Absolutely wonderful cars.

A little story: I was working for a Lexus dealer in the South East and we had a green (I think it was called Millennium Jade) LS430 that had been sitting for a bit, and the used car manager had put a little bonus cash on it for whichever salesperson sold it that coming weekend. Basically every salesman in the place tried to get their customers to drive/buy it, but the color turned most people off before they even sat in it. It gets to be about 30min before closing and a lady drives up in a green S500, and she was there to see a new LS460. She drives the car but didn’t really like it because it felt too big and floaty. In a last ditch effort her salesman pitches her on this green LS430. She says she didn’t like the 460 and figured this thing would feel the same. He finally convinces her to take it for a drive. About 10min later they come back into the parking lot and she has the biggest smile on her face. She is absolutely ecstatic about how it felt and she never thought a Lexus would drive like that. At this time I was walking out and heading home for the day and I hear her say that she still wasn’t sure if it had the power of her S Class and that was something she was a bit weary about. The salesman says “I’ll show you what kind of power this has”, takes the key and tells her to hop in. Now, this dealership has a huge lot behind it that is shared by a couple other large stores owned by the same owner. You could literally do whole test drives and never leave the lot. As I’m walking to the employee parking which was all the way in the back corner I hear a cars engine heavily accelerating and decelerating, and tires squealing. I walk about another 50ft and I see a green bolt of lightning shoot out from behind the recon building, fully sideways, straighten out, and continue to rip across the parking lot. In the drivers seat was the salesman, and in the passenger seat is the lady, mouth wide open, and hollering with joy.

Monday morning, that green LS430 was gone.
