Lexus flagship LS 430 boasts 6-speed transmission, clubby interior
When Lexus, the upscale division of Japanese automaker Toyota, set out to restyle its flagship LS 430 luxury sedan, it hoped to draw even more men into the fold. The plan apparently has worked -- at least judging from the male side of this duo.
The new LS 430 has such new details as exposed dual exhaust tailpipes, more dramatically sculpted headlights and the first-time availability of 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires. It doesn't get an engine change, but it now boasts a performance-enhancing six-speed automatic transmission, which replaces a five-speed unit.
While the LS 430 has a base price of $55,125, our test vehicle cost $70,380 -- largely due to the addition of an $11,320 options package which included a Mark Levinson audio/navigation system, air suspension, and front-and-rear climate-control seats.
Anita was less enthusiastic about the revamped LS 430 after the power trunk closer developed a taste for her fake nails.
HE: I think I'm gonna hate myself in the morning for saying this, but the LS 430 may be my favorite Lexus. Maybe it's just a sign of encroaching old age, but I feel right at home behind the wheel. If it were my money, I'd probably spend it on a Jaguar, but I have to say that I like the Lexus a whole lot better than other luxury competitors like the BMW 7-Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The LS 430's leather- and wood-trimmed cabin has the ambience of an exclusive men's club or a great library. You just want to settle in that spacious seat behind the steering wheel and stay there for a good long time. It makes me almost regret that I gave up cigars and brandy. The LS 430 is one of the most sophisticated-looking competitors in a very tough segment of the market. And, frankly, I don't understand why you aren't raving about it.
SHE: You mean outside of the fact that I could never reach the massive door to shut it once I got behind the wheel? Or that the steering wheel felt too big? Or that the styling seemed less men's club and more stodgy to me? Oh, and the fact that it cost me 50 bucks to get my nails fixed after I got them crunched in the power trunk closer? I don't know what I did wrong. I popped the trunk with the remote key fob and the top came up slightly. I went to give it a boost up and it came down on my left hand. I still don't know how I managed to squeeze it out of there. I got a lot of sympathy once I made it over to the salon, though.
HE: Obviously, the Lexus isn't idiot-proof. You probably should have read the owner's manual before you tried fiddling with anything.
SHE: Forget about the cigars. Have you heard the expression "Put a pipe in it?"
HE: Gee, with throwaway lines like that, you could rent yourself out as a plumber's friend. Since we're getting technical, let's talk nuts and bolts. I'm a big fan of the standard adaptive fro nt lighting system -- headlights that turn in the direction of the steering wheel. It's a great feature that really improves your nighttime vision. We had the optional "smart access" system that allows the driver to unlock and start the car simply by touching the door handle, if the key fob is in your pocket. And the optional navigation system now integrates Bluetooth wireless technology, which allows passengers to make hands-free phone calls through the system's touch-screen control panel. I'm just not sure that a lot of buyers are going to swallow that $11,320 price tag on the Ultra Luxury options package that includes a lot of those high-tech features.
SHE: I give Lexus credit for including a lot of standard features on the restyled LS 430. New for 2004 are standard knee air bags for the driver and front passenger, along with side air curtains and bigger side air bags. That's a cut above such products as the new Volkswagen Phaeton, which surprisingly lacks knee air bags. We probably should note that despite all the upgrades in the '04 model, Lexus uses the same 4.3-liter double-overhead-cam V-8 engine that powered the 2003 model. So don't expect any change in the horsepower department or in the fuel-economy numbers.
HE: Yes, but with the help of that new six-speed transmission, the 430 now can accelerate from 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, compared to 6.3 seconds for the 2003 model. If that doesn't thrill you, honey, you can hop in the back seat of the LS 430. The goodies in that $11,000 options package extend to the rear compartment, where you can enjoy adjustable seats that can be heated or cooled, swivel-type reading lamps and sunshades on the doors. You can sit there and recover the next time you get your fingers stuck where they shouldn't have been in the first place.

