Hideous is a polite word!

They have been waiting for Stevie Wonder to come along and buy this abomination of a Lexus from them for over a year maybe even longer.

Even Stevie would see the horror of that!

I mean, why would anyone even do that, as if you could improve on an LS.  Unless of course it was made into an estate, then I'd be interested!

I've seen it on here before (I assume same car!), I think on the whole it's a good looking car but disfigured with what looks like murky plastic over headlights & I prefer the LS 400's rear end, as for the price........1992🤡........he gotabe kidding

I think a wiser use of that kind of money (apart from giving it to me) would be to buy one of the exceptional LS's that do occasionally come up, or maybe a early 2000 Toyota Crown.  Speaking of which, some of the later Crowns look amazing.

How about this 2015 beauty.

Not a bad looking affair, but it looks a little pregnant compared to the lines of any of the recent LS, GS range.  Still it is a Toyota, so most likely a nice car to own and drive.

Interesting to see how it evolved since the 50's from this   -  Crown Mk1

Interesting article, it states the Lexus GS as its closely related sibling.  If money was no object I'd like a Toyota Crown, but then I'd like a Nissan GTR or a Chevrolet Corvette and many other cars that I can't afford.

Crumbs the Crown has been around for a loooong time,at Mk15 now!

It didn't get a mention here but is one of the older running production models; https://www.autocar.co.uk/slideshow/ranked-world’s-longest-living-cars#31

Oh yes, after looking at the list I'll add a Mustang to my wish I had list, an early one of course!

Is it the same seller who was selling it some/many months ago?
