and power adjustable shoulder seat belts. The five-passenger cabin included California walnut and leather trim, power-adjustable seats, and soft-touch controls. A backlit electroluminescent gauge cluster featured a holographic visual effect, with indicator lights projected onto the instrument panel.
It was all very Star Treky, and very Japanese. The LS 400 further contained some 300 technological innovations to aid smooth operation and silence, including fluid-damped cabin fixtures and vibration-insulating rubber mounts. Original, low-mileage examples of the LS 400 are scarce. Most findings will feature commonalities like the reliable 4.0-liter V8 motor, rated at 250 horsepower, which is linked with a 4-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes traction control and ECT-i electronically controlled shifting. At the low end price-wise — about $6,000 to $8,000 — buyers will still be well-served with a power sunroof, Pioneer stereo and factory 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels.
For those seeking another luxury sedan with Asian roots, the above-referenced Acuras and Infinitis might be a good swap.
