Official Lexus Future Product & Powertrain Megathread

[Levi]

Not sure if people are interested in more luxurious TX but without the space.

RX?

I'd love to be wrong, but that rumor seems too good to be true and there have been many things lost in translation between Japanese and English before. I'll believe it when there is more official confirmation from Toyota.

Exactly. And it wouldn't be the first time they bait and switched a V8 in the past decade.

Lexus could relegate its AMG rival to a steering wheel button | Drive

The F badge isn't being forgotten, but the days of standalone performance Lexus models to challenge AMG may be over.

Hmmm...

How about "F" Mode for "**** You I'm Buying A Bentley Instead" Mode.

We get "time attack" clown GR models of fucking mediocre BEVs but the entirety of "F" gets paired down to a sport mode button.

 

[Kelvin2020]

What the F…

 

[Gor134]

Yeah so F is basically dead

 

[b.ba]

For some reason this feels more disrespectful than if they didn't do anything at all

 

[spwolf]

I wonder what Lexus platform would you put future F model on?

It does not exist.

 

[Gor134]

"what does F stand for on this button in my ES500e"
"Oh F is from our performance line of models and racecars"
"what F performance models or race cars do you guys have?"
"nothing..."

 

[Levi]

Well, so finally Lexus F is dead too……

 

[CRSKTN]

"what does F stand for on this button in my ES500e"
"Oh F is from our performance line of models and racecars"
"what F performance models or race cars do you guys have?"
"Well no that's called GR."

Fixed that for you to be even more confusing.

I'm glad they didn't even bother to give it any sort of "F" design or font treatment.

 

[Gor134]

TRUE

 

[LCLFV]

F may be dead, but hey, Scion is back! Just what everyone asked for!

Lmao. Mark and Kevin are already tearing Lexus apart for how pathetically they've been sliding downhill. Not surprised to see them calling out Lexus for being barely a better Toyota. Seriously, are those execs still stuck in the past, riding on past glory and convincing themselves they’re killing it?

 

[LCLFV]

Wish Mark was better informed that luxury vans is already a huge competitive market in Asia and nothing really new, and Lexus has been competing in that space with the LM for some time now. These are vehicles that will likely never be sold in North America and so are pretty irrelevant to his talking points about the brand somehow differentiating itself in that regard here with the "luxury space" fluff.

Lexus’s problems aren’t something a couple of good new models can fix anymore. The real issue comes from Toyota itself. So even if they roll out the LFR or the GR GT, I don’t see it bringing any meaningful change to the brand. As long as Akio is still running the show, it really doesn’t matter how many cars they launch, nothing is going to fundamentally improve.
