Because Lexus was fairly new and one of the hottest luxury cars at the time. Plus music videos were lower budget. Check out I Get Around by Tupac, I think one guy pulls up in a Nissan. Now music videos have multi-million dollar budgets.

I have no problem with runnin in the 90s (Initial D fans?)
Seriously though, the 90s had some of the best cars..Supra, Skyline, 300ZX, RX-7, 3000GT, 240SX, and of course the GS, haha. It was a great era for cars, in my opinion, you still cant beat the styling of the Supra and Skyline R34, the R33 is good too, but I like the R34 more. What does the the sport car lover have now, the 350Z, S2K, then theres always porsche and what not. I know the Supra TT was like 60K when new, and the RX-7, 3000GT, and 300ZX werent cheap either, and to add infilation(sp?) that would probably be more lik 70-80K now. So the new GTR coming out will be fairly priced, and the 350Z and S2K are pretty cheap compared to a "true" sports car, I say true because both cars are very nice but they are still getting beat by 10+ year old stock cars. The Supra TT, as tested by C&D back in 93, ran a 13.1, the S2K is about a second away, and the new 07 350Z will probably be close to a half second behind.
I dont even know where Im goin with this, so Im just gonna stop.

My baby is practically in factory condish; I have been stopped on the street several times with propositions to buy my 1stG. (I'll never give her up!)

This car obviously set a trend during the 90's, from which other car makers followed because the first gen looks like a newer model car no matter how "old" they are; all others are imitations of the original.

So, I'll be stuck in the 90's a little while longer, then I'll start working towards a 2ndG!

What ever you do dont get rid of the first gen. I have a 1st and 2nd and I have to say I still love the 1st better. In fact im looking at trading the 2nd up to a 3rd this weekend. It looks like a 1st and 2nd mashed together anyway
