I didn't know where to put this statement so hell move it wherever Gecko or leave it here but I used to be so excited to come to this site to hear the latest Lexus news and see what new product was coming out and now honestly I think a little bit more of me dies every time I come onto the site. It's definitely not the people or the amount of time Krew has put into this site because it is truly an amazing site that I love being apart of but honestly Lexus has let us down so much since the start of this site it's sad. I still wear my LFA shirt like 1x a month and just remember those days of when I got that shirt and the future of Lexus and what was to come and to be excited about the possibilities to now here we are discussing Genesis being better than Lexus, no V8's at all in their entire lineup, the GS is dead, and whatever else you would want to put here. It's truly sad and God I hope we are all wrong and something exciting comes soon but as a Lexus fan this is the lowest I've ever been with them. I never wanted to see the Germans win as I think their cars are in the shops all the time and their customer experience is not Lexus, but they make really fun, exciting cars to drive, look at, and their reliability is getting to the point that Lexus can't say we are so many worlds ahead buy us for that anymore.
I doubt Lexus will ever be gone with the RX and ES (even NX now) selling what 15-20k a month as your bread and butter but they keep saying we want younger people to buy well **** Lexus younger people don't want an ES or RX. You say we want younger but get rid of V8s. How many younger people and older for that matter go to an auto show and drool over the M5, RS7, RSQ8, or any of those models because look at how cool that would be to own? Will most own it of course not but they have that dream? What's the dream of owing a Lexus anymore? A hybrid that gets 40 miles to the gallon? A soccer moms RX? A near retirement male ES? And not bashing those cars at all. They are great cars in their own right but that's not exciting. My father in law owns an SLS, RS7, and an S4. I walk into his garage and he more cars there than Lexus has in their entire lineup of just fun cars! There's an M, AMG, S or RS model for every model in the Germans and we can't even have 1 second generation F model? I'm just baffled, saddened, and disgusted with what Lexus is doing. I've typed more messages in the last few days than I had in months and I feel like I'm breaking up with a girlfriend right now with the constant negative messages but damn the excitement I've had for as long as I can remember is gone. Lexus truly you have failed us on some many levels.
