Everything about this car is smooth, quiet and comfortable. You get the best of both worlds - supreme luxury (adds significant weight) and performance (32 valve, quad-cam V8 can handle anything)!
put it this way: Lexus is different from all automakers because they can get things right on their first try. Lexus has alternated between porsche for best build quality. Porsche needed 40 more years than lexus to achieve that.... They got the LS 400 right back in the '90s, and now, with their LF-A supercar, they can beat lamborghini-class exotics. And that's their first try........
@YiJustin558 You forgot the flop that was the Lexus ES250: a rebadged Toyota that gave dealerships something to sell alongside the flagship until the real ES300 came out. The GS300 didn't sell well. And the Altezza BMW 3er competitor that didn't come with a manual transmission with the 3.0 L engine. Lexus isn't about firsts; it's about finding what other luxury manufacturers did well, and hitting all of those points. Lexus was extremely conservative during the late '90s as a result.
The worse Lexus owners are Africans. Lexus cars are luxury cars, not prairie wagons with those over sized wheels like most of them use. For those Africans that drive without the large wheels, at least try to behave like a high class person while driving a Lexus, even though your genetics and culture can never allow you to be truly high class. For example, stop tailgating other drivers at 70mi/h, and stop honking drivers at stop signs or those stopping for pedestrians at the crossings.
@TakadaMiyazaki i agrre with you, but who the fuck are you to tell people that you are high calss and they aren't
driving a damn car will not make you A HIGH CLASS! , the way you talk the way you deal with the others, and the way you look at the others what makes you a high class!.
1 word for you your car/ your house. will never makes you a high class.
There are some problems. First, it's your grammar, which is insanely atrocious that it's funny in a stupid way. Second, your idiocy tells me that I am in no position to say whether or not people are high class, yet you to tell me what doesn't make me high class. You're doing exactly what you told me not to do. Third, you seem angry with my comment! Looks like I pissed you off - Yay! Consider adding a turbo to your brain that displaces too little space inside your skull (Get it?).
OMG i remember this commercial! I was in awe over the glasses on the hood. Funny thing is, these cars are just as good and smooth 22 years later. Can't say that about a Cadillac. My favorite Lexus was the 1992 ES 300
@luvmyPT92ss I believe at launch in 1989 the price was USD38000.00. I cannot see that it was USD35000.00 a year later, considering it was introduced to compete against the Merc S-Class (420) and BMW 7 Series(735i) undercutting these by between USD 20 000.00 to USD30 000.00.
@luvmyPT92ss September 1990, you are correct. As I say, the price was USD38000.00, not USD35000.00
I have checked the figures and they are correct. The car was launched to the North American market in January 1989, but officially went on sale Sept 1990.
God bless the evolution of Lexus design. While I'm no superfan of the brand, there are some nice designs in the lineup right now. That beast is a big 1980s nightmare. What an ugly pig...
@MrOhcock It's actually because you want to believe your own words... The question is, although you say that, there is NOT a single car more reliable than TOYOTA or LEXUS :)

i own a 92 for 2 years had a 91 for another 2 years its a awsome car comfy fast quiet cheap on gas and rarely breaks down, best car ever!
Only thing i would say is get a 94+ for better braking power and brake lifespan.
