Welcome to the New Lexus Enthusiast


After years of planning and months of development, it’s finally here — welcome to the next-generation Lexus Enthusiast website!

Thank you for your patience as I’ve worked to finish the new site. It’s been a massive undertaking, absorbing nearly every minute of my life since the completion of the Lexus Enthusiast Membership Drive in October.

In addition to the new design, the site is now divided into three major sections:

  • The News section is near identical to the old Lexus Enthusiast blog — I wanted to make sure that readers had something familiar in the middle of all this change.
  • The Photos section will have a new high-resolution image featured every day. I’m very excited to add this feature.
  • Although you can’t see them just yet, the forums are up and running. There will be an private preview for founding members over the next few days, with public registration to follow shortly.

Just like any new website, there will be bugs and glitches — the changes to the website are extensive, and some broken pages and missing images are going to pop up. If you spot anything that’s not working quite right, please leave a comment below.

This would not have been possible without the assistance of the Founding Member group — being able to work exclusively on the new site over these past few months has been a wonderful experience, and I’m grateful for your support.

Let’s get started,

Kevin Watts
Editor, Lexus Enthusiast

Great work, well done! This site is now so similar to the official Lexus page; but I'm afraid I need more time to get used to the new layout as it's not as straight-forward as it had used to be.

Congrats for the new site, Kevin. Thanks for your effort. I particularly like the background from the Intersect by Lexus in Tokyo. This signifies a new leaf in Lexus Enthusiast blog. Look forward to the new forum.

Hello fellow founding members, I was wondering if anyone had heard information about updates to the 2016 Lexus GS non-Fsport version? I would suspect we will hear more about this in the year.

Hi, I visit your site often. I love reading comments but now, on the front page, you don't show the number of comments in the article. Is there a way you can bring it back?

    As a followup, I don't believe this will be possible until the forums have been activated in the next couple days -- I feel your frustration, didn't realize how much I relied on those tiny numbers.

70% more confusing layout. It's a mess that only looks trendy. It was better before.

To be honest, I preferred the old layout : less confusing to navigate and more compact.

    Well, that's why I kept the news section near identical to the old site -- if you bookmark this area, the experience should be similar to what you're used to.
