Late to reply here... but 100% agree Kevin. Which is why I've strayed somewhat from Lexus the last 3 or so years. I'm hanging from a thread with the UX. Lexus must step up the game now, and be that market differentiator they once were.

I agree. With all the emissions restrictions, I don't see Lexus putting the 5L V8 in the IS. Also, this engine is too exclusive to be in a non-F-labeled IS, as an "IS 500". With this in mind, and seeing how Lexus' nomenclature strategy has evolved, perhaps rumors of the 2.4L T may actually be...

Agree. Buying a luxury car is really a non-sensible purchase, but the consumer's emotion is a very powerful "business case". This however is built over time from the brand continually creating excitement through an exciting and competitive product portfolio...

Same question I have. Canada does have a stronger BEV market/interest, though I'm not holding my breath. This news is disappointing. Lexus/Toyota are becoming way too conservative and resistant to change in a time where consumers/society are embracing change and technology advances despite...

To be clear, we're not directly talking about battery capacity, but electrical consumption. Consumption increases significantly from below 2-3 C and worsens at -5 C and colder. In practical terms, this is from about 120 Wh/km in summer, to about 180 Wh/km in winter this year, despite a mild...

Hopeful... but I'm not holding my breath considering how many other Lexus RWD models would/should have been F model candidates already - IS, LC, LS. What I would like to see as a decent alternative is the F Sport line to provide a bump in power in addition to the suspension upgrade.

300+km range for the UX300e is decent for every day use. The concern I have is if the technology is highly sensitive to cold climates, as with other Li-ion BEVs on the market, including my Tesla. In sub freezing winter snowy conditions, my car's range drops significantly by as much 50% making...

Fall 2021 is a year further than expected making the current NX on a longish 7-year cycle. Speculation on the 4-5 powertrain options? 2L N/A ICE Direct Shift CVT (i.e. UX, Corolla, etc) 2L T ICE 8-speed (or new 10-speed would be nice) (i.e. current engine carried over with minor...

A "3.5" IS with carryover engines is a major disappointment and another stab towards killing off my 30 year Lexus loyalty.

Exciting to see the ELECTRIC badge on what definitely looks like the UX! If the CH R electric is any indication on range, the rumor-mill has it at least at 200 miles/320km, not great but not bad! :) https://fossbytes.com/toyota-chr-compact-electric-suv-launch-specs-price-range-china/

Good numbers for the Lexus SUVs, but not enough to compensate for the dismal Lexus sedan sales. IS (and GS if still remains) is in need of a major overhaul now, but reality is no sooner than MY 2021.

A Production BEV is pleasantly surrprising news! Looking forward to the official unveil!

Seems Toyota/Lexus have succumbed to the inevitable competition that is quickly encroaching on BEV market share and taken immediate action to minimize this impact! This is excellent news and looking forward to the new models!

Late in the game but looking forward to this. Lexus badly needs a production EV fast, I mean 2021-2022 latest to compete with every other manufacturer releasing EVs over the next 2 years, not 2025 please!

Nice touch!

Finally! Great news for Lexus and the automotive industry to start getting more FC vehicles out there.

Keep the car as pristine as possible and low mileage, but it's still a pretty big hit in depreciation the first two years of ownership, cost is + - the equivalent of a 2-year lease.

No need to apologize. It's your opinion vs my ownership experience. ✌ I have owned 12 Lexus vehicles that includes the CT, HS, NX, UX, the sweet RC F, and multiple generations of the RX and IS. Add in the Stinger of late and I can provide credible feedback. I love Lexus build quality and its...

Stinger GT AWD Limited can't be beat for the price (50k cdn), performance, quality, practicality, and styling. It turns heads every time I'm on the road. The German cars are nice but 25K more similarly equipped, and more common.

Lots of frustration between the many lines in the posts above and I can sadly relate. As an avid Lexus loyalist, I have succumbed to the competition due to Lexus' complacency in redesigning their vehicles. I switched to a Stinger GT almost 2 years ago (fantastic car) and now moving to a...
