I happened upon this site right after I bought my second Lexus, the LS. I knew that the LS had made automotive history in its debut and wanted to find out more info to further fuel my passion for the marque. In actuality I also became a member of a great community, rich with knowledge and information and rich with an eagerness to help eachother and rib eachother from time to time. :D Rock on LOC :cheers:
The FL state fair is going on now, sometime this week I'll head on over there and get funnel cakes, caramel apples, corn dogs and cotton candy. Damn, it looks like I'll also be spending more time in the gym. :P
I started liking Lexus back in 93 when my affluent uncle bought a used '91 LS. He trusted me with his cars and he let me drive it. I was very impressed as I didn't know that Toyota could build such a highly refined sedan. He was actually at a Toyota dealership buying another Land Cruiser and the salesperson showed him the LS and he bought it. He traded it on an Mercedes S500, and always says that he liked his LS much better than his S-class.
What was your first impression of watching the "champagne flutes on the hood of the LS" commercial?
As far as I know, that feature (Central Locking) was not available on the LS until the 98 model. Before that, the most that would happen is that you could roll up/down the driver's window by turning the key in the lock cylinder.
Kick !Removed!!!! I remember when this commercial aired, even though I thought it wasn't true, I still liked it. In actuality, that commercial is legit.
