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.

2018 Lexus LS 500 gets the F Sport treatment

Tue, Apr 11 2017

Lexus has used this year's auto show season for a continuous rollout of its all-new flagship sedan, the 2018 LS 500. It debuted in Detroit, followed by the hybrid LS 500h in Geneva. For New York, the updated LS gets the F Sport treatment, which includes design touches, chassis tuning and added stopping power. The 2018 Lexus LS F Sport, whether in gas-only or hybrid trim, receives a set of 20-inch alloy wheels and larger, six-piston caliper front and four-piston rear brakes. Up front, the F Sport grille is refined beyond that of the standard LS, and Lexus notes that it took CAD designers five months to get the desired look, with its 7,100 individual surfaces. Other visual changes include an enlarged side grille, unique rocker panels, trunk moldings, and, of course, F Sport badging. The Ultra White exterior is exclusive to the F Sport version. Inside the car, F Sport front seats offer more support for spirited driving. The driver commands the car through an F Sport steering wheel, aluminum pedals, and a perforated shift lever. Details like the Ultrasuede in the seats and headliner and brushed aluminum trim add to the interior's sporty refinement. For a bolder look, Lexus offers the F Sport-exclusive Circuit Red interior. Just one version, though – the rear-drive, gasoline LS 500 Â– will offer a handling package for more prowess on curvy roads. It features Lexus Dynamic Handling, which includes variable ratio steering, and active rear steering to help guide the rear wheels around corners. The sport tuned air suspension includes the Active Stabilizer system for flatter cornering. The powertrain and its output figures remain unchanged from the standard version. The new Lexus LS is set to go on sale in early 2018.

Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus rank tops with mystery shoppers

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

If you want the best experience possible when buying a new car, then you'd better head down to your local Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti, or Lexus showroom. According a mystery shopper study conducted by the Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index, those three luxury brands ranked highest among the 33 makes surveyed. The highest scoring mainstream brands included GMC, Hyundai, Kia, and Ford.
The study asked 5,203 mystery shoppers about the tactics used by salespeople during their most recent automotive purchases, and found a few interesting parallels along the way. For example, dealers at Infiniti, Land Rover, and Smart leaned heavily on vehicle walk-arounds with potential customers, while Jaguar, Volvo, and Audi were quick to point out exclusive features.
This study contrasts with a similar study conducted by JD Power in 2012. Its Sales Satisfaction Survey listed Mini as the top scorer, while Pied Piper's mystery shoppers ranked the BMW-owned brand below the industry average. Lexus scored highly on both surveys, as did Infiniti and GMC.

2015 Lexus RC F configurator heats up

Thu, Dec 4 2014

Just over two weeks after Lexus activated its online configurator for the 2015 RC350, the Japanese luxury marque is flipping the switch on the car we really want to customize – the 467-horsepower RC F. In addition to letting us play about with various configurations for the new sports coupe, Lexus' latest builder is decidedly different and more visually pleasing. It also does away with the brand's typical, and occasionally unintuitive, grouping of options. In its place, we have a trio of simple, logical packages. There's a navigation pack that adds, um, navigation. It also includes in Lexus' Enform telematics suite. You can also select a Premium Pack, that adds luxury features like heated and vented seats, park assist and LED headlamps, while an all-weather pack tacks on a heated steering wheel, headlamp washers and a deicer for the wiper blades. There are some secondary options, too, including an attractive set of 19-inch wheels, an updated leather interior, adaptive cruise control and a moonroof. All in all, pretty standard fare. Prices for the RC F start at $62,400, not counting a $925 destination charge. Head over to Lexus' consumer page and build your ideal RC F.
