I understand its fun to bash lexus here but this car was made with the China market in mind like the LX was made for the middle east in mind (and Lexus did contract supercarblondie to do the LX reveal since its sold internationally). China doesn't have youtube, they banned it. They have their...

I understand the internet loves to nitpick everything and for the amount of hate that Lexus reveals/updates get before the real thing comes out is just the typical circus that will come and go with the inevitable; "well the design is growing on me". The people putting down 110k for the LC...

Guess somebody learned absolutely nothing from living in a dictatorship. Mandates may be ok to you (as long as they're the ones you like of course :unsure:) but they're quite literally the opposite from moral.

Chinese actor/star Huang Xiao Ming spotted putting his wife in an white Alphard and his Black LM awaiting him. LM news has been quiet but it at least we know VIPs are using it in China and I suppose coming soon in Malaysia.

Behind the scenes look of Black Panther King T'Challa's LC500.

IS concept drawing

Time and time again it is proven that however Lexus is perceived by "enthusiasts" is not the way it is perceived by general consumers, no matter how many anecdotes ("well all of my friends aren't happy with x,y,z...") are applied.

I did consider if I had to clarify in my post that the LC is a GT but I didn't think you'd be petty enough to point that out from all of the relevant points I made in my post. Too bad I was wrong about you. And none of this hides the massive contradiction you just made.

You made that list, not me. I asked for the business case for Lexus to compete in the segments you listed when those are not sales drivers for Lexus' competitors. Was I wrong? Are those segments sales drivers for MB/BMW? Where are the numbers? We all clearly know they aren't, maybe Lexus...

Literally none of these on your list are drivers of sales for Mercedes or BMW. So where is the business case for Lexus to jump the gun and dive into these segments? I want more Lexus models like everyone else. I have tempered my expectations. Wild adventures in model diversity is not always...

Thanks and yes I do agree with a lot of what you say too. Dramatics? I agree! You saying Lexus may lose 200k IS units of sales and hundreds of millions of dollars as a complete hypothetical, literally one day after it's global launch, is not rooted in reality whatsoever and sounds quite...

You can't have it any more backwards. Your post is the exact reason why BMW and MB can sell with lower reliability and interior quality, than Lexus, while Lexus provides value contrasted to those brands, more bang for the buck. Since the 1LS, Lexus has since moved up in brand power and...

This is the massive disconnect between enthusiast and actual mass market consumers, which ultimately make up the overwhelming majority of buyers/owners. General buyers don't care if there is a new engine, they care if the numbers match up generally with whatever else they're cross shopping...

6 years later and the rendering doesn't look as good as the outgoing model? No way its going to look like that.

If what you really wanted was the LF-1, the obvious answer would be to ask dealer for lease extension. From a sales perspective, Lexus doesn't need to match BMW in the number/variety of SUVs. Yes the LF1 is needed but the in-betweener strategy is a model that Lexus can skip with confidence.

Very good news, can't wait for it. If the design is anything close to the concept as the LC was, it surely won't disappoint. I'd like to remind @Gecko that we need to remove our biases against Lexus and just step back to see a bigger perspective of whats going on. I know its frustrating to...

Sometimes if nobody else is doing something, it might be a good idea to get to that space first. Sometimes nobody is in the space for a reason. Mercedes tried this segment with the R-class, the execution was ok and it only lasted 7 years (a full cycle) and died. The X-class launched in 2017...

Totally understandable, I'm sure the Gazoo team is just as disappointed as we all are. I doubt its going to stall development, they can race this car in Japan 24/7 if they wanted to, and with what we've seen so far, the LC F and Gazoo Racing variant has been testing. There was a video of the...

Let me ruffle the feathers a little here. The LC concept premiered NAIAS 2012 and they premiered the production model 4 years later at Detroit 2016. The LF-1 Limitless premiered at Detroit 2018. "Nowhere in sight?" yes, in 2014 the LC500 was also nowhere in sight. The doom and gloom bias is...

I'd like to make it clear that I don't mind people saying whatever they want, the mod edits have nothing to do with me. People who cannot control their tempers easily discredit themselves whether it be about harming Lexus execs or other members. We have to remember this is the internet, there...