2020 Lexus LX 570 Sport Package is sporty like tube socks
Tue, Jul 30 2019The Lexus LX is enormous, square, old, and expensive. It is also very luxurious, and now it has a sporty version, with Lexus announcing the Sport Package for the 2020 LX 570. But you can only get it on the three-row trim, the least jazzy of the bunch. The styling makeover adopts a sport grille, which means an ornate mesh instead of slats in the spindle opening, and a new lower portion that appends parallelogram intakes at the corners. Not only do the vents appear to be non-functional, they look like aftermarket afterthoughts. The sides get body-colored mirrors with chrome accents, while in there's a tweaked lower rear valance. Inside, leather-trimmed seats come in either Black, Cabernet, or exclusive Moonlight White, under a black headliner. If our numbers are correct, Lexus has bumped 2020 LX prices up by $150 across the admittedly small board. The base, two-row model will start at $86,380. Assuming the destination charge holds steady at $1,295, that makes for a total of $87,675. The three-row will need $92,675. Lexus Safety System+ comes standard, with assistance features such as Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, Intelligent High-Beam headlamps, and adaptive cruise control. When the range goes on sale in September, the LX 570 with the Sport Package will cost $100,595. That seems like a weighty chunk for minor ornaments; however, the Sport Package automatically adds the Luxury Package, which adds features like heated and ventilated seats, four-zone climate control, LX projector door lamps, and a la carte options like the 19-speaker Mark Levinson audio and the 21-inch wheels. Optioning a 2019 model with to the same spec comes to $97,935, so the Sport Package comes to $2,310 after subtracting the $150 price increase. That also seems like a lot, considering the Luxury Package already provides the option of Cabernet seats. But the LX is a special kind of beast. Any truck that can run with a multi-terrain system mode called Mogul instead of Snow doesn't have to live by the same rules as other terrestrial rigs. That's what you can do when you're a dinosaur that "packs in a lot of charm."
2015 Lexus RC F Review
Wed, Aug 26 2015Every year, thousands of people buy two-door coupes that bear the badges of BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Audi RS, and Cadillac V. These cars are powerful, fast, agile, and - if you believe the marketing - are made to kick ass on the track. But, and this is just my theory, only about 0.2 percent of these owners actually drive their cars the way the companies intended. Most buyers, I think, want the image put forth by an M4 or C63 AMG more than any dynamic abilities. These people just want to give the impression that they're out tearing up the local road course, and a $70,000 sports coupe and a pair of Pilotis are just the ticket. Which is not to say they don't use the performance of these cars, just not the full track-day capabilities. If this describes you, I recommend checking out the new Lexus RC F. This coupe is powered by a 5.0-liter V8, complete with 467 horsepower and 389 pound-feet of torque. These figures, while impressive in a vacuum, are troubling when viewed alongside the competition. The Mercedes-AMG C63 tops 500 in horsepower and torque in S guise, while the six-pot Cadillac ATS-V is nearly equal on power but offers almost 60 more pound-feet of torque. And while the BMW M4 cedes more than 40 horsepower to the Lexus, the RC F doesn't feel as potent from the driver's seat. The RC F doesn't even feel as potent as less-powerful competition. This numerical deficit translates to the stopwatch, where the RC F lags behind the force-induced competition. The C63 and ATS-V both hit 60 in 3.9 seconds, while the BMW takes 4.1 seconds (these are all manufacturer estimates, by the way). The RC F needs 4.4 seconds to hit 60 miles per hour. The only vehicle in this segment that's slower is the Audi RS 5, and that's been on sale longer than all its current competitors combined. And the Audi's charms (oh, that glorious engine note) help you overlook its lack of pace. The RC F doesn't have the aging Audi's charisma, making its lack of both perceived and actual pace more glaring. I'm placing blame on this car's overbearing induction sound. It was a neat trick on the original IS F – this car's predecessor – but over the years it's just become kind of played out. At the least the noise is real, piped into the cabin via a resonator, but it sounds too artificial. And the point at which it kicks in is entirely predictable. Neither of these traits contribute to an involving driving experience.
This LED-covered Lexus IS doubles as a display
Tue, Dec 6 2016Why would you put 41,999 LEDs on a 2017 Lexus IS sedan? Well, for starters, because you don't have 42,000 LEDs available, but also to get attention. This car was built as a mobile programmable screen to be featured in a music video by Dua Lipa. (No, we hadn't heard of her either, but that's cool.) It's called the LIT IS, because, well, you know, and it is featured in Dua Lipa's new music video for "Be the One." Lexus says it used a mile of wire to connect all of those light sources (how much must that weigh?) and that together they put out 175,000 lumens, or about the amount of light emitted by 100 100-Watt bulbs. They're even stuck inside the spindle grille. It sort of reminds of the Swarovski crystal headlight option on a Mercedes-Benz S-Class coupe, only if the entire car were a headlight. And the headlight could change color. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

For some reason. Apparently Lexus wants us to pay attention to this car. Related Video: Auto News Celebrities Design/Style Lexus Luxury Sedan lexus is
