Dang, that's not only one hell of a flex but also that color is stunning too.

Agreed! I was looking at gray because it blends in with the grille so well but this blue has me questioning whether this is better

I assume the mid model year change.

Typically untypical: month 1 with the Lexus RX 450h+

You can rely on Lexus to do things just that bit differently. Read month 1 with the Lexus RX hybrid

First impressions are good. It steers nicely, handles tidily, rides well enough, always get over 40 miles from the battery and is very quiet. The sort of quiet that makes a good music system sound great and encourages you to drive more slowly so as to enjoy the peace and tranquillity for longer. Not what I’d do in an LFA, but so far, I rather like it.

UK car reviews are so painful to watch with their mix of miles, kg, metric horsepower, MPG-UK, g/km. Whether you are from a metric country or imperial country you get equally confused.

Weird how someone can be a car reviewer and not know the difference between turbo lag and transmission/accelerator lag.

As a car enthusiast, makes sense since the barrier to entry is low. That being said, as a consumer, the majority of folks at a car dealership who end up purchasing into Lexus probably will end up saying or focusing on things like this on the daily.

Too many conversations end up into silly things like how strong the door is (remember that vw dealer commercial), the door thud score, how many ambient colors, how many maintenance items can one ignore during a lease term, etc.

Side note, these silly conversations or useless metrics are the loop holes that automakers will use to market their vehicles....Lexus F sport appearance vs F sport handling packages or Lexus Blackline editions.

Any thoughts of when we can expect mid model year change?
