Section 1Lexus has been around now for over 35 years and during that time, the manufacturer has produced some truly exceptional sedans. Back when people actually still bought four-door cars , Lexus offered some of the most luxurious, sportiest, or just all-around good cars of their time. Below we have gathered a list of our ten favorite Lexus sedans to have ever been produced.(10) 1993 Lexus ES 300Did you know the ES once came with a manual transmission? Yup, that ES, the car with a reputation for being a favorite amongst a demographic of a certain advanced age. But, when the ES first launched, things were different. The front-wheel drive, V6 powered sedan could be had with a five-speed manual transmission. The early second generation cars with the larger 3.0-liter V6 engines were the best. (9) 2007 Lexus IS 350The second generation Lexus IS had a lot to live up to. The first generation proved Lexus could make a fun compact sport sedan, so how was the successor going to fare? Well, it wasn't quite the success of the first car, but with a V6 engine making over 300 hp powering the rear-wheels, the new IS 350 was every bit the performer of its key rivals. (8) 1998 Lexus LS 400The 1998 face-lifted LS is on this list for one reason only - looks. It was a great car in its own-right, but it hadn't really altered much since the game-changing 1990 model. What we really like on the 1998 model was the perfection of the conservative, mature, presence-filled styling. It was the Japanese-Mercedes-Benz of the era without a doubt. (5) 2008 Lexus LS 600h LFor the 2008 model year, Lexus decided it was time to take on the super premium full-size luxury sedans. The brand's weapon of choice was the LS 600h L. Since Lexus lacked a V12 engine in North America, the manufacturer went with what the brand knows; hybrids. Using the 5.0-liter V8 prominently featured in this list, the extended length sedan added electrification to make a total of 439 hp which may have still fallen short of some competitors, but the fuel-economy was unmatched. (4) 2008 Lexus IS FMuch like the GS F, the IS F was created to take on BMW's M cars and Mercedes-Benz's AMG models. With widebody sheet metal and a unique offset stacked exhaust tip layout, the IS F was easy to distinguish from regular IS models. With a 416 hp 5.0-liter V8 engine, the IS F had all the other go-fast bits like Brembo brakes, sport-tuned suspension, limited-slip differential, and more. (3) 1998 Lexus GS 400The original V8-powered Lexus GS model, the 1998 version is an icon. With unique styling, it was instantly recognizable on the road and the 4.0-liter V8 engine made smooth power with a nice soundtrack. Maybe we're bias, but Japanese car fans of the 1990s, or anyone who played the Gran Turismo 2, will get the appeal of this car.
