WHEN you consider the premium upper-large sedan section, the primary fashions that come to thoughts will seemingly be European choices just like the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Collection and Audi A8, and even the super-luxury barges just like the Bentley Flying Spur or Rolls-Royce Ghost.

With some mechanical and security package tweaks, we took each the LS500 and LS500h out on the highway to see whether or not it could sustain with its European counterparts.
