2018 Lexus LS Is Officially a Bargain…to Most Folks
It is easily to argue that the 2018 Lexus LS also represents a much more formidable competitor to its European (and some American) competition than the old one. The new and comprehensive Lexus Safety System+ offers an array of next-gen technology currently unmatched by its peers. The new LS interior is also the only one of the group to actually win awards because it’s so freaking beautiful. Heck, it can even lower itself to make getting in a little easier on the old hips. However, the recently-confirmed price tag still has some hardcore auto enthusiasts (jokingly) struggling to accept paying $75,995 for the new Lexus.
“Do you know how many drift cars I could buy with that kind of money?!?” jokes Stumph, who also contributes to 6SpeedOnline. “I could buy 80 Miatas.”
“Well, a Continental with 400 horsepower and AWD for $64,000 — plus 10 Miatas on the side,” responds Browning.
‘Do you know how many drift cars I could buy with that kind of money?!?’
“Do you know how many Chevy Citations we could buy for that much cash?” adds Stumph.
Browning: “All of them.”
Stumph: “Exactly!”
Of course, if you’re going to compare a Lexus LC to any other vehicle, then yeah, it’s gonna take at least 80 other cars to even come close to matching the worthiness of a class-leading Lexus LS. After all, the all-new Lexus LS is certainly a quantum leap in terms of evolution. While the outgoing model is obviously a nice car, the new flagship is a model worthy of giving it to the Germans, right on the chin. The fact that you’ll save tens of thousands of dollars in the process is just icing on the proverbial cake. And who needs a Miata anyway?
