In the event you were not aware, Lexus is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese car maker Toyota. Today, the Lexus marque is marketed in over 90 countries worldwide and has become Japan’s largest-selling manufacturer of premium cars. Further, Lexus is headquartered in Nagoya, Japan.
After much tinkering and tweaking from within the ranks of Toyota, the resulting first Lexus car, the Lexus LS 400, had a design that shared zero major elements with previous Toyota vehicles. Equipped with a new 4.0 L V8 gasoline engine and rear-wheel drive, this auspicious sedan debuted in January 1989 at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
