Lexus RX
2009-10-27 16:07:00 The Lexus RX is my favorite car. I love reading and writing about it and I like to talk about it. My quest lead me to TheCarConnection.com. They have researched and drove the 2010 Lexus RX 450h to put together an indept review. I enjoyed reading what editors at TheCarConnection.com has presentted there. I suggest all car lovers should go and read the review. Like all its previous models, Lexus RX 450h has for advanced hybrid technology, for better fuel economy, but mostly, for the luxurious look and feel of the previous model. There are minor differences, though, from the old version to the new 2010 Lexus RX 450h. The details are finessed?smaller headlamps, skinnier rear glass, a more pinched appearance from the side. The overall appearance is somewhat less imposing than before, but still handsome. The cockpit suffers a bit; the new shapes and textures of the dash, particularly the center console, are a little less rich and inviting, and less wood trim covers the dash. It can be ...

Lexus LF-A competes at the 2008 24 Hours of the Nurburgring
2008-05-24 13:16:00 Lexis is running the LF-A prototype at the 24 hour event to gather test data before an introduction of the car into production in 2010. This will be interesting to watch - the car is already doing 7:24 in development laps at the track, bettering the Porsche GT-2 and matching the Nissan GT-R. Note how the car is painted flat black to keep prying eyes away from the details... few of the technical details of the car are known at this early point other than that it is powered by a V-10 engine mounted in the front. We'll have to keep an eye on this one over the weekend. Kudos to Lexus engineers for having the confidence in their work to run a development prototype in a tough race like this! A conventional manufacturer might ch-ose to enter a car after a year of production... Lexus is clearly not a conventional car company!

Lexus brand to get at least two, not one, unique hybrids
2008-05-23 04:42:00 Lexus brand to get at least two, not one, unique hybrids Last month, news came of Toyota's Lexus brand getting a Prius-based hybrid vehicle when the next generation car breaks cover some time in 2010. Now, the latest reports have the automaker also mulling over at least one more hybrid vehicle that won?t look like anything else in the maker's current range, this one possibly a crossover. If true, Toyota would maintain its position as a pioneer in the hybrid vehicle industry. The Prius-based car would have unique styling inside and out, and be priced well north of its Toyota-badged donor, at above $30,000. It may also use lithium-ion batteries, unlike the current and probably next-generation Prius' nickel-metal hydride batteries, according to Inside Line, with the inline-four cylinder gasoline engines in either displacing 1.8 liters. The crossover could very well use the same powertrain, as all three cars are to be underpinned by Toyota's midsize MC platform,...

Paul McCartney?s Lexus LS600H delivered by plane
2008-05-15 23:29:00 Click the Lexus LS600h for a high res galleryIt must be nice to be Sir Paul McCartney. Lexus offered to give the über-famous Beatles front-man a brand new car. He settled on an LS600H, the hybrid flagship of the Lexus brand. According to a source familiar with the matter, Paul "ordered the hybrid limo because it helps to reduce emissions." Those emissions took a giant leap forward before Sir Paul even got behind the wheel, as the vehicle was delivered by plane. The estimated carbon footprint of the trip comes to 38,050kg, which, for perspective, is ten times what it would have been if the Lexus had been delivered by boat. Put another way, according to Co2balance.com Director Mike Rigby, "That is the equivalent of driving the car around the world six times." Even the air freight shipping company was surprised, with a spokesman quoted as saying, "Obviously we were happy for the business but everyone was shocked. The carbon footprint must be enormous." McCartney is reportedly rath...

