1995 Lexus LS 400

1995 Lexus LS 400 Review
Improving on near perfection

Overview

What is it they say in that beer commercial? It doesn't get any better than this?

Well the Lexus LS 400 isn't exactly a car you'd associate with beer - Dom Perignon is more like it - but that's what we thought about the original LS 400. For the money, luxury cars don't get much better. And it was also hard to see how the Lexus, from Toyota's luxury-car division, could get much better.

But the Lexus design team found all sorts of ways to improve on the original.

This is no mere face-lift. Toyota claims that 90 percent of the 1995 LS 400's parts and components are either all-new or completely redesigned.

And even though the original LS 400 was world-class in just about every respect - smooth power, quiet operation, meticulous fit-and-finish, velvet ride, top customer satisfaction - the new one is, yes, better.
