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.

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.

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

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
