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

    I really hope the new tech isn't hand gesture control, I have never encountered anything so pointless that so many car companies have jumped on a must have scenario. Voice control is better but still many people don't use as trying to remember the exact commands needed is a challenge. First...

    This helps explain the issues imo: http://evobsession.com/hydrogen-cars-vs-electric-cars-detailed-comparison-efficiency/ And: http://evobsession.com/hydrogen-fuel-cell-cars-fail-in-depth/ It's a real shame as I would SO love a Lexus equiv of a Tesla.

    Report: Lexus Fully Committed to Fuel Cell Vehicles

    I just can't get behind fuel cell at the moment, there are just some things that don't make sense: Infrastructure - electricity is everywhere, you can charge at home, fast chargers on longer routes, of course is means a lack of control for the people wanting to maintain fuel stations and tax...

    Lexus CT Lexus CT Owner Blog: Thoughts on Infotainment

    Have always thought the weakest area for Lexus cars is the infotainment, I was so happy to hear of the launch of Apple CarPlay and so dissapointed when Lexus weren't going to introduce it - it is actually enough to make me look at other cars. The beauty of a system like Apple CarPlay is...

    Chris Harris Slams Lexus F Performance Brand

    The only people who have 'got' the F brand are the normal people who have tested them, Lexus set out to create a car that a normal (read not highly skilled driver) could still drive fast. I would love to see a test of some normal people doing back to back RC F / M4 drives and see the times...
