Ahhh makes sense now....

Since I never dabbed in German yet... my body is not ready for Lexus...

this is my only reason for not having a LFA.... yes... thats the only reason

I went the other way from Lexus to German/Italian.

Lexus used to be the move — but the new gen has none of those advantages.
• NX has that hybrid cable issue ($4k fix? seriously?)
• RX shrank and that 2.4T is going to rattle the car apart
• IS is missing tech you’d expect in a Camry
• ES is still a retirement home on wheels

At this point, a B48/58 + ZF8 BMW is a 10 year reliability record. And if you care more about comfort and efficiency, just give me an MB EQ-series and call it a day.

Cuz if you gotta go out or flee a shooting, you gotta have that one car that will start every time and it's Toyota, Lexus.

Would you trust your life with a European product.

In the past sure but nowadays I’ll take the BMW or EA888 Audi.

You just made Badhobz all wet.

I mean... I'm aggressively shopping for a Granturismo Convertible or DB9 convertible

I was referring to your Toyota trash talk.

Is that why I saw so many first gen IS300s when I was around there?

Lexus is dead to me too. The LC is the final product that has a glimmer of what their core values and engineering capabilities used to be. The lineup nowadays is full of garbage I wouldn’t even consider.

Maybe the GX…. Maybe. But I tried to enjoy that 4 seater LX and it was an utter piece of shit. I couldn’t even stretch out ! Who designed this ?!?

The worst offender is the badge engineered TX. I’ve seen better interior build quality in a GM.

I want a lexus built by takumi, who spent 5 years sweeping the factory floor to prove his dedication before building cars; not joe from kentucky who had a beer during his lunch break and forgot to install a bolt cause he was watching fox news on the production line.

What up with the Dodge Charger 'body lines' on the doors?

They were really glazing at the auto show - spent hours talking about how many jobs they created in the states

Guys, new pics have dropped

arrrgh its frumpy as hell. I got no car brands left to buy, everything I loved is dead or utterly stupid

The extra body line hides how much taller the car is - BMW’s styling is weird for same reason.

This is a concession of building gas and EV on the same platform. Battery variant adds a ton of height instead of really being a part of unibody like a dedicated EV platform.

Oh, my. :pokerface:

I immediately associated this with the Hyundai N cars. It almost has the body lines of the Toyota Crown in it. :inoutugh:

It seems to suffering an identity crisis. What happened to the old man look of it? They kind of squashed the outgoing RC300/RC350 F-Sport with a Toyota Crown.

A F car??? XDDD ROOOOOOOMMMMAAAAAAAAA


NO NO NO NO NO, N looks much better come on..... hahaha

How much of this is shared with the crown? At least it looks better. What about that gr Corolla one, I thought they trade marked the name for the US? It was like nbx or ubx or something.

This is substantially more different than the Land Cruiser/4Runner/GX.

What's different is they reinforced the structure and moved things around to fit the battery pack in there .... which is why the car structure/body looks so much "taller"

The size/shape just reminded me of the Crown.

I still think the 6th gen is the best looking one. Especially if it has all the options. I'm kinda bias though

I like this the best, less beaky and pretty much looks like a LS
