PaperLace:I read in one management text that Toyota decided to give birth to Lexus because at the beginning of their car production, they were seen as makers of cheap, mass produced cars. Their coming out with Lexus is to break into the luxury market and compete with BMW and Mercedes Benz. They felt that making expensive and cheap models simultaneously under the Toyota badge will create conflict of interest and idea |

nurey: Lol so its no longer the accord coupes, 406 coupe and Hyundai coupe S. Welldone sir. Nobody is talking about popularity here the car is not meant to be too popular it is not meant for everyone.. or how many sedans do u see on the road with V8 engine? This is not ur typical mass produced solara. And just so u know its successor the Lexus LC 500 is a major contender for driver's car and most beautiful non super car of the year.

nurey:Those cars you mentioned aren't its competition, the Lexus's case is even worse. Its rivals are the Mercedes SL, BMW 6 series, Jaguar XK, Porshe 911 etc. They all made it look second rate. 1 Like |

ba7man: Yeah, but you stretched it too far Bros. The most respected Lexus/toyota sports car for now (after the celica and supra) is the Lexus LFA. @OP, IF you looking for something different and has a Toyota back up, look at the SCION TC. |

nurey:Its price range put it more with the category I listed above. I have tons of Topgear mags and I watched all episodes.......they always list the above as its rivals. Audi TT, BMW Z4, Chrysler crossfire are more of the Benz SLK's rivals, never this lex. |

ba7man: I am not saying you ain't right, , am saying you ain't fair to the Lexus SC. That's why I said you stretching the competition too much hehehe |
Re: I Thought i've Seen All Toyota Cars...this One Caught Me Off Guard by ba7man(m): 10:21am On Mar 03, 2017 |
nurey:You love the Lexus. ......No wonder you're defending it. It would have been my first choice too if not for the Merc SL. |
