For those who feared that the Lexus GX would go soft and join the ranks of the unibody RX, you can rest easy. At a time when the crossover seems to have taken over the SUV world, the 2010 Lexus GX 460 didn’t give in to the trend. Undergoing its first major redesign since […]

SEMA Motor Show 2009: Lexus F-Sports sitting in the sun

SEMA Motor Show Preview: 400-hp supercharged Lexus IS C hits the road to Sin City

Fox Marketing is back for the 2010 SEMA Motor show, following up last year’s tuned IS F with a supercharged 2010 Lexus IS350C. While Lexus’ hard-top cabrio may be an odd choice for a performance makeover, you can’t deny the equipment Fox used to create the lime green, 405 horsepower drop-top.

Tokyo Motor Show 2009: Lexus reveals $375,000 LFA supercar

It seems like the Lexus LFA has been around forever. In reality, the first concept version was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in 2005, but that’s a long time in the automotive world. Additional concepts followed in 2007 and 2008, and the on-off rumors of a production version haven’t help. Nevertheless, the production version […]
