EDIT: I checked and they’re made of metal, I was wrong. :praise: What I saw originally was an aftermarket adhesive Bmw badge glued over the old OEM ruined one, which if you want to replace it demands a new airbag cover too.

I’m pretty sure almost nobody uses metallic emblems on the steering wheel for safety reasons in case of airbag deployment. Toyota uses the same plastic badge but it’s worked to look like metal, covered in a metal like material that also is heat responsive. This is a nice plus and I always...

I feel like the CT has better interiors than the UX, given the price difference (which of course isn’t based only on that aspect). I’m still massively disappointed by the lack of colours, the door panels are a joke and in the rear area they’re made of hard plastic. On the back of the front...

Take a crossover marketed as “urban explorer” to a racing track —> drive it hard —> lol understeer I honestly stopped reading here. I also don’t understand the criticism to the driving assist suite because I drove the car and everything worked as expected, but then again maybe it’s another...

I was at the Lexus dealership yesterday and checked out the car, it was an F Sport model. Looking inside the trunk I was shocked to see a bare uncovered metal frame at the top, along with the housing for the rear speakers. I can 100% confirm that my ex IS 300h, cheaper and a segment smaller...

I just watched the 52” documentary on Prime video and I was expecting an extended focus on Lexus - since I’ve seen this documentary associated/promoted by Lexus - but they don’t really show anything interesting about the production process or little known facts. It still is an enjoyable product...

Is there a particular reason why the car is called “260h” instead of “250h” in China?

The sad thing is that nowadays people don't care about how a car drives, they only want a literal smartphone on wheels (Tesla). German car makers keep focusing their marketing on telling us how big is the screen of their infotainment system, Mercedes here makes commercial to amuse people about...

While this may be true, they still have to understand that many of the limitations they impose on their models prevent the cars to express said individual character. A random example? AVS suspension limited to F-Sport trims only, aluminium pedals limited again to F-Sport models, a specific...

The Mark Levinson system is overkill with low quality Spotify compressed mp3 music streamed over bluetooth (this also has an impact over the sound quality vs streaming the same audio track through an USB source). Try playing an old fashioned CD and hear the night/day difference it makes, also...

Have you spoken to a lawyer about this issue? Maybe you could set up a class action with every other scammed owner of this garbage system. Also write to every single consumer rights protection association and to every single automotive media (magazines, websites, blogs, etc..), let the general...

Is this a Lexus ES related problem only or does it affect other new models like the UX? Of course "journalists" said nothing in their reviews, so I have to trust only real world users/owners.

Yes, I know. Usually our specific market often has weird limitations (see: no moonroof available - even if preview models on display @ dealerships are equipped with that :weary_face:) but this time with the UX I'd say I'm quite satisfied also because they kept the Mark Levinson system as an...

It's not a nav upgrade, it's the navigation module for models without sat navigation feature with the 7" screen. If you want the bigger screen you have to get the Lexus Premium Navigation which is also tied to the upgrade of the audio system. Also, if appears that Lexus doesn't care about...

Sadly, if you want to upgrade to the bigger infotainment screen with sat nav and better audio system you have to buy a package which includes the leather seats upgrade (also electric steering wheel adjustments) so if you prefer the leather+cloth combo you have to take the "base" F-Sport model...

I'm waiting for some instrumental review with times and actual data, also nobody talked about the headlights (bi-led vs triple-led) quality apart from them being stylish... I'd be interested in reading about the audio quality for the 8 speakers system vs the Mark Levinson.

The triple beam led headlights uses the Matrix technology which is very useful. The Bi led are standard full led headlights with automatic high beams. Generally a good pair of 35w xenon HIDs with AFS are superior to full led lights but are inferior to the Matrix Led technology which is the...

Ok thanks, I had the right intuition. I would never ever buy a premium car equipped with mandatory fake leather when I can upgrade to real leather in non premium cars such as the Mazda 6 (Nappa leather) or Kia Stinger. In my humble opinion it's a stupid marketing choice as they're probably...

I'll never understand why Lexus (Luxury Exportation for United States) denies their reference market luxurious features like these, something you would expect from a premium car. I mean, here in Italy where Lexus are rare things we can have real leather as standard on higher trims or optional...
