    Trade in the GX460 for ......

    I think you misunderstood me, I'm not saying piano black doesn't look good. I'm saying piano black in combination with the other inlay on a Q7 interior doesn't look good. It has nothing to do with what's modern or trendy it has everything to do with what looks good on the car.

    Trade in the GX460 for ......

    I personally don't like the wood trim combinations the USA choose for the Q7 (ie the piano black). In Canada we offer brushed aluminum where the USA has piano black trim.

    Trade in the GX460 for ......

    I would disagree with that.... Again I'm not sure about maintenance plans in the US but in Canada we have Audi Care which is a pre-paid maintenance plan is a significant discount vs. paying at dealer and also covers other items.

    Trade in the GX460 for ......

    The 2.0T can also tow 7700lbs!!! I'm not sure how the USA offers the vehicle but in Canada we have 19" and 20" with run flats (21" you can't get in a run flat) This has helped our customer with that piece of mind. The reason for the no spare is the 7 passenger as standard in North America. We...

    Trade in the GX460 for ......

    Thanks Mike for calling me out......lol So a little background on me, I used to be the Product planner for Lexus Canada for all passenger vehicles and for the last 2 years I've been the product manager for Audi Canada on A6, A7, A8, Q7 and Audi exclusive. Though I think Lexus makes a great...

    Lexus GS F Thoughts on GSF

    Audi's Sport Differential with quattro has a true torque vectoring differential in the rear axle and a self locking center differential (torsen type) to distribute power from front to back. The front axel has an open differential with Electronic Differential Lock and uses brake torque vectoring...

    Am I the only one that thinks this kit is hideous?

    Photos: The Lexus GS F in the Sonoran Desert

    Looks great. I like the front much better than the Regular GS, much cleaner.

    New Rumors on the Next-Generation Lexus CT

    Let's face it the CT is a hatch and a hybrid. 1) hatchbacks don't sell in USA 2) Hybrids don't sell in Europe The move to come out with a "crossover" CT, shouldn't be any surprise to anyone and I would be surprised if there was no gas version, at least for Europe.

    New Rumors on the Next-Generation Lexus CT

    I don't think this would be a GLC competitor, it'd be more like a GLA competitor. I think the new RX sits in between the GLC and GLE or the X5 and X6 and a crossover version of the CT (lets call it a CX) would be in a smaller/lower segment.

    The Lexus Hoverboard Revealed

    So from what I remember from my thermodynamic class back in the day the super needs to be super cooled for it to hover over magnets. So basically on a hover board this would probably last no more than a couple of minutes.... Looks cool though I guess.....

    Lexus USA Announces 2016 IS Sedan with Three Engine Options

    Like I said still not an excuse. In most markets globally, Lexus does not have the brand prestige levels of the German, so as long as Lexus continues to make decisions on "no one cares about that" then they will never be considered on par. I've owned BMW's, Mercedes, Audi's and Lexus'. I agree...

    Lexus USA Announces 2016 IS Sedan with Three Engine Options

    You're probably right that no one thinks of the engine bay as a purchase reason, but that's still not an excuse. Part of owning a luxury car is attention to details. Things that you wouldn't have thought about. When you are a proud owner its those fine details you point out to your friends...

    Lexus USA Announces 2016 IS Sedan with Three Engine Options

    From my understanding, the 350 RWD will have the 8 speed and the AWD will continue to have the 6 speed..... Status quo!

    Video: Listen to the Lexus GS F's 467 Horsepower V8 Engine

    Maybe you are right, I hope Lexus can hit a home run with this car. However, I don't think Lexus ever intended the GSF to be a high volume vehicle (and I don't think it'll be priced to be), I think the intention is to be a halo 4 door sedan for the brand. That I think we can all agree on. My...

    Video: Listen to the Lexus GS F's 467 Horsepower V8 Engine

    Alcantara around the gauge cluster. Nice touch. Just wish it was at the 500hp mark. Let's face it, to a buyer in this segment, it'll matter

    Lexus LF-LC Coupe to Have Twin-Turbo 600+ Horsepower V8 Engine?

    I agree.... LC just follows the normal Lexus naming convention. L = Luxury C = Coupe They want this car to line up with the LS and be that Luxury Halo vehicle and that's how they're naming it. Simple.
