Yup... I remember when I was a kid, I was wondering why the Lexus LS was in the game. I thought the game was sponsored by Lexus, or Lexus was trying to self-promote themselves within the game. The car logo isn't very clear though (looks vaguely like between a Lexus and a Toyota combination). Poor car though. People would beat up the car for no reason (what did the car ever did to you?!). It's a beautiful car that gets wreaked into pieces

something to think about. Perhaps the Celsior was so popular in Japan that the games creators wanted to included in the game. Or maybe somebody had one with in Capcom's Street Fighter team and offered it up to be drawn into the game.

It seems to me that this is a sharp advance in technology. Now we don’t even have to play, but launch services like lol boosting elo and as a result, our account will have a very high rank. If I had not played in that video game on Sega for at least 30 seconds, then I would have to start the level anew because then there were no checkpoints Ohh, those were cool times

Old, Street Fighter was created in the late 80's. The 30th Anniversary game has a lot of historical content included.
Very cool.

I just played this a few weeks ago. It brought back memories. It never struck me as an LS though (having owned two). The parking lights are definitely reminiscent of an LS, but every time I saw that car in the game it reminded me more of an Acura Legend or Vigor because the grill is more slanted on the sides than a bona-fide LS 400.

Nah, the turn signal lights give it away. Perhaps it was a hybrid drawing of both cars.
