What happened to the LFA?! Arguably one of the best, if not the best, car in their 30 year lineage. Hope Lexus hasn't forgotten about it!

One step first closer to confirming my fears - I really hope it's not a rebadge job with some tarting up on the inside. It needs a quintessentially Lexus design inside out. If this turns out to be a rebadge, then there'll be Alphard, Vellfire, Lexus LM - are 3 flavours necessary for vans?

Well said. I also think that the tacked on aero kits, whether supplied by TRD or Modellista or whomever else, make Lexus models look a bit boy racer-ish. Not saying they look bad, but the look simply doesn't line up very well with the image of sophistication that Lexus tries so hard to sell. If...

2 things: Given Lexus' desire to not be perceived as expensive Toyotas but as a separate entity, I question the decision to market bodykits for Lexus vehicles with the TRD brand. It would make sense if Lexus didn't have the F marque. But now that F is in its tenth year, more needs to be done to...

That's extinguishes any doubts.

Toyota registering characters that seemingly conform with Lexus nomenclature really says nothing. I would always be careful when speculating. I have mentioned extensively a couple of times on these forums that letter-only registrations have not been used for at least 7 or 8 years now. It's...

Seems to reinforce Lexus' registering the "LM" series trade marks. Not at all surprising, to be honest. Lexus could capitalise on Toyota's expertise in making minivans and people movers. Such a model could be successful in the Asian markets. But the difficulty, in my view, would be for Lexus to...

For those of you who think that LQ relates to any Lexus product, I would strongly advise thinking twice before jumping to conclusions. I posted a long spiel some time ago explaining Toyota's practice of applying for trademarks. Just because something looks vaguely suspicious, does not mean that...

Are we likely to see a new (facelifted) version of the RC F soon? This special edition comes with a 10.3 inch screen - hint much?

This new LS is a technological smorgasbord. But whilst it's a marvel, I feel like it's not category-revolutionary/-revolutionising like the original LS was. Still there is no denying that it's the pinnacle of luxury in its class (IMO).

If you watch the cameo shot of the NX Hybrid very carefully and compare the front grille with the European press images, you'll notice that North America will get a different design yet again.

On the design front, I'd like to know why there was such a departure from the LF-FC. Is the footwell of the rear bench really that expansive that Lexus could make do without a standard wheelbase and long wheelbase distinction. And on the mechanical front, I'm interested in what the power...

What's the source of that pic?

I really do hope that North America doesn't get an ugly non-F-Sport grille like the pre-facelifted version. I live in outside of the US, so I'm used to seeing the other version. Gotta admit, the pictures make the old one look ugly enough. Don't know how bad it'd look in real life. But I do think...

Curious to see what cosmetic differences there'll be. The current grille is already rather aggressive looking. Perhaps the only difference would be the duplicated "F" mesh pattern. Knowing Lexus, F-Sport is pretty much just a cosmetic package with different suspension tune. They're highly...

One of my favourite ads by Lexus of recent times is one entitled "To Err is Human". I love its concept and execution.

Great move. But those new engines will be in production for yet another two decades.

If the next-gen CT comes in hatch and crossover/SUV, they'll be going down the same path as Infiniti with their Q30 and QX30. For me, the Q and QX distinction is arbitrary and I'd hate to see Lexus go down the same lazy path. I hope that when these rumours say the next CT will come in hatchback...

The LC is so amazing. But there is one thing about it that really troubles me. This video really sums it up. The shape of the car is so darn sexy that I've given it a female gender attribute. But its voice -- the roar of that 5.0L V8 -- sounds so aggressively masculine that it's affecting me...

Call it what you like. But it's a joke of a modification. Does not retain the inherent Lexusness.
