Lexus News

Lexus is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Toyota that was launched in the U.S. back in 1989. The brand initially began with one model, the LS large sedan, but has expanded to include coupes, convertibles, SUVs and CUVs. Lexus was the first Japanese luxury brand to seriously compete with German marques thanks to its sterling reputation for quality.

Followup: Lexus launches TORI 500 iPhone app racing game [w/video] 1329515040

Apparently, being the Official Automotive Marketing partner of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit property was just the excuse Lexus needed to get in touch with swimsuit model Tori Praver. And we can hardly blame them. But what could Praver's statuesque body and perfectly feminine features have to do with cars, you ask? That's a very good question, and it's ...

Video: Lexus maps a curvy Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model with GS sedan 1329265200

Lexus is doing whatever it can to convince people that its new GS is not like the anesthetized machinery it's been known for in the past. Part one of that plan was a Super Bowl commercial – a first for Lexus. Part two is throwing some sex into the mix. Lexus has earned (or more likely paid for) the right to call itself the Official Automotive ...

There's no doubting the importance of the Lexus RX. It's one of the top-selling models from one of the top-selling luxury marques.

Coming your way via a leaked brochure, the 2013 ...

Screaming green Lexus LFA likely to split opinions 1328200140

The fabulously wealthy face all sorts of dilemmas that the rest of us never have to bother with. If you can afford a Lexus LFA, for example, what color do you opt for? Red is clearly for the Ferrari in your stable. Black belongs on your hearse, and... copper? Well, that's best left for your LX570. What you want is something that makes a statement. A color ...

Video: 2013 Lexus GS unleashed in Super Bowl ad 1328040000

A new Lexus LX 570 is going to set you back nearly $82k after you add $875 delivery to its $80,930 base price.

Video: First Lexus Super Bowl ad to star 2013 GS 1326900600

Given a moment's thought, it's a little surprising that Lexus, a luxury brand that changed the game, has never run an ad during the Super Bowl. But the home of L-Finesse not only has nine new or updated cars coming out this year, led by the 2013 GS, it has a new attitude, which will be "uncontained" in a 30-second spot while the Niners play the Patriots ...

Report: Lexus pondering CT variants, seven-seat people mover 1326747420

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Only in this case, when we say "goose," we mean Toyota, and when we say "gander," we mean Lexus. Take, for instance, the Japanese auto giant's hybrid strategy. Leave aside hybrid drivetrains available in conventional models (like the Toyota Camry Hybrid or the Lexus GS 450h) and look directly at the ...
