Great reading. Mike.

Some interesting firsts, and I guess Lexus will be able to add a few others.

The low reflecting screen in the 430 would be good in the 400, it is not so easy to read in sunlight

Not impressed by no. 10.

Toyota will claim that a certain superb and reliable 60 yr old nitrogen and oil suspension system isn't 'air', but I know which I would rather own and maintain.

As for the bamboo steering wheel, and the collapsible column, were they getting desperate?...

No 10?

Citroen DS 1955!

Variable height, constant height despite weight of passengers.....

And I think the steering collapsed.

Certainly the engine would go UNDER the car in head-on crash...

AND; have a puncture, can still drive and steer!
