This 2013 Lexus LS 600h L is a super luxury, long wheelbase, 4WD hybrid with a combined HP rating of 438hp from its 5 liter V8 and hybrid assist. As an eco-friendly save-the-planet vehicle it's an absolute failure with a combined fuel consumption of 20 mpg. However it comes with every luxury accessory you can imagine (for $120K).

Nice model.
I really try to only buy American cars but every now & then I'll see "something foreign" I gotta have. That Lexus is pretty cool!Â
And yes, there are a TON of 1/18 4-door model I do NOT have.
I most always go after American sedans, that have "full function" (everything thing opens). I USUALLY ignore anything with sealed rear doors, and ALWAYS ignore resins (so far, anyway)

@chris Well, sooner or later you're going to find an image you have to have with no diecast option. I'm surprised you haven't already. Resin, for me, offers those niche car brands that no diecast manufacturers are going to spend $3 million for tooling with no chance of even amortizing their investment.

@rich-sufficool I concur explicitly. I have 3 on my "must have list" even if released in resin. They must match color and body style. The Clipper & Dodge were once part of my collection (the rare-few 4-doors I've ever owned ) and the Cadillac was my father's.
(Yes, I know there are 1/18 resins of 1967 Cadillac coupes, convertibles and limousines....but NO sedans 🙄 🙄 🙄) Â
1956 Packard Clipper Custom sedan.
1957 Dodge Coronet Lancer hardtop sedan.
1967 Cadillac Sedan de Ville.
