  • 2018 Lexus LS, 2017 Detroit auto show

    A flagship model is supposed to push a brand forward with new technology and style. And yet the Lexus LS hasn't received a complete redesign since 2006. That all changes for 2018 as Lexus is redesigning its flagship and lading it up with new technology and engineering. The engineering starts with the new GA-L platform that it shares with the stunning new LC sports coupe. Lexus says the platform lowers the car's center of gravity and centralizes the mass. Additional high-strength steel, as well as aluminum, have been used to remove about 200 pounds from the platform. Braces in the engine...

  • Lexus LS 600h Landaulet for Prince Albert Of Monaco wedding

    Remember the overly ostentatious Maybach 62 Landaulet? Well, Lexus has gone out and built a Landaulet of its own based on its LS 600h flagship sedan and designed specifically to chauffeur around Prince Albert II of Monaco on his wedding day.

  • Lexus To Showcase Performance at Chicago Auto Show

  • Mel Gibson

    Yes, that's Mel Gibson. Yes, he's wearing eyeglasses and a fake mustache. Considering all the hate being heaped on guy, he should probably be wearing a helmet and a shield and other junk they wore in Olden Tymes (we forget the terminology: we haven't been to a Ren Faire in years months), but maybe the guy thought he could take it easy, what with Yom Kippur on the horizon. Surely many of his worst enemies are preparing for a long stint at temple. Then too, armor is expensive, especially for a Hollywood pariah with few acting prospects in the immediate future. Perhaps Mel's cut back on his...
