This Motor Trend Import Car of the Year was owned by the internationally famous actor and film producer Leonardo DiCaprio! From his first car, a 60’s Mustang filled with the classic Windsor 351 to his present environmentally friendly $100K+ea Fisker and Tesla, Leo has always loved insanely fast cars.

The 2nd generation Lexus GS 400 packs V-8 power in a flashy four-door to create a fun and seriously fast ride. It comes at no surprise that the A-List Actor made this his car of choice to accompany his many exotic girlfriends like, drama series Gossip Girl Blake Lively, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Bar Refaeli, and Playboy Model Monica Hansen. Confirmed by the cars former service manager in Beverley Hills, Gisele Bundchen has been seen as a passenger when dropping this car off for service.

Want some added fun, Lexus still shows Leo as the driver of this car on their records. I’ve personally had them greet me as Mr. DeCaprio.

Nominated for multiple Academy Awards and Golden Globes, Leonardo DeCaprio began his international fame after staring alongside Kate Winslet in James Camerons blockbuster in ’97 film, Titanic. This record grossing film is responsible for launching the “Leo-Mania” craze. Perhaps the fictional Blue Diamond owned by Louis XVI inspired the actor to purchase this stunning Blue Onyx colored GS IX00.

Outfitted with premium tunes, the actor complemented the Nakamichi sound system and glove box-mounted six-CD changer by adding a HIFONICS AMP and Kicker Sub. The navigation unit will reveal the film stars secrete life; by prying into the many undeleted “Marked Points” including the celebrity’s home up in the Bird Hills of West Hollywood (Records show that he bought this home after the filming of Titanic and still owns it today).

I would suspect that even Tom Brady would find interests in the locations where Leo took his gorgeous Gisele, like possibly the Spa across the street of the beach in Santa Monica..?

This Blue Diamond has been a fabulous car; maintained by a private mechanic in San Diego with all records and clean title its going to be hard to part from. Somehow however, the car has inspired me to move up, like did the actor, to something like the Tesla Model S… Hey Leo, perhaps a trade, the release of some of those sketchy places that you’ve been like Historic Filipinotown alone should make up for the difference in value between your Tesla and the old decade old ride. BTW, It’s not hard to delete the time stamped data; it’s as though you left your laptop or Little Black Book in the car when the lease expired.

2019 Infiniti QX50 vs. compact luxury SUV rivals: How they compare

Thu, Feb 1 2018

With apologies to the EX35, or whatever it was eventually renamed, Infiniti has been without a proper, competitive entry in the compact luxury SUV segment. You know, the segment that's growing faster in sales and entries than any other? To say the 2019 Infiniti QX50 is long awaited would therefore be an understatement. At first glance and drive, the new QX50 would indeed seem to be wildly more competitive than its predecessor, which come to think of it, was eventually called the QX50 as well. This one is based on an all-new front-wheel-drive platform, and although it lacks the inherent verve of the old, rear-drive- and 370Z-based one, the resulting increase in cabin space should be a welcome tradeoff. In fact, as you'll see below, the QX50 has gone from one of the smallest compact SUVs to the most spacious. How does it stack up in every other way? Say, against the segment's four best-selling entries last year: the 2018 Lexus NX 300, 2018 Acura RDX, 2018 Audi Q5 and 2018 BMW X3. On paper at least, really well as it turns out. Let's go to the spreadsheet! Discover and compare other luxury crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Comparing engines, drivetrains and transmissions With the exception of the Acura, all of the contenders come with 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines. As you can see, the Infiniti is the heavyweight amongst the four-bangers, boasting the most horsepower and torque. The Acura V6 nips it by 11 hp, but the QX50 is still the overall torque champ. Plus, as we documented in the QX50 first drive, the Infiniti's new VC-Turbo engine is also the most technologically advanced. The Lexus is the wimp of the group and is also the second-heaviest, which isn't exactly the ideal scenario. The Infiniti is the only one in the group to feature a continuously variable transmission. That's not going to generate much applause around here. The BMW tops the gear count with eight, while the Audi is the only entry with a dual-clutch automated manual. The Acura and Lexus have only six gears, but they're good transmissions and it's not like their fuel economy is off the pace. The Audi and BMW come standard with all-wheel drive, while the others offer a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Comparing cargo and interior space The new front-wheel-drive platform is paying dividends inside for the 2019 QX50, as it now boasts the most maximum cargo space at 65.1 cubic feet.

Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

A revised methodology in devising its annual Car Brand Report Cards has seen Consumer Reports award Lexus its top overall ranking for 2013. For the first time ever, the institute broke out individual brands from their larger corporate umbrellas, meaning car makers like Lexus and Scion were judged independently from parent company Toyota. That strategy worked out well for Lexus, as the luxury brand earned a top report card score of 79 for the 2013 model year.
The institute has recommended every one of the Lexus models it has tested to date, and said that the company's products won out thanks to "a foundation of plush and very reliable vehicles."
Meanwhile, Mazda and Subaru tied for the second-highest scoring report cars, with scores of 76. Subaru earned praised for sporting models like the BRZ, which CR testers apparently had a lot of fun driving (naturally), while the Mazda products were lauded for their blend of practicality, sportiness and efficiency. Both of the Japanese brands offered good handling, fuel economy and versatility, said Consumer Reports.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.
