A source is reported to have said: “Paul was offered a Lexus as a gift and ordered the hybrid limo because it helps to reduce emissions. “He’ll [...]

The Lexus LS600H, which costs £84,000, was a gift from Lexus to the 65-year-old former Beatle, who helped promote the hybrid vehicle. But instead of arriving by boat as expected, the car was flown to Britain on a Korean Air flight, creating a carbon footprint almost 100 times bigger than [...]

I wish I had made it up. The context: Paul McCartney saying he was 'horrified' because his Lexus LS600H (hybrid), costing £84,000, was flown 7,000 miles from Japan to Britain rather than being sent by ship. Toyota Motor Co. seems to have been so grateful for Sir Paul's promotion of the car that they flew it to him aboard a Korean Air flight instead of sending it by ship, the way the rest of the ultra-rich...

PAUL McCartney has a new car. It's a Lexus LS600H, which costs £84,000 to you, but nothing to Paul. Lexus sponsored Paul's US tour in 2005 and by way of a thank you for Paul allowing them to be the official car of the Frog Chorus, Lexus offered him a free car. Says a source in the [...]

Sir Paul McCartney better hope that the carbon emissions you take aren't equal to the emissions you make as his Lexus LS600h was flown to him by Lexus, as opposed to merely putting it on a boat. According to reports, the Lexus hybrid flagship, which was a gift to singer/vegan activist, made the 7,000-mile trip on a Korean Air flight. This resulted in a carbon footprint of 38,050 kilograms, as opposed...

Here's one that made me laugh. Paul McCartney has apparently been given a Lexus LS600h by Lexus. Good for him. You wouldn't turn that down as a freebie would you? Just one small problem. It's been flown from Japan to Britain, which kind of more than negates any benefit to the environment from Macca having it for the occasional sortie off his country estate. But it's hardly his fault - the great one...

Paul McCartney should have been celebrating: the High Court of England had just finalized his very public divorce from Heather Mills, and on top of that he had just received a Lexus LS600H as a gift from Lexus for doing some promotional work for them. The LS600H is their flagship hybrid vehicle, with a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating and an impressive 430 horsepower engine. However,...
