Lexus absolutely was Tier 1 back to our debate. This car blew everyone away, and was wholly competitive with the current 5 Series and E Class, better even in some ways. Listen to that UZ V8 scream, yummmm.
Seriously impressive car here.

Was that when it first came out? I totally believe that since the last version of the LS400 was also up there quite a bit, I really wish they kept that going lol!

This has been posted here before, but I re-read this article frequently when I was young. I still have the magazine (albeit missing its cover) somewhere in my basement: 50-Grand Gazelles: 1999 Luxury Sports Sedans Compared (caranddriver.com)
My mother had a 996 911 on order at the time so between that comparison test and the 911 road test, that particular C&D issue had a lot going on for me.

I was at a party when I was in high school and I drove the LS400, my friends could not believe that we did not get the GS400 because it was so cool. Thats 17 and 18 year olds lusting after a Lexus, so yes it was a big deal that car.

I remember the GS forum was so active with people modding this car. There were always people posting teasers about their aftermarket wheels and then doing the "unveiling" which I thought was a little lame. At CL meets there were always plenty of modded GSs. Miss those days, I had more time to do those things.

Those GS400s were sick.
Back then, Xenons were new and that GS had a sharp set of them, with bright OEM yellow foglights. Add the chrome rims? Whew. Very 90s but whew.
It looked great.
