    Congrats! Got my 2015 IS350 F Sport in the same colour combination and the novelty never wears off, instead it gets even better over time. Happy mileage :)

    FINALLY the long overdue 6-cylinder forced induction engine is on the horizon! Can't wait for it to make its way into the rest of the lineup, especially the RC...

    Photo Gallery: The Lexus LF-C2 Convertible Concept in Dubai

    It feels to me like we're seeing more of the LF-C2 of late. Could it be that the long overdue next Lexus convertible will be announced at the LA Auto Show this year, in RC guise perhaps?

    2018 LS Master Thread (Debuts 1/9/17 8:30am -2017 NAIAS)

    The smaller engine option is good news indeed. Wish it were an LS300t trademark instead though. Considering the underwhelming power to weight ratio in the RC350, what are your opinions on this aspect of an LS350?

    Lexus August 2016 Sales Report

    Although I love my IS350, it's been time for a 300t since before the 200t already..!

    CAR Comparison: The Lexus RX 450h vs. Volvo XC90 vs. Audi Q7

    ~ 5,500 km's later, including a week-long trip driving only on beach sand in Mozambique, I cannot recommend the new RX450h highly enough!

    Rumor: Lexus LC F Coming in 2019?

    There is nothing wrong with the current 5.0l V8, in fact it's an amazing engine. We'll have it in the LC500 though. The LC F needs to boast more than a couple of horsepower increment over the non-F model. The twin turbocharged, 500 cc per cylinder, configuration seems to work well. As such my...

    Rumor: Lexus LC F Coming in 2019?

    I concur and have my bets on the LC F boasting a 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 configuration similar to the current V8 AMG (which feels and sounds incredible).

    New Interview with Lexus LC Chief Engineer Koji Sato

    I'm not familiar with the FOS event. Are times recorded for the different vehicles doing the hill climb? Will there be more info / experience sharing about how the LC actually climbed the hill?

    Updated Lexus IS Debuts at Beijing Auto Show

    It does look like their timeline only spans to 2019 though and that everything is crammed into that column ;p Anyway, the site makes for interesting forecasts. Perhaps worth comparing with other vehicle manufacturers to see how accurately it lines up...

    Updated Lexus IS Debuts at Beijing Auto Show

    That site is only indicative of course, but I've found it to be mostly accurate in the past. It was accurate for the IS refresh that we just witnessed on Monday :) I don't see an LS reference in 2019 in the screenshot. Is there one on the site now?

    Updated Lexus IS Debuts at Beijing Auto Show

    The pity for us in South Africa is that no F models (neither RC F nor GS F) are for sale in our market. Since the previous IS F was sold here, there is some faint hope that a new IS F would make its way onto our dealership floors. That said, as much as I'm hoping for an IS F, it probably...

    Updated Lexus IS Debuts at Beijing Auto Show

    The addition of a 300t engine will do the brand well, especially for those comparing to turbo-charged German alternatives.
