Vehicle Type Large Luxury sedan This car was engineered meticulously to deliver tranquil, effortless and tremendously quiet and creamy drives on short trips or long. History/Description I’ll break from the norm in this review a little and start with a personal note. In the many years and hundreds of reviews I’ve compiled on used c

Sometimes concepts are flights of fancy that lead the way. Sometimes they're thinly disguised versions of cars that are already in the pipeline. The Lexus LF-FC feels a lot more like the latter. Parent company Toyota is seriously on-board with the idea that the hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle is the wave of the future. Their Mirai FCV is read

Depreciation is a beautiful, beautiful thing – especially if you’re in the marketplace for a second-hand car that offers tremendous styling, presence, pedigree and technology on the relative cheap. Today, numerous flagship sedans from the world’s premier luxury automakers can be had for a fraction of their original price, meaning silly-cheap access

When it comes to full-size luxury sedans, manufacturers don't move a lot of them, but they certainly do pour their hearts and souls into their flagship offerings. Perhaps that's why Cadillac has felt like an also-ran in this category for years. The CT6 is an all-new vehicle for Cadillac and gets a big, impressive exterior with styling that is

Everybody makes car payments. Even if you pay cash, there's a trickle coming out of your pocket every month in terms of depreciation, fuel-costs, and insurance. For most vehicles in the luxury market, that first factor's a doozie. Simply driving a luxury car off the dealer's lot hits it for a massive initial depreciation – it's a symbol of wealt

Lexus has just revealed new details on its all-new 2018 flagship LS sedan. It has a new engine, more safety tech, and more style - both inside and out. Lexus has made the new LS longer, lower, and wider. It's 13 mm lower on the roofline, but the hood and trunk are about 40 mm lower than before. It's also about 40mm longer, which means there is n

Lexus is showing off the hybrid version of their new flagship LS sedan at the Geneva Motor Show this week. The LS 500h follows on the heels of the swoopier twin-turbo v6 powered LS 500 that debuted at the Detroit show in January. The new hybrid gets Lexus' Multi Stage Hybrid system that combines a naturally aspirated 3.5L v6 and two electric m

Lexus took to the stage at the Tokyo Motor Show to reveal the Lexus LS+ Concept, which features body lines previously seen in the LF-FC Concept from the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, but with a front-end lighting treatment uniquely its own. Once again, the bigger story lies under

Last week, we showed you that you can be electric and still have serious performance. This week, it's a slightly different track. And a whole lot cheaper, too. This time it's a car that sits at the top of the luxury sedan pile. It also happens to be a hybrid. Which we think actually adds to the luxury of the vehicle. It's the autoTRADER.ca Find of

The all-new 2018 Lexus LS unveiled today will offer the industry’s first emergency brake and avoid feature of pedestrians at city speeds, in a unique system designed to also keep the luxury flagship sedan in the same lane. The fifth generation LS receives a longer, lower and sleeker body on a new platform that dumps the current V8 engine for a

As far as test drives go, my week with the 2020 Lexus GX, despite being completely coincidental, proved pretty serendipitous. Sandwiched between time spent with the Audi Q8 and BMW X7, two of the newest premium SUVs on the market, it’s obvious that the GX is more than a little long in the tooth. After all, it was introduced in its current form a

MIRABEL, Quebec – I have always been surprised that tire companies have such a hard time selling safety. Automakers have done such a good job of it that many customers don’t fully understand how some of the higher-tech safety features work, but insist on them anyway. But tires? They’re usually a grudge purchase, bought only because the last set

I bet if I cut out a two-inch-square piece of dashboard from any of the classic Lexus models that the automaker featured at its Milestone event, you could tell just by looking that the plastic was from a 1990s Lexus. It's a texture and appearance that maybe doesn't quite match up with the Alcantara, leather, and even ancient-paper-like grains of

Ford says the new Mustang GT is the fastest one yet, thanks to more power quicker shifting, stickier tires, and an all-new Drag Strip mode. The new Drag Strip mode is one of five selectable modes that drivers can choose from. This one is designed for maximum acceleration and straight-line performance. It is controlled by the 10-speed automatic

Did you know Lexus and parent company Toyota build two of their best-selling vehicles – the Lexus RX and Toyota RAV4 – right here in Canada, at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) plant in Cambridge, Ont.? Fellow autoTRADER.ca contributor Peter Bleakney and I were part of a contingent of journalists invited to tour the plant and sample the
