    Lexus Trademarks GX 400 in Japan

    I own an 08 GX 470. It's got over 150k on the clock and figured it was time to move on especially because the rear A/C system has failed and will cost me near 3 grand as the Lexus dealer quoted me. I went to look at a 2014 GX and was incredibly disappointed. The car I sat in felt hilariously...

    Innovation: anything new?

    One thing Lexus will always have, maybe as a fallback I guess is reliability and build quality.

    Innovation: anything new?

    I do agree with this "calm before the storm" idea, I think they've gone quiet while they have built up so much and will release everything (the "storm") upon us, I pray we get some form of autonomous driving, parking, massaging seats all around, (something I experienced in an S-Class and have...

    Innovation: anything new?

    The hydrogen fuel cell brings up an interesting point as well: why is Lexus or Toyota in general so reluctant to make an electric vehicle (Rav4 EV and Prius Plug-in doesn't count). Toyota is, I feel, actually trying to avoid EVs at all cost by going as far as to produce something much more...

    Innovation: anything new?

    I stopped to think about it today: what has Lexus done that's big since the LFA, which really wasn't a showcase of technology, just clever engineering (tremendous car by the way), and the 2007 LS (because the 07 and 13 are exactly the same (which by the way was pretty much outdated nearly...

    What Will the Next-Generation Lexus CT Look Like?

    I couldn't agree with you more, my biggest issue with the LS is how it looks a bit out of line in comparison with the S-Class (which is my favorite car in the class). The S-Class looks so stately and like a truly elegant, royal luxury vehicle, and I especially love the hood ornament.

    Lexus Introduces LC 500 Flagship Coupe at Detroit Auto Show

    A couple years ago when Lexus said it would be 98% like the concept, they clearly weren't kidding. This damn thing is gorgeous. Still can't believe they built it. Can someone render one in black?

    New Lexus Vehicle to Debut Next Week at Detroit Auto Show

    That is the coolest thing I've heard, like how did you pick that out from that!?!

    Initial 2016 Lexus LX Orders in Japan Exceed Three Year Sales Goal

    With the LX finally where it should be, they can focus more on the GX make it a bigger threat to the GL and others, the GX has already surpassed original sales expectations as it sits, imagine a redesign (which it's almost due for) where it was lighter, faster, roomier, more advanced, and more...

    Lexus RC F Competes in Annual Car & Driver Lightning Lap

    I understand... but Lexus could just do a thing or two to the RCF and it would be magical, if I were in the market it would either be a C63 or RCF. To credit others, Mercedes or really any German car manafacturer is very overrated, especially the whole "German engineering" junk. Also what other...

    Lexus RC F Competes in Annual Car & Driver Lightning Lap

    Fair enough, it's just Lexus isn't as keen with sports cars as the Germans, although they have more than proved their point with the LFA. If the RCF was just lighter, all it has to be is lighter! It would be absolutely fantastic. I also think people are rough on its design, I quite like it, in...

    2016 Lexus RX Now Arriving at USA Dealerships

    At Lexus just a few hours ago for my GX's service and they had server all parked right out front, the lady said they just got off the truck a few hours prior to my arrival and let me say it looks great in person, everything feels so familiar yet so new. It really is a good change. Not bad

    Lexus RC F Competes in Annual Car & Driver Lightning Lap

    God I love Lexus, but man the RCF really is a joke. There is no logical reason as to why anyone should buy the RCF over say a Mercedes Benz C63 AMG... Which I love, and although I do however hate BMW, the M4/M3 is a better vehicle also. The only reason really is that Lexus makes a reliable...

    Introducing the Lexus LF-FC Flagship Concept

    My hairs are standing up, I'm so excited, never been this thrilled for a Lexus concept ever. Cannot wait any longer, hopefully there are no disappointments and I hope to get an idea of the new LS. If this concept goes like the 2005 LS concept, It should be the same car! I thought the release was...

    Lexus & BMW Working on 1,000 Horsepower LFA Successor?

    Love your thinking, whatever happens, Lexus should make it independently (not with BMW), if anyone, why not with the nutters at Mercedes AMG (my second favorite car brand). Mercedes Benz adds the german touch (technology, innovation) and Lexus builds it (legendary reliability and build quality)...

    Lexus & BMW Working on 1,000 Horsepower LFA Successor?

    Lexus should honor the LFA, no one else should have their paws on the project but Lexus. If Lexus did so perfectly well with the first one, they can do it again with the second one, or can they? as said by Jeremy Clarkson. Maybe it's so special they can't make it again. Even if Lexus can, should...

    Did anyone else notice the car at the end of the video, new LS teaser? A new concept, another redesign, production version of concept?

    What is Lexus Planning for the Next-Generation LS?

    I love Lexus, I really do. The three biggest cars for them have been the LS, RX and LFA. But we're here to talk about the LS, and the first one and the fourth generation were the most important, the first gen obviously launched Lexus, it was their first vehicle, but the fourth gen was a huge...
