Default Very interesting........

I'm sure plenty of folks here have read this in some form or another, but I just want to highlight something regarding this legendary car.

http://www.cars-directory.net/history/lexus/ls400/

Here's an excerpt from the link above:

"The success of the LS 400 cost rivals billions in revenue and was credited with shifting the dynamics of the luxury market. In order to compete with Lexus, competitors were forced to adjust pricing and add more standard equipment and advanced features. An estimated five percent of 1989 early sales went to rival manufacturers, who secretly disassembled the vehicle for analysis. In 1996, Automobile Magazine named the first generation LS as one of the "24 Most Important Vehicles of the 20th Century," in recognition of the impact the vehicle had on the automotive industry."



Sorta blew me away. I have no idea the impact this car left on the auto industry. I'm kinda honored to own one.
