I’m curious what kind of deals people are getting. Here in Northern California, most of what I’ve seen is still sitting at or around MSRP and a few listings are still over MSRP. Whatever the case may be, this is very encouraging to see!

I agree with that because I think everything goes back to price. The original LS400 was a great car, but what made it a real hit was the fact that the starting price undercut the Germans. Now, I understand that the cost to do business goes up for a car company that makes quality cars, but if you...

Very happy to see this car. Lexus is alive and well after all! I think pricing will be an important point seeing that they purposely didn’t make this a full blown F car. I like this old school approach with the V8 engine. Like in the late late 60’s, just put a 454 into a Chevy that can fit it...

I find it interesting that in certain places (like in my region), these cars have all but disappeared from listings like the first quote above would indicate, but they had a decent autumn sales figure for November (the second quote) This seems to suggest there’s a decent supply somewhere in the...

“If only Car and Driver actually drove this car at the limits. It wouldn’t even be Top 100 ” o_O

Personally, I think you’ve got issues if you’re basing a car purchase on what a guy or a magazine thinks. I don’t know, maybe I am old school:dunno:

If this was about 15-20 years ago, I would’ve agreed that a 4cyl possibly tarnishes the name. But nowadays with all of these Turbo 4’s around, I don’t think it does. Now if it was an anemic N/A 4 (I.e. like something Lexus would use to make an IS250) then we would singing a different tune as...

^yes, that’s correct. Sadly, no one has made a 1:18 Supra with opening parts yet.

Now, I know that 0-60 is not everything, and in fact this is just an article with estimates, but a hypothetical 500+ HP Supra GRMN should be able to go to 60 faster than 3.5secs. With the way cars are now and knowing that this is a few years away, it should be almost a second faster than that...

Congratulations on the new truck! Looks really nice. Always had a soft spot for these. I know you have a stable that you’ll haul around, but any plans for mods for the truck itself?

After reading about the news regarding the LC-F, LS-F, and now this, I am skeptical of this latest Lexus news due to the timeline that is given by Bestcar. Granted, it won’t take as much R&D to give the IS the old 5.0 V8 in the RC-F, it makes me doubtful that after debuting the refreshed IS...

^agreed. Cautiously optimistic. Perhaps Lexus did hear some of us fanboys calling out their manhood with their decisions in the past few months:lol: It makes sense since they had invested too much into it to the point where it was surprising that they just shelved the idea altogether. also...

My shelf is quite dusty, so pics are not the best. I am waiting for an A90 with opening parts:rant:

Actually, I think the Camry V6 in 2005 (5th gen) still used the 1MZFE, a power plant that dated to the 1990’s that was 200HP. it may have been about 210HP in SE trim, I’m not sure about that one though. The Camry didn’t use the 2GR Until 6th gen, but I think that was after the 3IS. I do think...

It is as if Lexus just stopped trying to give a damn I’m afraid for Lexus in the future. The average Lexus buyer is in their 50’s/60’s. I am a high school teacher in California and talk to kids every day about cars. In general, I think Lexus really doesn’t have an identity with the young at...

Agreed. If you look at one example, the 1UZ-FE, it gained about 50 HP when you look at the first application in the LS400 in 1990, to the last application in the 1998 GS400. That was an example of Lexus keeping a powertrain competitive, and I don’t think anyone would complain if Lexus did that...

2021 Acura TLX puts out 355HP and 354 Ft. Lbs. Torque Meanwhile, Lexus is still sitting at 300HP (or was it 306HP or 311HP... whatever, I have lost track of it) as their gold standard:hmm: Kids that were born in the same year Lexus introduced the 2GR-FSE are in high school now:rolleyes1...

I think having a 500HP 2025 A90 GRMN with 200 units produced is cool... but only if the 2025 A90 3.0 itself has about 450-475HP by then. Anything other than that and some are going to be left out.

Indeed. How dare the Japanese make a car that was faster than our fastest versions of the 5 series and E class! I wish Toyota would have the balls again to put out a car that would shake the Germans to their core again. They have the cash reserves that are the envy of all, but not the balls...

Oh I see! Thanks for posting that, I had no idea, but I do know that they did advertise the GS400 as being quicker than the Boxter. I’m not too sure about that one, especially when we’re talking about tenths of a second here, as GS400 always clocked in ~0.5 quicker than LS400
