Try searching with the following terms:
1. Toyota Chaser
2. Lexus SC300
3. Toyota Soarer
4. Lexus GS300
5. Toyota Altezza
6. Lexus IS300
There should be more than enough with those!

Altezza=Lexus IS Series
Soarer=SC Series
Aristo=GS Series
As for the Chaser, I don't think this platform was ever badged a Lexus.
Note:when I say "equals", I mean that the platform is the same not neccasarily the engine.

Also some guy on this forum drifts a Cressida. This is actually a toyota but that may have been before lexus was a company. It still follows the same Lexus format tho (Big ol' RWD comfy car).

Calm down man. First off this is a newbie forum, so are no stupid questions or conclusions. Second I;m thinking he was asking if the LS was a Chaser, not stating that it was.
Don't flame in a newbie area. It's like yelling at someone in the special olympics for coming in 2nd.

You can totally read sarcasm... 
But yes, the Lexus LS400 is a pretty good idea. The V8 is cool, but what about a supra engine and a six speed? I'm not sure but isn't it actually the crown?
hmmm...

NO. The LS is the same as the Celsior. Unless you meant an LS with 2JZ/7MZ is a crown. Or maybe you were just kidding. Like you said, its kinda hard to read tone fluctuations indicating sarcasm in text (god i love sounding smart).

No, the LS400/Celsior is not a Crown. But the Crown does use the same 1UZ-FE V8 as the Celsior (with the old models anyway). The new models (LS430) uses a 3UZ-FE. I'm not sure about the new Crowns though.
