    Introducing the 2024 Lexus TX

    Hey guys, don`t bash it! It is based on the TNGA kit, and as there is already the grand highlander, what did you expect? That this thing wasnt going to be the enthusiasts mega thing, but a family car that Toyota wants to cash in on was clear from the beginning. Its got decent engines, lots of...

    Toyota BZ4X

    Range and ease of use never was high on the priority list for electric car customers anyway, or else there wouldn't be an electric car. The bz4x doesn't sell because it is an ugly yet expensive car, has a meh-meh infotainment system and loses out on 0-60 car-comparo specs. And Toyota isn't...

    Official Lexus Future Product & Powertrain Megathread

    What they say they will do, and what the customers will really buy in a couple of years may very well differ a lot. You will get the market very quickly to 60% or maybe even 70% EVs. But not all people will buy an EV. Some people still use landline phones and internet connections. Some people...

    European Sales: Lexus Outsells Porsche in January

    "Europe" sales numbers of TMC include Russia and Turkey. There they sell great. In western Europe, the only part of the world called "Europe" (not Russia for F.... sake) Lexus doesn't do so great. And anything especially designed for Europe will hardly make any impact (like the CT). Edit from...

    1st Generation Lexus RC 300, 350, F and Track Edition Megathread

    It will be 473 hp. 472 hp would be too little bump. They will not put engineering hours in an engine, that will be built like maybe five pieces a month, for a twelve month production run. The car will be stripped of amenities, a little carbon fiber panels here and there and thats it. Still it...

    Lexus Considers Trimming USA Vehicle Lineup

    They made the RC chassis as heavy as it is because they thought they would make a convertible. Now they made the LC 300lbs heavier than necessary, because it should have had a convertible variant. For the future. Please don't think about convertibles. Just make the cars 300lbs lighter. End of...

    Lexus Serious about Manufacturing Vehicles in China

    This is easily explained. The 1.2T costs more to build than the 2.0 NA.

    Lexus Considers Move Back to Touchscreen Interfaces

    Touchscreen is way faster to use. The RTI is really slow and distracts more. Taking the finger and pointing somwhere goes quite easy as everybody knows where his finger is at the moment. When using the RTI, you have to look for the cursor on the screen and then move it. If you look back on...

    The Future of the IS Thread

    There is no source on this. Just two indicators: 1. New key engine technology will not be released in an entry segment with diminishing sales. They will stick to what they had developped for other cars. So Camry engine, ES engine... 2. Speculation in this forum: Never ever were any of the...

    The Future of the IS Thread

    The next IS will debute with the 2,5 inline 4 with the multistage gearbox. The 2,0 turbo and the 3,5v6 from the camry. End of story... There will be no twin turbo stuff in a volume model.

    Rumor: Lexus Moving Forward with Production City Car?

    Oh boy. The BMW 1,5 3-banger is a real bad engine. Noisy, rough, not very frugal and extremely unreliable. Really unreliable. Like real sh.. design.
