

    anyone think this is the hybrid lexus?

    Yeah.. it looks like the 400h (judging by the CVT-like sound under acceleration and the power gauge on the left pod of the instrument panel is another giveaway.

    Also, the fact that he presses the MFD like any other hybrid owner after acceleration :p.

    Also.. is that the Avensis Verso that I see? Or is it the Corolla Verso? Either way, it's in Europe for sure (UK maybe?? b/c of RHD)

    uh uh. I can almost assure you it's an RX400h. Take a look at the very beginning when he (momentarily) moves the camera to the centre console. The vertical vents with metal trim is an RX feature.

    oh thanks i just realized, i got confused because the height from which the video was taken looked low which led me to believe it was a 4 door sedan

    It positively IS a 400h. Our other car. I used the pause, checked it close, and that's our other baby.
