The first-generation Lexus LS400 (1990-1994) is quite possibly one of the top five best cars in the world.</span> In speaking to some owners of this car, I heard comments like "…best car I've ever owned", "…this is a great car", "…fabulous ride". One owner summed it up by saying "This may be the last car I ever buy."
In 1989 when Toyota introduced this car to America as a 1990 model, the automotive press thought it didn't have a chance against the likes of Mercedes and BMW. Toyota knew how to build great economy cars and small family sedans but this is the big league. Jokes circulated about this folly, one of which I remember on a TV drama where a car thief who specialized in stealing expensive cars pulled up with a Lexus. When his partner saw him and gave him a look, he said
<span style=""color: #800000;"">"it was dark, I thought it was a Mercedes."</span> As a matter of fact, the only LS400 that I have ever known to break down was in the 1991 movie "The Grand Canyon" starring Danny Glover (a movie I otherwise highly recommend.)
Well, it took less then a year for everyone in the automotive industry to change their attitude and give this car the respect it deserved. Lexus became the standard by which other cars are judged. Only the Mercedes S Class and the BMW 7 Series could rightly claim to be better cars. But they cost ,000 to ,000 more than the Lexus LS400 which had a starting price of under ,000 in 1990.
Today,
<span style=""color: #800000;"">we know that the first-generation Lexus LS400s are quite possibly the most reliable cars on the planet.</span> The ’93 that we used for this report with 101,000 miles on it is more reliable than most new cars. And this is no fluke. Check out its reliability rating in any consumer publication that rates used cars and see for yourself. Better still, talk to an owner. The owner of our test car purchased it over a year ago from a wholesale lot (which means no warrantee) and has driven it about 16,000 miles. So far, he has changed the oil 3 times and replaced a parking light bulb.
