Toyota LS430
2000 November:
The new Lexus LS430 is
the flagship of Toyota's Lexus brand.
Priced at $171,500 ($au) it is intended to
compete with the 4.3L ($146K) and 5.5L $192K)
variants of the M.B.
E-class.
The LS430 has a 4.3 litre V8 engine -
207kW at 5600rpm and 417Nm at 3500rpm.
The LS430 is fitted with front and full-length side-curtain airbags.
It has rain-sensing windscreen wipers,
low reflection windscreen glass and rain repellant side windows.
Parking is made easier by an ultra-sonic proximity detector.
For the chauffeur driven set,
a "rear seat enhancement package" (+$8500)
adds leather seat trim, and power adjustable rear seats
with built in massager.
The new car has a heavy look to its styling,
particularly about the nose,
which is perhaps Toyota's interpretation of imposing.
