It's not going to do anything. Lexus keeps getting away with what they do because the status quo is exactly what their customer base wants. The average Lexus buyer wants a NX/RX/TX/ES and nothing else. They don't want anything exciting, just a car that takes them from point A to point B. Lexus doesn't need to cater to their "enthusiast" customer base anymore because there are maybe a few thousand left on the planet. Most already switched to a different brand like I did.

The biggest mistake Lexus ever made was not following through with the F line. The original view of lexus was it's a brand for retirees and old people.
The first car that was built to address that situation was also the first car to take a hit the GS.
I remember the 4GS was the first time a lexus out handle anything in its class until escalade answered with the magnetic suspension. And what did they do after that discontinue the GS instead of building on that momentum.
Samething with the LC with all the praise it had the only complaint that car ever had was it wasn't fast enough. Easily the LCF will have dealt with that issue instead they killed the project and gave us a convertible.
If the F models all had a 2nd generation by now Lexus image as a Luxury/performance brand will be taken more seriously instead we got what we got.
At this point it looks like Koji SATO don't want any part of this because I haven't seen him in almost a year now saying anything about his plan for Lexus or Toyota. Meanwhile we won't stop seeing Akio.
