    Lexus Vehicles to Go Full-Electric by 2030

    His point was that the entire energy infrastructure in Japan is not equipped for this (as in most other countries). This is called 'advancing insight' that they will go full EV after all, albeit 5 years later than their main Lexus regions. Indeed, Lexus's market share won't be that big, all the...

    Lexus Vehicles to Go Full-Electric by 2030

    Will Lexus make other cars for Japan? Just asking because Japan is missing from their "full battery-electric" plan. Wasn't it the big boss of Toyota, who a few months ago was convinced that electric driving was not the future? Apparently it was impossible, in Japan, to generate enough...

    4th Generation Lexus LX (LX 600, LX 700h) Megathread

    You asked for it: is actually more of a truck than a car, isn't it? In Europe we are not waiting for this, fortunately. And an 'h' or an 'e' version would probably be ridiculous, wouldn't it? Sorry, but I'll skip this one.

    2nd Generation (2022+) Lexus NX Megathread (NX 200, 250, 350, 350h and 450h+)

    I also noticed that Lexus accelerates towards electrification (LF-Z), but not today (except UXe). We'll see in a few years what it will be. But the sales pitch that the range of 35 miles is sufficient for the daily use, we also had that here (is also very little, to work and back home, you'd...

    2nd Generation (2022+) Lexus NX Megathread (NX 200, 250, 350, 350h and 450h+)

    Let's start by congratulating Lexus on this 100% successful NX, both inside and out, perfectly fine! Only I think this version should have been there 2 or 3 years ago. The infotainment system has been an issue at Lexus for years, so this update was more than necessary. And the plug-in option...

    2nd Generation (2022+) Lexus NX Megathread (NX 200, 250, 350, 350h and 450h+)

    ...they are not really Lexus or ... competition, You see this wrong, especially if we look at the EV's (Toyota/Lexus are behind this anyway). We're not talking about the photos or the overall quality ...

    2nd Generation (2022+) Lexus NX Megathread (NX 200, 250, 350, 350h and 450h+)

    And yet.... looking for an EV, I think the KIA EV6 GT is one of the better choices. Until today, on June 12th maybe different... 😉

    Lexus March 2021 Sales Report

    A small mistake, I think: in the Month table, I see "2010", shouldn't it be 2020?

    Introducing the Lexus LF-Z Electrified Concept

    Is this called a crossover coupe? I don't see the coupe. Looks more like a lifted sedan to me. Not a fan.

    Introducing the Lexus IS 500 Launch Edition

    That's very good news to hear! And clearly a different strategy from Lexus, which can only result in something beautiful. Good job, Mike!

    Introducing the Lexus IS 500 Launch Edition

    Probably the most beautiful Lexus ever made, and the color is currently hot (first saw this on an Audi)... Damn it, not available in Europe

    2nd Generation (2022+) Lexus NX Megathread (NX 200, 250, 350, 350h and 450h+)

    Maybe it is available as a screen saver on that beautiful display? Satisfied?

    Lexus Enthusiast Exclusive: Why Isn’t The IS 500 Called "IS F"?

    Great ! But not for me (Europe) ?! Ask this to Lexus.

    Updated Lexus IS Sedan Features in New Advertising Campaign

    Interesting photo of the IS, just look good in the background, aren't those 4 new models?

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    The ES300h too long? I didn't think so, in Europe there are other (nicer) choices, that's the reason. And as for the RC: I sometimes come across one, no problem for me, that makes mine all the more unique ... You were just talking about sedans here, right?

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    Probably the most beautiful version of the IS. Probably, because we first have to see it in real life, but that may take a while, I live in Europe .... 😢

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    In short, the (current) CO2 value of the IS (130, WTLP) is no reason not to bring it to Europe. Knowing that CO2 value is always an average calculation per car brand and that both the UX (120) and the NX (171) are sold more than the IS, then the CO2 influence of the IS will not be decisive. It...

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    I don't think Toyota/Lexus has a plug-in version, but they are still on the European market. So, I don't think that argument is valid. Beside, those European rules are not just out of the blue, as @Gecko has previously indicated, they could have prepared for this for years. Is just a...

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    Really? No more 'refreshed' IS in Europe? And within a few years the rest of the world. So probably no more RC in the near future? And Lexus is now trying to sell me a (boring) ES? I do not think so. Fortunately, I have no plans to buy a new car and we can only hope that Lexus will surprise us...
