Last year, Lexus announced that the model that launched the brand, the LS, would leave the US. This was a big deal, since the car was the brand’s ultimate flagship, and the original model was designed for the brand and for America. What was also a bit strange was that the car wasn’t discontinued for the whole world. For example, you can still buy it in Japan, a market where the Lexus brand didn’t show up for years.
