the new LS is too loooong to be a GS. I would only be satisfied if they offer a SWB+ 4WD version

It’s sad that the 4 debuted NG crowns are FWD models. Rumors have it that there will be more models to come. Actually the full time 4WD on last generation GS was pretty good.

Agreed on the main-stream LS-ES hierarchy planning. Yet GS-IS could try positioning like the BMW 6-Series and 4-series. I know it’s sad but it seems the market is not buying Lexus version of 3 series or 5 series. ES is one of a kind sedan admit it or not.

Lexus GS was one of the most loved lineup for true motorheads and fanboys. Really liked the last generation for its handling and creamy power from the NA 3.5 V6 engine. It was a pity when Lexus discontinued the line for reduced demand in the sector. Now I’m thinking if there will be a chance...

On April 13rd, Pony.AI received the first batch open road autonomous driving test plate in Beijing. The testing zone is said to include 33 independent roads and a 225 square kilometer zone. Pony.AI received $400M from Toyota in 2020 and started to use Lexus RX as autonomous driving test bed...

And do we know if RZ450e is the LF-1 limitless or is it gonna be a smaller one?

So maybe we will witness the return of BEV GS using the new BEV platform that looks like Mirai2?

We all know that Lexus launched UX300e as their first BEV product but it’s still a test water product. I believe the sales is quite moderate - as compared to the BMW i3 when it was launched. But China and EU market is introducing more and more strict rules on emission - especially in China...

It seems back ordering has become a norm for Lexus in China for quite several models, ES and RX are the most note worthy ones with an average of 3month backorders. I’m wondering if it’s similar in the States right now and if Lexus is trying to resolve the issue by increasing production? They...

That’s what I wish. But there is already IWC watches on some Mercedes models for a long time.

A Japanese premium watch maker. The parent company Seiko is one of the largest watch maker in the world. Grand Seiko to Seiko is like Lexus to Toyota.

I’ve always been a big fan for both companies. The Spring drive technology at grand Seiko is actually align with Lexus’s hybrid tech. Both brands are beautifully designed with traditional Japanese traits and cobranding with watch companies are actually quite successful for several brands like...

I’m so proud that this really happened, lol

Talking about PS... how do u like this:

I would counter ur point on Lexus autonomous driving development. In fact they are leading OEMs in terms of autonomous driving technology. The project dates long back when Google offered to co-develop autonomous driving tech with Toyota. But Toyota turned them off favoring its internal team. Now...

Any one thought of a completely autonomous-centric design? Something like the Mercedes autonomous driving concept that emphasis on providing transport other than driving pleasure. The name could stand for Lexury mobility and the moderate displacement can be explained because it is simply not...

Yea, I also feel it should probably based on GA-L. Come on Lexus, show us something!

I have just read a news on Chinese website saying the new GS is going to be announced this October on GA-N platform. I dug around for similar information and found nothing so I don’t know how much creditbility it has. Anyways, the news shows people are expecting GS badly!

Yea, I’d say 305 unit of LS500h is an accomplisment. I’m guessing they are probably selling another 600 units of LS350? That is a real come back for LS in the market.

My bad... did not notice there is a table. But it only provides the price after change. You can get the USD equivalent of the each price by deviding 6.4 at the moment. I do not remember the previous price other than base NX ES and RX, so I could only guess the cut is about 7% over all. The...
