AutoJoshNG:


Lexus is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese car maker Toyota.

Autojosh.com present to you “10 Things You Didn’t Know About Lexus”

1.
Lexus is one of the newest car brands in the world. Other brands date back to early or mid 1900s , Lexus was released for the first time 1989 with the LS model, weird to imagine that Toyota nursed the idea for 6years (since 1983)


2.
Only the best Toyota manufacturing professionals are allowed to apply for Lexus manufacturing. Quality control is taken very serious in the production of Lexus products.




3.
The Lexus LFA Nurburgring is the most expensive automobile in the entire Lexus and Toyota fleet. It starts at about $375,000(#140million), only 500 LFAs were made within two years despite the fact that it took them 10years to start production ..



4.
Ford CEO Alan Mullay was caught driving a Lexus LS 460 in 2006. This is considered outrageous and regarded as insurbodination. When asked ,he said “it was the finest car in the world"



And did he get the "finest" sack letter after saying that?

Just thinking...

I have Lexus LX470 and it's a beast. Compared to my Toyota Highlander, the Lexus drives like a tank.

To me, the best car ever made.

Fact NO 11:-
Did you know that the acronym LEXUS comes from


L luxury
EX export
US for the United States......


lies.

Two main theories still persist concerning the meaning of the Lexus name: it’s an acronym for “luxury exports to the US” and it’s a combination of “luxury” and “elegance.” However, according to Team One, the name never had a specific meaning.
Still, Lexus’ website claims it’s a combination of root words. “Among these are the Latin “luxus” and the French “luxe” for elegance and sumptuousness, as well as the Greek “lexicon” for language and words.” The website explains that the result is a fresh, distinct word that conveys luxury in any language

that SUV didn't take the life of those unfortunate souls, rather non conformity to safe occupancy driving and maintenance rules of that truck caused the untimely and unfortunate death of them.

may their souls rest in peace.

Alan R. Mulally went on to make critical decisions that many regard as being revolutionary and restored flagging confidence in FoMoCo.

His time as Ford Motor Co. CEO (2006-2014) turned out to be some of the best in FoMoCo's recent history.

He came in with the outsider mindset, determined to learn from what he considered the best, which was actually a Lexus LS430, not an LS460 as mentioned.

Production of the LS460 started Late 2006 but the first Model Year was 2007. Mr Mulally's comments were made mid 2006.

How would you consider #5,000 fuel from Badagry to Yaba to fro (60%) on air conditioner. To me, the fuel economy is good, but to others, that might be too much.
