Happy 25th Birthday Lexus

[Keith Bowler]

An interesting read on the car that started the Lexus brand http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2014/10/31/the-lexus-ls-400-is-officially-a-japanese-nostalgic-car/

A very interesting read indeed.

Makes me proud to own a 25 year old Ls400 :)

You do well to still have that car and have every right to be proud,I owned a Mark one that was a 1990 and had it for 16 years it was 21 when I sold it and it as now been scrapped as the new owner did not buy it for keeps.

I like you have been lucky to own this Icon of the time and still enjoy the looks my Mark 4 gets as it wafts along with the classic style of a thoroughbred.The rest of its attributes are for me to enjoy, as the driver is the only one who can.

Same here, really interesting read. My MK4 gets lots of admiring looks. Mike.

My LS 400 is the only car I've ever owned that anyone has especially asked to sit in and admire.

I seem to remember reading this before, so my Celsior is latin for "Supreme" then :)

Where is part 2 anyone?

The comment on the uncluttered feel of the original LS400 is the essence of the beast, as well as the silence in the cabin.

This is why the 400 appeals to me, seems like the later models moved somewhat away from this look as they tried to add all the bells and whistles.

Went out the other day in a Audi Q7, seemed like you need a degree in reading way to many screens of stuff.

Give me a car where you turn on the ignition, and hit the ON button on the radio and just drive; any day of the week
