Lexus LS (sold as the LS400 and LS430 and in Japan as the Toyota Celsior) is a Japanese rear wheel drive luxury car with a V8 engine. Length of almost 5 m gives LS a large car classification in Europe. According to most reviews Lexus LS 400 has one of the most silent cabins of modern cars, and ride comfort is generally well accepted.

The strangest feature of LS may be its exterior design. It differentiates from the rest of the luxury car market by its rather ordinary looks. Most luxury car designs do their best to separate from the crowd, while Lexus looks like the most usual larger Japanese sedan.
