Lexus LS500 Comfort | Champagne Glasses Balance At 145mph | 1989 Lexus LS400 vs. 2020 Lexus LS500

✔ (English Subtitles Available) The Lexus balancing commercial has been recreated with the 2020 LS 500 ✔ We don’t usually cover regional TV commercials from other countries, but this one caught our eye. You may remember Lexus’ first ever advertisement in the United States, Balance, which featured a Lexus LS 400 driving at a simulated 145 mph (233 km/h) with a tower of champagne glasses stacked on top of the bonnet – without breaking a single one of them. Thirty years on, a dealer in New Jersey, Lexus of Route 10, recreated that landmark ad with the help of an unlikely but rather fitting assistant. That assistant was none other than Toyota president Akio Toyoda, who balanced the glasses on the bonnet of a brand new LS 500, though – being slightly, ahem, vertically challenged himself – not without a blunder along the way. ✔ Overview ✔ The LS is the sedan that launched the Lexus brand, but the 2021 model wears a much sharper suit than the 1990 original.
