    5th Generation (2018+) Lexus LS 500 & LS 500h Megathread

    It's quite normal for this segment, The all new S-Class test: Besides AWD has nothing to do with the vehicle handling, in contrary it contributes toward worst result because of the extra weight, but if you ignore the weight, the AWD system has no effect on handling -this is a very common...

    IS 500 F SPORT Performance Megathread

    Exactly, that made me recall Chris Harris review from 2017, he said about the GS F "I can't think about any car that would suffer more on a limited test drive like one hour out of the showroom then back test drive than the Lexus GS F, because it just takes so long to reveal it's quite...

    Next-Generation Lexus RC Coupe to Use Mazda Platform & Engine?

    I think this is not going to happen due to the following reasons : 1- For the platform Lexus - like the other Japanese manufacturers - is joining the modular platform ship, which aiming toward facilitating parts sharing, easier to make variants and cutting production costs. So in general we have...

    7th Generation (2019+) Lexus ES (250, 260, 300h, 350) Megathread

    Did they change the layout of the Crown engine ? As I know the Crown has longitudinal mounted engine, and its Hybrid is basically the same as of the GS or LS Its a RWD mid-size vehicle, or as I call it re-skinned GS o_O

    This one is a RWD platform, and its AWD is Full-Time AWD, basically RWD I guess he asked about non-SUV transverse mounted engines with AWD :)

    7th Generation (2019+) Lexus ES (250, 260, 300h, 350) Megathread

    I guess you mean any non-SUV AWD vehicle ? Yes, the new prius is a hatchback and it has E-Four system in Japan and many other markets, so if there is any possibility for the ES to come with an AWD system, I think the ES300h is the only one which may get it not the ES350 or any gasoline model.

    7th Generation (2019+) Lexus ES (250, 260, 300h, 350) Megathread

    Having bigger leg room doesn't mean it's bigger than the LS, the LS's rear seats still by far more comfortable and nicer place to be in - the shoulders area in the LS is certainly bigger- For the power, the LS500h is by far more powerful than ES300h, the materials inside the LS are coming...

    7th Generation (2019+) Lexus ES (250, 260, 300h, 350) Megathread

    It's pretty obvious what they are doing, it's that simple : - The ES is a replacement for the GS only in the markets that were get GS only - like Europe, Japan .. etc - - The new generation GS is under development - by the way Toyota already developed a mid-size GA-L luxury sedan, which is the...

    It's stunning, now I can't wait to see the ALL-NEW GS >> No one comes and throw that rumor of discontinuing it, as I mentioned before the GS has a new generation on its way, but its not the global mid-size sedan anymore. And there is no way the ES would come with an AWD system . It will be...

    Lexus March 2018 Sales Report

    The problem with Lexus sedans now can't be all on the SUV trend or the spindle grill, the main reason is that ES/IS/GS are now too old and all competitors have been changed after these Lexus cars so they are doing better than Lexus in sedans . Look at the LS its doing really well in its 1st full...
