Almost. This one predated the Lexus branding by a few years.

Hint: It was also the topic to a previous category.

Wasn't that OBD "I"?

I had a Cadillac with on board diagnostics back in the day but I think the question is about OBD-II.

I know I've already thrown out a guess but I'll go with What is Chevrolet Corvette?

Okay, so I guess that wasn't the most Googleable topic here.

The car we were looking for was the 1987 Cadillac Allante'. Given the architecture of the computer hierarchy that gave way to the Northstar system (1993) and later OBD II (1995).
Realizing no dealership would have the equipment available, a full scan tool was built into the car. Allowing for airbag codes, powertrain codes, body codes, and lighting codes to be read with ease.

Keeping with the same category, here is the next topic:

This was the first car to be driven around the world.

Again, I’m just going to guess. I read at some point something to the effect that a Land Rover is the only vehicle that many primitive people in the world have ever seen; that is my guess: What is a Land Rover?

The Half Safe was the first car to be driven around the world. Meaning it started in Montreal and was driven to Portugal, Morocco, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Yugoslavia, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, India, Japan, Russia, Alaska, and then back to Montreal. No shipping or loading as cargo in an aircraft for the designated route.

Ford GPA would also have been correct.
