    Joe_my, with all due respect Lexus has been on the market for 25 years, BMW, Mercedes and co. have a century of heritage and are chasing volume as its their core business. Toyota's high volumes mean Lexus has go some independence and freedom to pursuit its own goals and if that means quality...

    No Plans to Build Lexus Vehicles in China

    I guess quality is one of Lexus' convenient excuses not to build its cars in China, but my guess is that Lexus simply does not want to share its hybrid know how with a 50% local joint venture partner as the Chinese government only allow foreign manufacturers to produce locally via partnerships...

    Video: Fifth Gear Reviews the Lexus NX 300h F SPORT

    What's perplexing to me is why do these "so called automotive journo's" take a crossover/SUV model to the track like its a Caterham 7 or something. I wish journalists were not all sheep and followed the same pattern of reviewing Lexus vehicles with their CVT-negative bias. Let's face it, the NX...

    Lexus September 2015 Sales Report

    QUALITY is the motto , volume is great but as long as the quality remains the main focus I wouldn't worry to much. Considering how many more models MERC/BMW and co. have in their lineup its not surprising Lexus have fallen behind. Where the Germans do well are niche segments offering...

    Lexus RC 200t and RC 300 AWD Added to Lexus Lineup for 2016

    Surprised no one commented on the similar power output of these 2 engine options 255 -241 hp respectively. The V6 should be way more powerful than that otherwise what's the point?

    This is exactlty the kind of sporty wagon Lexus should build for Europe , but sadly its not going to happen .... even Toyota would benefit hugely from a sexier lifestyle orientated estate/shooting brake model like this Kia!

    RC-F love it or hate it?

    This is a no brainer for me, the RC F looks like a mean fighting machine and obliterates the rather dull German competitors. Lexus has to be complimented on its bold brave design langauge, the company is finally setting itself apart from other premium rivals with its own unique style and hybrid...

    Jeremy Clarkson to Drive Lexus RC F in Next Top Gear Episode

    There does seem to be a pattern on the majority of the RC F reviews mainly criticizing the cars weight and lack of track thrills, but on the road it redeems itself. What I actually would like to know is how many RC F owners would actually take their beloved RC F to the track wouldn't Caterham...
