For sure, that was definitely a stretch. Toyota paid BMW to test the GR Supra on the roads with other BMW models (as well as Minis and Rolls Royces) and for BMW to send data back to Japan. Toyota would then ask BMW to make changes to the car while they were cold and stress testing the cars. So...
Hm... given how we had a handful of engineers/insiders from Japan/Europe saying otherwise, I wonder who these individuals were that said this?
I mean at this point the car is out for a couple of years, people who are butt-hurt about it will still remain butt-hurt about the B58.
In terms of...
To be fair Toyota did a lot of work in terms of giving engineering feedback to BMW and Toyota ended up making their own tweaks to the engine. The end product was quite significant in terms of how special the engine was. As for the GR Supra itself, well, it doesn't drive all that similar to the...
I'm not holding my breath for Lexus to be doing a lot of work on F in the near future to be honest.

I was at an auto show two days ago and I was speaking to the Lexus marketing guys and they mentioned that the LX should have some upgrades for the 2025 model year (pano sunroof, some upgrades to the chassis, and a more spruced up interior. I'm not sure how true this is though.
As for the...
I like what everyone is saying here and I do hope the SUVs get revised and we get (perhaps two?) new ones to cover different segments, but let's just stop for a few seconds and realize that Lexus has basically become a SUV company at this point.
Where this effort for the IS? ES? LS? RC? LC? GS...
Very fair review of the car. It's an insane little rocket, but Toyota has a lot of improving to do in terms of beefing the car up further to take more abuse.
I'm happy we are actively rooting for Infiniti to give Lexus a good ass-whooping. As not only that will help Infiniti, but will encourage Lexus to do better as well. Mind you, the LX is an excellent product, but it can do so much better.
