I'm praying Toyota coperation gets back to its roots in building serious cars with it's own parts

I’m a True Believer in TOYOTA and LEXUS. They are Just Reliable Cars Especially if I Can Take you Back 42 yrs when I Bought a 1975 TOYOTA Corolla it was Bulletproof. In 1977 and the Awsome 1999 LEXUS GS 300. Omg. Just Great. Had lots of Power the In-line 6 cylinder.

1. Thank God that Sato is in and Sawa is out. He was so out of touch and is responsible for the current state of the IS/GS/LX. As other automakers have shown, you don’t need a refresh/redesign cycle to update an infotainment. The RX should not have waited until 2020 to have an updated infotainment. The GX is still using the 2010 version of Enform. Why does the 2020 UX have AA and not the flagships LS/LC? This guy needed to go yesteryear.
Hoping that Sato will show some serious love to the neglected RWD cars.
2. I knew that when Mercedes announced they would be stepping away from auto shows, Lexus would follow. Although this would make auto shows less interesting and exciting for me, this would give Lexus more time to update their lineup instead of trying to meet auto show deadline quotas. The RC-F Track Edition was definitely rushed to meet the NAIAS press release. I’ll look forward to reading Lexus’ online press rooms for new releases.

Lexus needs to update their interior and the infotainment

Wew one of those lexus sales were mine this year! Too bad the IS doesn't do so well here...and the GS but that isn't much of a surprise. And yes we sure love our landcruisers here! As they say, if you want to go anywhere, you should get a land rover. But if you want to come back again, then you should get a land cruiser! (or something long those lines)

I think people sometimes forget that the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) was designed to accommodate ICE, hybrid, fuel cell and even full electric drivetrains. I expect within the next 4-5 years we'll see full electric vehicles based on the TNGA platforms.

Let’s all take a moment and pray Toyota takes a step down with their oversized grills. If they can just cut their grills half way their vehicles would be so perfect. But while some of their grill can be ugly, at least they know where to put their headlights!

I'll just ask him to please remove that Thanos chin grill! There is no need to have a massive grill for a 4 cylinder engine. It's just a stupid car trend that needs to end!

I hope AWD will be added to the Lexus ES350 just like the Toyota Avalon and Camry.

Toyota/Lexus makes the world’s best cars, they are reliable, well made cars that are a pleasure to drive and own.

I own a 2000 Toyota V6 Camry Azura (the poor man’s Lexus ES300), with 150, 000km, and it runs like brand new, the engine and automatic gearbox are superb.

Hyped to see what Sato has in store for Lexus’ future

[mikeramey]

I love Toyota most reliable cars on the road have one with over two hundred thousand miles on it and still runs good!

Hi Kirk, This may not be the correct channel to contact you and ask a question, but here goes. What have you heard about 2021 Lexus IS having a V6. This would confirm what I heard from a Lexus dealer in Australia just a week ago that Gen 5 Lexus IS would have a V6.

Great content, I own 2008 Sequoia, with a little over 200K miles great large SUV., but I’m anxiously waiting on a new, fresh designed Sequoia. Am I wasting my time?

Scotty Kilmer is the person Toyota/Lexus should thank.

[lolmf]

I sub.. truly because i love Lexus but also thanks for all the information given.
Good job bro

[jrocxzs]

I’m a valet and though I haven’t driven many Lexus vehicles, the GS is definitely one of the most high quality feeling vehicles I’ve ever been right next to the Bentley Bentayga.
