The LS 460 and LS 460 L arrived at dealerships in Japan, the U.S., and Europe in late 2006,[27] and the vehicle reached Australia, East Asia, and the Middle East in 2007.[28] The U.S. base prices for the 2007 LS 460 and LS 460 L were US$61,000 and US$71,000, respectively.[20] In 2006 and 2007, the average price paid for U.S. market LS 460 L sedans exceeded US$80,000, due largely to added options packages, placing the Lexus LS in the same average price range as its long-wheelbase Audi, BMW, and Jaguar rivals for the first time.[20]
