Honestly I keep reading and watching all your debate in total silence because I was worried from 2014 I keep posting that there's something wrong in TMC intersection
I was the first to say that LEXUS has only 1 of 3 routes
Either full lineup as the German 3
Or Luxury sport lineup as Jaguar/Porsche/Maserati
Or the third will be another Acura/Infiniti/Lincoln/Cadillac
And then I believed and I still believing that the Luxury sport lineup model is the way they should go
They need to kill the CT and make the new corolla fit&finish/material as if the corolla is the new generation of the CT
Same need to be with the ES/Avalon, NX/RAV4 & RX/Highlander
Merging all the BOF they have under both Toyota & Lexus in a new brand and let it be LandCruiser brand
Stay faithful to the 3 main cars category with 3 bodies for every category and that's it sedan / Coupe / RWD based crossover instead of BOF
LS / LC / LX (full sized)
GS / GC / GX (executive)
IS / IC / IX (small)
And stuck to this formula forever , they will then gain a lot of momentum by pushing themselves to this model a niche but with affordable price
Now they are failed in the full lineup model and they are starting to be taking ***/USA luxury failed model