Video:BMW M3 vs Mercedes C63 AMG vs Lexus IS-F face-off
2008-05-12 04:32:00 Back in January, when Lexus announced their IS-F model, we reported that their new car will go into direct competition with the BMW M3 and the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. We have already seen many reports comparing the C63 AMG to BMW's M3, but we haven't seen any videos showing the Lexus IS-F against the other models. The fellows at Car Magazine UK have decided to put all these three models head-to-head and show us what they can do. Here are the specs on all the three cars that were tested: 2008 BMW M3 Sedan: 4.0 liter V8 engine producing 414 horsepower. 0-60 in 4.9 seconds 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG: 6.3 liter V8 engine producing 451 horsepower 0-60 in 4.3 seconds 2008 Lexus IS-F: 5.0L direct-injection V8 engine producing 416 horsepower. 0-60 in 4.9 seconds The outcome?

Spied: Mystery Lexus IS prototype remains unidentified
2008-05-10 15:07:00 Spied: Mystery Lexus IS prototype remains unidentified For the last few days, we've been sitting on spy photos of an camouflaged Lexus IS, seen undergoing testing at the Nurburgring track. We've been unable to figure out what it might be a prototype for, so we're simply going to share all the possibilities, and leave it up to you, the reader, to decide! The prototype has the following characteristic: A roll-cage Recaro racing seats No Sunroof A paint scheme that seems to transition from very light blue to darker blue A hood bulge A bulge on the trunk Lowered suspension No GPS Antenna So far, several theories have been proposed regarding the true identity of this car. They include: A new IS race car (possible — are there decals under that camo?) An IS facelift (unlikely) A turbocharged IS (possible — those could be air intakes on the hood) A hybrid IS (possible — many hybrid prototypes have equipment protruding from the hood) A mecha...

2008-05-09 09:35:00 The mysterious Lexus IS spotted yesterday has made a video appearance, albeit rather brief and shaky: The engine note is hard to read, though I would say it’s a V6. The hood bulge would indicate there’s something unusual going on, but whether it’s a hybrid system or even a supercharger is anyone’s guess. [Via: Jalopnik] (Thanks Jarrett!)

Lexus USA April 2008 Sales Report
2008-05-02 03:32:00 The month of April was not kind to Lexus, as sales dropped 17.1% since last year. Here is, as always, a breakdown: 2008 2007 % Change IS250/350/F 4,550 4,363 -3.7 ES350 5,439 6,544 -23.3 GS350/460/450h 1,568 1,887 -23.3 SC430 217 341 -41.3 LS460/600h L 1,992 3,182 -42.2 Total Cars 13,766 16,317 -22.1 RX350/400h 7,160 7,861 -15.9 GX470 1,625 1,577 -4.9 LX570 799 240 207.3 Total Trucks 9,584 9,678 -8.6 Total Sales 23,350 25,995 -17.1 The LX 570 was the lone bright spot, where sales have jumped 207.3% with the introduction of the SUV update. Everything else was down, including the LS, which saw a significant 42.2% drop. Going over the age of the line-up, there’s definitely a lull. The IS-F was a step in the right direction, but its availability and market are both quite small, and it can’t really be expected to boost the sales numbers. One thing’s for sure, a drop like this brings change, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some new pr...
Road & Track Comparison: Lexus IS-F vs. BMW M3 vs. Audi RS4 vs. Mercedes C6
2008-05-01 09:47:00 Road & Track has dared to compare the Lexus IS-F, BMW M3, the Mercedes C63 and the Audi RS4 in the latest of the super sedan shootouts. As has often been the case, the Lexus IS-F put in a good showing but was still relegated to last place: Nobody likes to finish off the podium, but it’s not as bad as it might seem for the first Lexus to wear the stylized “F” ? and the first Lexus capable of decidedly “non-Lexus” performance in the vein of the BMW M3. Its explosive 0?60 and quarter-mile times of 4.2 and 12.6 seconds put it second in the test, just a tick slower than the Mercedes. A slalom weave of 70.9 mph also puts it in second, behind the BMW. So no flies in the ointment yet. Until you look at the IS F among the others. Said Dennis Simanaitis: “To me, the Lexus’ oddly pugnacious snout detracts from its otherwise stylish lines.” The tarted-up oval finishers for the exhaust do the car no aesthetic favors, and the side treatment make...
