    This car scared the competition.And as if the LS400 didn't alone scare the crap out of rivals, Toyota then emulated and applied the new standards, stamping and tooling advancements, tolerances and built the 1992 XV10 Camry to Lexus standards, emulating the design language, proportions and bubble shape of the LS400, as did the 1993 AE101 Corolla. The idea of applying industry-benchmark standards to a mid-segment midsize family car and compact economy car was absolutely insane. The models had to be decontented in later generations, making those gen Camry/Corolla unicorns. When competitors saw Toyota apply the influences of engineering to their mainstream non luxury products, they sh*t themselves. The XV10 is what set Camry's reputation, and the reputation and best-selling status is credited to the UCF10 LS400 influences of the 3rd gen, in looks and standards. People wanting a "poor-man's LS400". It is incredible how revolutionary this car truly was. When people bash Lexus for looking like a "fancy Camry" what they don't understand is the Lexus was a completely bespoke flagship, and by leading the entire corporation to Toyota, the redesigns of the mainstream cars were influenced by the LS400, so the resemblance is reverse of how people think. People that believe Lexus is a rip off are not mechanical engineers. I am a Lean process and Mechanical engineer. This car inspired me to become a mechanical/aerospace engineer

    I am 64 years of age and I have to admit I have never owned a Lexus. On the other hand, I have owned many different cars and trucks and motorcycles from many manufacturers. I can tell you that by and large the Japanese manufacturers don’t treat the passenger, the same way they treat the driver. One of the reasons that American trucks are so popular is that they give the same amount of attention to the passengers amenities as they do the drivers. In many Japanese cars, even the top-tier models, the driver gets a seat that adjusts in many different ways and the passenger will get a seat that goes forwards and backwards and with the back of the seat going from sitting up to laying back. I am now on disability and this fact has been sorely brought home to me. I can’t speak for Tesla for I haven’t been able to afford one and probably will not be able to. So I hope manufacturers will take this to heart without making it a $3000 option.

      I eventually bought the ls430 but I also had Toyota prius. By that time, I was so used to good gas milesage, LS 430 sucks too much gas even though I loved the car, I felt that it was gas guzzler... I dumped the car since I was getting like 17 -19 miles per gallon... Far lower than 50 miles per gallon with Prius. Two years ago I bought Lexus RX 450H, byrid because my experience with LS430. I highly recommend to buy hybrid due to economic of gas mileage. I am happy with gas mileage and comfort and qualify of the car. I bought used (2015 year with only 30,0000 miles) but had not car trouble issues.. :)

    When Toyota first got into F1 they also spent over a Billion dollars in developing that car ....and to no avail...they got out of F1 during the financial crisis in 2008 along with teams from B&W and the Honda team .....

    Funny how Lexus never appealed to me as a luxury car. It always seems to be yet another boring middle class car. But maybe that’s because I’m Dutch and in The Netherlands. It doesn’t’ strike me as a very successful brand here.

    Here in Germany "almost every 1 could lease an ABM" (Audi / Bmw / Mercedes), starting late 2000s and got "worse" over the years prevented the Sucess of Lexus 😢, even if those were almost at the same Level.

    My wife and I have had four, two ES and two LS that have served us well, she decided she wanted a Q7 when she retired and while it has been a good car it's no Lexus. She is going back to Lexus for her next vehicle.

    I still love toyota and lexus. Wish they made like dodge cars. Straight line 6 8 10 12 and hybrid or twin turbo options on top. Menu pairing. Then choose frame like scion, etc.

      I’m in the process of moving away from European cars. Sold a V-8 powered five series BMW. I bought the last RX 350 that came to my state because I had no desire for anything with a four-cylinder TwinTurbo set up. Even from Lexus. One more BMW will go by the wayside in order to get my wife into an all wheel drive V6 powered Lexus sedan. No more Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche vehicles for my family 👍🏻

    The LFA was actually a failure. Too expansive and slower than the competition at the time. It's only gaining popularity now after the fact. But loved the video. And agree work everything what

    if we could only go back in time, Lexus could have use the 5.0 V12 of their Toyota Century for the LS and SC during the 1990s,
    and called them the LS500 and SC500 respectively,
    to rival Germans best, specially the ones with the V12s
    -Mercedes Benz S600L and SL600
    -BMW 750iL and 850Ci
    -Audi A8 W12
    among those,
