Overall Rating
Toyota Windom:

The ES was Lexus's only front-wheel drive vehicle until 1998, when the related RX was introduced, and the sedan occupied the entry-level luxury car segment of the Lexus lineup in North America and other regions until the debut of the IS in 1999.

V10 Overview:
Toyota Windom (V10). A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 0 makes it ideal for daily use.
