We'll be talking about the cars we've discovered, and the pros and cons of them, in this video review.
It might seem that this Bavarian car has been around for several generations, but it hasn't.
When the second generation of the 7-series was being produced, the Lexus came along with the legendary LS 400,
which was the main car in the US.
It was a true fish in the water, as you like to call it.
Yeah, it was the next year.
And Audi, Mercedes, and BMW, at the time...
The Corsa and the Jaguar.
Yes!
They had to change their sales policies,
work on the price, add more features, and so on.
Because this car, after a while, became the most popular luxury car in the USA and Canada.
And it just happened to be a ship around me, and I could identify it.
It wasn't even a Mercedes, or a BMW, or anything else.
This was the first generation of LS, and as you said, the next year, in 1991, the LS became the most sold car.
And it wasn't just about the numbers, it was also about the price.
The price of the car was the price of absolute quality.
And what Lexus gained from the customers in the US was that any kind of advertising was done for the customer.
And Lexus is one of the most reliable brands in the world for decades.
Despite that, in Europe, there is a very short end, I would say,
because here are the kings of the road, Audi, Mercedes, BMW,
in this luxury category, in the bottom.
And today, we can only talk about four luxury, but worldwide limousines,
because in addition to these mentions of the Germans, there is Lexus LS and nothing more.
Jaguar packed it with the XJ, unfortunately.
Cadillac never became a world product, even though they still have cars in this category.
And there are also cars in Asia, like Toyota Crown,
because in Korea there are very luxurious Kias and Hyundais,
but they are not cars that would leave Korea or Japan,
not to mention Asia.
So we have four luxury limousines all over the world,
and we have a modernized BMW 7 series,
This one is a 740LD,
and this one is a Lexus LS500h.
By the way, the modernization came in 2019,
and this one came in 2020.
The design is the same,
the equipment is almost the same,
the price ranges are very similar.
Hi.
Okay, there are a lot of individual cars here.
This one costs less than 150,000, I'm guessing 145,000€.
In this small car,
I'm not sure if you can see it, but this car costs €180,000.
Phew!
And these are still not the most expensive cars, so a 7-series can easily be sold for €200,000.
The BMW 7-series was the first car to have these kind of scratches,
and then the 7-series came along, and now, with all the teeth and everything, I'm a bit tired of it.
But these were the first Ladwins, that I thought, that if I would choose the seats, I would fit in perfectly.
I would fit in the concrete, no problem.
