New Community Interview: Submit Questions for Lexus Global Design Manager


Our first community interview guest this month will be Takeshi Tanabe, manager of the global design division for Lexus & Toyota. After running the Lexus Design division, Tanabe-san now oversees all design planning for both brands. Previously, he was the chief designer for the CT 200h and the current RX.

I will be conducting an email interview with Tanabe-san over the next couple weeks, and Lexus Enthusiast premium members have the next five days to submit questions for the interview. From there, all members will have a chance to vote on the top five submissions.

The 4RX actually resembles the LF-NX's front end more than the NX does thanks to the more chiseled lines.

Question 1: Is lexus planning to build a completely electric car in the future? Question 2: Is the implementation of TNGA's going to change the budget of R&D in Lexus, because as it seems as of today, Toyota/Lexus is lagging behind a bit regarding driver-support systems? Thank you.
