    Lexus Considering Manufacturing in India?

    You would be surprised. Lets not forget that India manages to build better quality roads than the UK or USA in less than half the time. They're building about 25 miles a night. Manpower is absolutely massive and if trained well, I can see it being a huge success. Lexus isn't stupid, it probably...

    Photos: The Lexus LC in New Colors

    From what angle does that look "daark Gray". Shameful when a Lexus forum gets the colour wrong - its actually Caviar!

    Lexus Dominates Auto Express Most Reliable Vehicle List

    Not really. Consumer reports is a magazine on everything from jack all to cars. Autoexpress is purely a car magazine. It only does reviews and news on cars.

    Lexus Releases Image of Upcoming Tokyo Motor Show Concept

    Thats got to be the LS, hood looks too big to be a CT - but then, it may just be the picture! Having said that, my source at Lexus did say that he has seen the new LS at the same time he saw the new RX and GS-F before they were out so its most likely the LS

    The 2016 Lexus GS F: Lexus Enthusiast First Drive Review

    This is the first Lexus which I don't think looks good in White! Definitely red, blue, black or orange! Anything but White! Too much going on and white sort of clashes with the dark wheels, orange calipers etc

    Driving the All-New 2016 Lexus RX

    It's nothing to do with electric assistance. The 450h doesn't have a conventional gearbox like those on normal cars. It uses an E-CVT so essentially it's like a scooter (just more complex) where the lower you put your foot down, the faster you go. It does not detect inclines or anything like...

    Lexus RX450h vs Volvo XC90 T8

    My RX F Sport gets 32mpg and it's quoted at 44.8mpg. My wife's IS300H gets 40mpg and that's quoted at 60mpg. Both cars are not driven in an eco friendly way. The Volvo quotes 130+ UK Mpg and only gets 45-60 in real world. That's half the quoted MPG when driven normally!! The Volvo also has a...

    Driving the All-New 2016 Lexus RX

    That my friend is what happens when you try and compare turbo diesels to naturally aspirated petrol engines. Turbo diesels have tonnes of low down torque and run out of puff towards the top end. The naturally aspirated petrol engines build power the higher you go in the Rev range and therefore...

    Lexus RX450h vs Volvo XC90 T8

    Price is a huge factor and the Volvo costs way too much money. Not to mention, fuel economy is half of what is estimated!

    Spy Shots: Three-Row Lexus RX Prototype Spotted in California?

    The only way they can fit a third row in there is to move the 2nd row forward. There's tonnes of legroom in the 2nd row so moving that whole bench forward could create space for a third row. Even then, only kids will fit

    Spy Shots: Three-Row Lexus RX Prototype Spotted in California?

    Nah I call bullshit on this and here are my reasons: 1 - the hood isn't longer. It's exactly the same size. The prototype is at a marginally different angle which makes it look like that. Want proof? Just look at the front grill, you can see more grill on the prototype pic. 2 - the rear...

    Lexus Plus Negotiation-Free Pricing at USA Dealerships

    Not going to work at all. Its the stupidest strategy in a car showroom in all honesty. No-one buys a car unless they feel they're getting a good deal - even if they discount the car by $250 it seems like they've given you a deal and makes you feel like theyve done their most at trying to get...

    Lexus USA Announces 2016 IS Sedan with Three Engine Options

    Comparing apples to pineapples there or what? You can't say "engine bay looks better in the competition" when you're comparing a base IS200T to a C63! That's as stupid as believing hemorrhoids are caused by your ass cheeks chafing. You talk about cheap plastic - go on a BMW forum and look at...
