| Information on Lexus Cars and Trucks |
Several things can be said about the Lexus SC400 series: including the polarizing reactions most buyers have towards their car. The eight-cylinder engine is at the heart of the strong emotions, it is powerful for its class and delivers a large amount of torque.
Standard equipment in the SC300 for 1997 and 1998 includes the 3.0 liter engine by Toyota, weighing in at 6 cylinders and twenty four valves. A 4-speed Automatic Transmission puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Coupe arena.
There have been several award-winning trucks from Lexus over the years, including the Lexus LX470 of 1998. There are one trim levels to the LX470, including Base. The Base version is one of the more popular options, outselling other configurations. Like in 1997 the popular 4.7 liter has made this a popular choice for sport utility buyers nationwide.
The 1998 LS400 is an important vehicle to Lexus for the sedan market segment. The Base is a member of a series of one trim levels for the LS400 which include Base. The four-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Lexus. There is strong competition from vehicles from Nissan.
