    Mercedes-Benz Concept EQG (all-electric G-Class)

    Yes, but expected of a vehicle costing 3x the price.

    12th Generation E120 Toyota Corolla Thread (Hatch, Sedan, Cross, GR)

    Unbelievably cool commercial of the GR Corolla, so well made it brings a tear to my eyes.

    Sports BEVs

    At the moment any BEV with any "performance" at all easily weighs over 2 tons. The Rimac Nevera for example may be able to do 0-60 in 1.74s but it also weighs 2.3 tons. The moment you throw a performance BEV into a corner you realize that it's no sports car. There is no way with the battery...

    New All-Wheel Drive System Coming to Lexus Hybrids & EVs

    About time Lexus makes its own version of the Acura Sport Hybrid SH-AWD, which made its debut in 2013 on the RLX Sport Hybrid. Hopefully Lexus will see it fit to apply the technology to the front wheels of Lexus' RWD cars as well (a la the NSX even though the layout is different).

    The Lexus Awards Megathread

    Here's a better chart with the range of reliability ratings among models of each brand. Quite alarming how lowly-rated the LS is (<20). The LS used to receive the highest reliability rating from CR of all vehicles in the early 2000s despite carrying the most advanced technologies at the time...

    Second Generation Toyota Mirai

    Great move. People who pay luxury car money should not be expected to settle for an econobox with a nerdy look. Based on the TNGA-N platform that underpins the Crown, the new Mirai will now be a proper premium car that can live up to the expectations of luxury car buyers (save for perhaps a...

    Lexus September 2019 Sales Report

    Worth mentioning that at 18,860 for the month, Lexus as a brand now trails in sales behind the Model 3, which sold around 20,250. As a brand, Tesla sold around 23,025 in September 2019. Sad to see how stagnant Lexus has become relative to its competition...

    New Adaptive Headlights to Debut on 2020 Lexus RX Crossovers Outside North America

    Lexus Japan just released a very detailed video illustrating exactly how the new BladeScan Adaptive High-beam System works. I'm astounded by the innovative approach of how it is implemented. A must watch! It makes it so much more frustrating and baffling why this industry-leading technology...

    The Gazoo Racing Super Sport WEC hypercar thread

    Toyota is already seen testing the prototype with Akio Toyoda at the helm. The road-going version will have nearly 1000hp, while the race car will have 750hp. According to the homologation rule for the WEC hypercar class: At least 25 road cars equipped with the engine and 25 cars equipped with...

    The Lexus LM Minivan Megathread

    I mean that the MC platform that the Alphard is based on is not only ancient but decidedly "cheap", unworthy of a premium brand, with low-grade steel used everywhere and low rigidity as a result. The new TNGA platform is much more premium-grade and worthy of use in a premium vehicle, but Toyota...

    The Lexus LM Minivan Megathread

    Yes, and that's why I said I wouldn't be terribly surprised, but only terribly disappointed, that Lexus isn't holding its brand name to a higher standard.

    The Lexus LM Minivan Megathread

    For what's supposed to be an all-new model for Lexus they had better not simply slap a Lexus badge onto the existing Alphard. I would not be terribly surprised but simply terribly disappointed if Lexus does take the cheapo route instead of properly designing a new vehicle with the TNGA platform.

    Agreed. Remember that the LM was actually trademarked in the USA first. https://lexusenthusiast.com/forums/threads/lexus-trademarks-lm-350-lm-300h-nameplates-in-usa.4555/

    Lexus Named Top Brand in J.D. Power 2019 Vehicle Dependability Study

    Hi krew, you're incorrectly linking to the 2016 VDS, where the ES, GX and RX were indeed winners, but we don't know who the winners are this year since the official PR has been down for some reason.
