Yea man, big shoutout to all the boomers and aunties out there - they contributed so many RX, NX, TXs that we’ll probably never see an LS, GS, RC, ISF, GSF, RCF, LCF, LSF, or LF1 ever again. Apparently, Lexus Japan thinks just churning out RX, NX, and TX is enough to sit back and rake it in while doing absolutely nothing risky. Like, who needs innovation anyway? Gotta be straight up brain-dead to pull a stunt that actually puts the company in danger.

at some point you have to realize that the buyers of RX are not the problem, problem is people did not buy GS, LS, RC and IS in enough numbers.

Sure, also that they were not good enough to be bought it big numbers.

But apparently NX/RX/UX/etc are.

They could really need an ES600e FSP model. Not having any F-Sport variant is stupid because it has like 30% take-rate across the brand. I also hope they add better suspension options like the bZ7's air springs with MagneRide. I think rear-wheel steering is available on the 500e?
