Despite my commitment to living car-free in Japan, I find myself constantly drawn to the first-generation Lexus LS400. This car represents something special in automotive history - Toyota's all-out effort to create the perfect luxury sedan.
The engineering that went into the LS400 is fascinating. Toyota spent billions of dollars and assigned their best engineers to the project. They tested hundreds of prototypes, used specialized machinery to reduce panel gaps, and even designed new manufacturing processes just for this car.
As someone who appreciates technical excellence and attention to detail, the LS400 represents everything I love about Japanese engineering. It's not just a car; it's a testament to what can be achieved when a company pursues perfection without compromise.
