    Lexus Shakes Up F SPORT Brand

    "F models will be further upgraded with innovative components developed for the racetrack, including upgraded brakes, advanced aerodynamics and lightweight materials." No mention of powertrain...? Only "components" So technically an IS F is the IS 500 with the with upgraded brakes, advanced...

    IS 500 F SPORT Performance Megathread

    FINALLY. After YEARS of disappointment from Toyota/Lexus, it feels DAMN GOOD to know that tomorrow will put an end to that disappointment. Regardless of powertrain, 2UR or not, Lexus is finally addressing the main issue with marketing F-Sport and that's great news.

    No V8 Engines for Future Lexus Models

    I have seriously tapered my expectations when it comes to Lexus so I can't say I am surprised by the news. I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I read the headline and laughed as this kind of confirms to me the suspicion that I have had for the past few years that there is indeed a very...

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    Can anyone confirm that Lexus has a Single Turbo V6 on the way? (I haven't read up on upcoming engines) Some guy says that Lexus may be re-designating their models using the following: IS 300 = 2.0L Turbo I4 IS 350 = 2.4L Turbo I4 IS 500 = 3.2L Turbo V6 or Mazda I6 and when naming nomenclature...

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    Honestly Lexus needs to reassess their Executives/Board Members etc. I am convinced one, or maybe even more, are just plain out of touch. I'm all kinds of confused. Who is this low volume selling IS 500 aimed at exactly? The most hardcore Lexus Enthusiast? Whelp if that's the case, I am pretty...

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    The reveal seems to be about what I expected and admittedly I have not read the entire press release in full because honestly I don't really care to read what Lexus is trying to hype justifying boring cars in general. The lead designer for this 3.5 and 1/3 IS is clearly the same person who did...

    The Future of the IS Thread

    I think I am going to start keeping a scorecard for how many of these rumors Mag-X gets right... In recent memory, I can't think of the last time a Mag-X rumor has been correct outside of predicting what a car will look like 3 months before it is released. For the time being, as soon as I see...

    Lexus to Redesign Entire Lineup Over Next Five Years?

    After that whole Yacht thing... I always laugh whenever I hear Lexus wants to add new models to the line-up. Enthusiasts start to imagine RWD CUVs, Mid-Engine Sportscars, and that 2nd Gen LFA, that exciting stuff. But in reality Lexus means Organic Jetpacks, Magnetic Hoverboards, and...

    Lexus Planning New Coupe Between RC & LC?

    Lexus still needs to co-develop a sports car with Mitsubishi. This Platform will be spun off into the EVO 11 Sedan and the new Lexus Coupe. I kid, I kid. I'm still salty from the previous news.

    Next-Generation Lexus RC Coupe to Use Mazda Platform & Engine?

    The GT-R is long in the tooth. Is the 2nd Gen LC/LC F and the next GT-R going to be shared, too? Let's do a mid-engine LFA and collaborate with Honda while we're at it! (That wide body LFA has been spotted lately testing on the 'Ring.) In all seriousness. Toyota news has been disappointing as...

    1st Generation Lexus RC 300, 350, F and Track Edition Megathread

    That recent LFA Prototype has camouflage in similar areas, this updated RC F GT prototype seems to have that same widebody treatment on it... Combined with that fixed wing... Lexus RC F Nürburgring Edition? Couldn't Be... Could it?

    Lexus Discontinues GS Sedan in Europe

    I too am saddened by this news, but part of me is optimistic to see what Lexus is planning to fill this void left by the departing GS. I really like the way "Lexus RS F" sounds. Perhaps this should be the nameplate of the 4-Door coupe?

    Lexus LF-1 Limitless Concept Megathread [LF Coming in 2023?]

    I've never been excited for a crossover... UNTIL NOW! (Didn't see this coming from Lexus, I am genuinely surprised.)

    Lexus to Cancel CT in Favor of Sub-Compact Crossover?

    My prediction one year ago, it's close enough. Sad to see the CT go, but the UX falls under that crossover category, and those are all the craze in America, so I understand why they chose to axe the CT. Toyota and Lexus will seemingly always limit their total number of cars, because they don't...

    Lexus Announces LC 500 & LC 500h Pricing

    Just noticed the Lexus LC US configurator WAS up, but I can't seem to find it on the page anymore. Anyhow, you can still see the packages and prices. I noticed it has a different stock wheel, which I think looks way better than what was on the car show circuit, and it's the only option as of...

    5th Generation (2018+) Lexus LS 500 & LS 500h Megathread

    Where's the new LS that's suppose to debut, it's suppose to look like the LF-LC? This is the LS that was suppose to be shown at the 2012 NAIAS. What is so bold about this LS? Lexus has lost it's way since the very first model to feature the F-Mesh Grille, the 3rd Gen IS F Sport, now they seem...

    Rumor: Lexus LC F Coming in 2019?

    BMW M and Merc-AMG are subsidiaries (Actual Companies) under their respect parent companies. The F Marque is a model designation, it's not a company under LEXUS. Yeah there is a head engineer for the F cars etc... and we get the 5.0L V8, (which clearly isn't exclusive to F's anymore) but I feel...
