For this episode, we introduce you to a six-wheel Lexus that treats the second-row seat like a boardroom. It’s the Lexus LS concept, a seven-seat “personal sanctuary” that pushes the rear wheels backward to create a lounge-like cabin and provide simultaneous access to the second and third rows. The engineering is bold—twin small rear wheels, long sliding doors, and rear steering to tame a huge wheelbase—but comfort collides with cold-weather clearance, body roll, and tight streets. We explore who this is really for, when autonomy makes sense, and why every luxury choice triggers a cascade of compromises in handling, safety, and cost.
