  Lexus LS - Wikipedia Mirror
The Lexus LS (sold as the Toyota Celsior in Japan) is a V8-powered, rear wheel drive luxury car that serves as the flagship of Toyota's luxury Lexus division.
According to reviews, the LS 400 has one of the most silent cabins among modern cars and is sometimes hailed as one of the most refined, well-engineered and technologically advanced vehicles in the high-end luxury car segment.
The LS 400 was initally intended to be introduced as a standalone model for Lexus, but ultimately was sold alongside the ES 250, an entry-level luxury car that was based on the Toyota Camry.

 Lexus LS 400, LS 430 and LS 460 Generations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Lexus is such a strong brand and familiar name in the 21st century that it's sometimes tough to keep in mind that it hasn't yet been around for two decades.
In a later full test of the 2001 LS 430, we found the $61,171 car jetting from zero to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds and completing the quarter-mile in 14.8 seconds at 96.1 mph while leaving the shifting of the five-speed automatic transmission up to the computers instead of the driver.
Lexus dumped the five-speed automatic in favor of a six-speed unit on the 2004 LS 430, which made the car just that much speedier.

With the redesign, the Lexus LS now includes many features from the big Mercedes, including power door closers, electrically adjustable rear seats, and, most shocking of all, nearly identical slab-sided styling.
Lexus has attempted to answer such criticisms with a new “Euro-tuned Sport Suspension.” This suspension is available at no extra charge with the 17” wheels and tires, themselves only a $100 option.
In defense of the new LS, I think I detected more feel of the road through the steering and the seat of my pants than in any past LS (ergo the aforementioned impact of tar strips), but not enough to transform this car into a sports sedan.

 2001 Lexus LS 430 - Road Test - Motor Trend
As good as the previous LS was, and as well as it continued to sell, Toyota's uptown brand has advanced its full-size sedan in about every way possible.
The interior of the Lexus neither offends nor breaks any new ground, yet thoughtful details abound: two gloveboxes, dual adjustable lumbar controls, a coin-collecting fold of leather between the front seats and the center console, suede headliner, and, of course, heated-ventilated seats up front and reclining-vibrating ones in back.
Bringing the LS 430 to a halt is a low-drama affair-123 ft from 60 mph.

Along with the active safety gizmos, the LS will also be equipped with a pre-collision system that makes use of the active cruise control and, if all else fails, the 460 comes standard with eight air bags, including matching knee airbags for both driver and passenger.
Lexus sales in 2006 are expected to be in the neighborhood of 470,000 to 480,000 units.
Finally, Lexus may not be pursuing the whole perfection thing soon, as they've applied for two new slogans: "The Passionate Pursuit of Potential" and "The Pursuit of Potential." We think it may be best to let our readers do the analysis on those.

 Lexus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lexus was requested by Steven Spielberg, an ardent fan of Lexus and himself an owner of an LX 470 and an RX 400h, to design a vehicle which would fit the requirements of year 2054 for his movie Minority Report.
Lexus is an official sponsor of the Hollywood Bowl and Sydney Opera House, along with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

In 1995, Lexus unveiled the redesigned, second generation LS 400 (UF20), featuring a longer wheelbase with similar styling and specifications as the original model.
The LS 600h and LS 600h L contain a number of features which are exclusive to the LS hybrid sedans, including one of the world's first LED headlight systems, a leather-trimmed dash, and different exterior colors.
One possible future direction for the LS and the Lexus brand is a performance-focused flagship, such as those offered by Audi with its S8 model or Mercedes' AMG with its S55 AMG model.

 Lexus’ New Luxury V8 Hybrid
The Lexus Hybrid Drive system found in the LS 600h L is the automotive industry’s most advanced gas-electric hybrid system developed to date, providing power and performance on par with modern 12-cylinder engines while still delivering best-in-V8-class fuel efficiency.
The styling on the new LS begins with a daring design language that shatters the myth that luxury sedans must be sedate and understated.
A result of the recent design direction Lexus deems L-finesse, the new LS vehicles are the crowning touch to a fully restyled car lineup, which already includes the GS, IS and ES sedans.

But I noticed that the 01 LS seat was more comfortable than the 04 LS, and I was wondering if they changed something, in which case others might have noticed the same thing, of if it was just a quality control anomaly (ie.
In any case the LS is the best car in the world, and the 04 is even better overall than the 01.
No previous LS standard of comparison here but my '04 seats are comfy, though there certainly seems to be excess slack.

Press started by pointing out that the LS has been the best-selling prestige luxury sedan for 15 of past 17 years, stating that a 5-year-old LS is more problem free than a brand-new car from "either of the leading German competitors".
The previous Lexus LS looked like the Mercedes S class that was ended in '99.
You know its funny when lexus debuts a new model anyhting that people can think of is what it looks like first, whereas when BMW or Mercedes debuts a new model people will think of how great the styling is yet they will ignore all the similarities that are shared with competitors.
