Official Lexus Future Product & Powertrain Megathread

[ssun30]

Electric cars are taking off in China, that's what matters. It's the ultra-luxury segment where they aren't gaining traction and Lexus was never competing in that space other than the LFA.

And for a supposedly China-centric product, they debuted the ES without BEV options and only the anemic 300h is available in China. And for the US market they debuted with only BEV options with the hybrid available later. The people who make these decisions obviously have some sort of intelligence deficiency.

I'm hoping (why am I still trying to be positive? 😅) that with electric cars not taking off the way they hoped and the younger crowd wanting sedans again, maybe, just maybe, Lexus will see this as a sign to redirect. I mean, I personally see the IS everywhere. People love it - especially the FSport one. Why get rid of something people clearly want? Hoping this bad spell of Lexus ends soon and they open their eyes again to what people want.

They're basically just testing how much crap their fanbase is willing to tolerate. Announce a BEV future, walk it back right after, axe all the halo cars, and replace them with a lineup of Toyota+ appliances.

The sad part is that plenty of people still blindly defend every decision they make. If the customer base had a little more backbone, they wouldn't have enabled these clowns to take over the company.

Well toyota's got money to burn by Frankensteining an unreleased g20e and a g16e into a single 7 cylinder engine for a camry but can't make a reliable v6 for the tundra lx gx
