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.

Lexus LY 650 luxury yacht is its fourth flagship

Fri, Sep 7 2018

Earlier, Lexus teased a "fourth flagship" vehicle, in addition to the LS sedan, LX SUV and LC coupe. We wondered what it could be. Production version of the LF-1 Limitless? But what's that little cylinder? Lexus cologne? Well, Lexus' fourth flagship is literally more like a ship. It's the LY 650 luxury yacht. The 65.5-foot yacht has three staterooms, three heads, and it sleeps six people. It's powered by the choice of a Volvo IPS 1200 or Volvo IPS 1350 marine engine, and can hold 1,000 gallons of fuel. View 15 Photos Lexus says the LY 650's creation was inspired by positive public reception to the 42-foot Lexus Sport Yacht Concept. And it joins a crowded ocean of luxurious yachts and/or submersibles from Porsche, Bugatti, Migaloo and Aston Martin. Lexus tapped Wisconsin-based Marquis-Larson Boat Group to build, sell and service the luxurious boat. While this wasn't quite the new Lexus flagship we expected, it certainly is beautiful. We hope we get a chance to climb aboard soon. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"

Lexus NX debuts in turbocharged and hybrid guise

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

Lexus showed off its polarizing new NX at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, trotting out both the turbocharged 200t model (Lexus' first production turbo) alongside the hybrid-powered 300h.
We still don't know a great deal about the turbocharged model, aside from the fact that the engine underhood is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, although we're hoping to get details sooner rather than later. For reference, the 2.0-liter turbo in the BMW X1 pumps out 240 horsepower while the four-pot turbo in the Mercedes-Benz GLA250 turns out 208 horsepower, which leads us to think we should expect the Lexus to fall somewhere between these two figures.
If Lexus' naming strategy in the past rings true here, though, we can confidently say the 300h will use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine with an electric motor and lithium-ion battery, just like the Lexus ES300h and Toyota Avalon Hybrid. That should mean around 200 system horsepower and well over 30 miles per gallon, although it's probably too early to predict economy with any degree of certainty.
