Vehicle Highlights
Introduced in spring of 1993 as a late '93 model, this rear-wheel-drive 4-door sedan slipped right into the spot between the costly flagship Lexus LS 400 and the entry-level ES 300. A 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine made 220 horsepower, driving an electronic 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment included dual airbags, antilock all-disc brakes, a power tilt/telescopic steering column, and CFC-free air conditioning with automatic temperature control.
