4.

5.

6.
The brand name would have been Alexis. Alexis was the most preferred out of 219 names on the final list of names.

Me likey

- So many Lexus RX300 around me. Did Nigerians just remember the car? I see 330/350 too, but more of 300.

- All the "ES" I have seen, are almost exactly like Toyota, just different names. They should offer distinctive features.

9. The tachometer of the LFA had to be digital, as an analogue one won’t keep up with the speed of the engine.

This, thrilled me most.

Hmm

Interesting

Surprise?...they changed the motto...the original one was sooo on point. ...also surprised it wasn't sold in Japan.. bit with its size...I can understand. I still see the early generation Ls 400 on the road.... lots of pride in those beasts cars. I'll always take a Lexus over a Mercedes.... wayyyy more reliable.
