 2003 Lexus LS430

Since its inception, the Lexus luxury division has been steadfast and relentless in its pursuit of perfection. A challenging benchmark to be sure, but one the brand has been exceedingly successful at meeting with home run after home run. The original first-generation LS400 was a smash hit that quickly rose to the head of the luxury sedan class with a large and loyal owner base and a slew of industry awards.

 

When a third-generation redesign was slated for 2001, Lexus would better its top-rated sedan in the premium luxury segment with more of everything: design edginess, interior room and comfort, performance, safety and technology.

 

The resulting Lexus LS 430 was one of the finest luxury sedans available anywhere. A two-time winner of an Edmunds.com Editors' Most Wanted award, the LS 430 boasted a top-notch interior, a superb ride, excellent build quality and an impressive array of features. The only thing that gave shoppers pause at the time was the car's price. Loaded with options, this was the first LS-series car to finally reach the price levels of premium European luxury sedans.

 

With price depreciation having set in, that's less of an issue now. As a previously owned model, the Lexus LS 430 provides the same exceptional luxury sedan experience as it did when it was new. For shoppers in this segment, especially ones wanting a luxury sedan that's a bit more demure than its German rivals, the LS 430 is an excellent choice.

The Lexus LS 430 of the 2001-'06 era featured a 4.3-liter V8 engine, a freshened aerodynamic shape and a new suspension that offered greater stability and a smoother ride. The sedan's V8 provided 278 horsepower and 312 pound-feet of torque. Power flowed to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control. A full complement of airbags came standard, as did antilock brakes with brake assist, traction control, the VSC stability control system and tire-pressure monitoring.

 

Naturally, plenty of luxury features came standard as well, including dual-zone climate control (with air registers that swept back and forth), a 14-way power driver seat with memory positioning, cruise control, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, auto-dimming mirrors, an in-dash 6 CD changer and a power trunk closer. The offered car also has the optional upgraded leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, moonroof, voice-activated navigation system, parking assist, and 240-watt Mark Levinson premium audio system.


The cabin of the Lexus flagship is warm and inviting given its high-quality leather, abundance of rich walnut trim, sharp electroluminescent gauges and wonderfully comfortable seats.

 

This one owner example, originally purchased for an out-of-state weekend home, but was brought back to California after just one year, to reside in the Southern California family home.  Meticulously maintained at the local Lexus dealer, with a substantial file of receipts, the car shows and drives exceptionally well, with only 50,000 Carfax certified miles on the clock.  Recent maintenance included the timing belts, a service not typical for some time to come, but testament to the care taken with this car. 

 

Paint is excellent, original and shows no sign of accident damage or repair.  Wheels are pretty much scuff free with reasonable tires.  The interior is excellent with very minor wear to the driver’s seat surface, conducive with age, mileage and the quality of the rest of the car.  Everything works. 

 

The car drives as well as it looks with great power, responsive transmission, faultless brakes, suspension and steering.  It drives like new.


The car is accompanied by the aforementioned file of service receipts, all 3 keys, all books and a clean, clear California title.

Lexus LF-CC gets green light, Evoque rival under consideration

Fri, 30 Nov 2012

While wandering the floor at this week's LA Auto Show, we had a bit of an epiphany at the Lexus stand. The traditionally stodgy Toyota premium outlet is really starting to come into its own in terms of exciting design. And not just with production models like the excellent new GS sedan. At the front of the display, a triangular formation of plinths was a feast for the eyes - the head was formed by the LFA Nurburgring Package supercar, flanked on either side by the company's outré LF-LC and LF-CC concept cars.
So consider it welcome news on our end that the LF-CC concept shown above has apparently been given the production green light, with a projected arrival by 2015. So says Autocar, which quotes an unnamed source at Lexus willing to confirm that a senior engineer has been tasked with the project. The British publication suggests that the production version of the 2012 Paris Motor Show star will probably be built in both coupe and convertible formats and ride atop the automaker's new modular rear-wheel drive architecture. Power is expected to be an evolution of the GS 350h's hybrid drivetrain.
In other news, that same shadowy source at Lexus has reportedly confirmed that the Japanese luxury brand is "seriously studying" offering a small SUV in the mold of the stylish Range Rover Evoque from Land Rover, though no further details are given. Lexus' own RX crossover range has long been a massive hit for the brand, leaving many industry analysts scratching their heads as to why the automaker hasn't already expanded its crossover offerings to include both larger and smaller formats.

2013 Lexus ES300h

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

The Lexus ES lineup, the brand's bread-and-butter sedan, has been completely redone for 2013. With that tip-to-tail rework comes the model's first hybrid. We think the ES350 is better in every way than its predecessor, so a spin in the ES300h is warranted to see what it's like to live with the model sure to become the best-selling Lexus hybrid sedan. In particular, we wanted to see how the gas-electric luxury cruiser handled the battery-sapping realities of winter, so we ventured out into the slush and snow to file this report.
Driving Notes:
Peel away the slush, and this car sure is sharp-looking. It strongly resembles the excellent new GS, no bad thing. With the move to the longer Toyota Avalon underpinnings, the ES300h is long and elegant. Lexus has really upped its styling game lately.
