#251 of 3321 Updates to my previous post on Lexus releases by oac Jun 09, 2005 (7:42 am)
Here is an update from another respectable car mag published here in Japan - Best Car - June 2005 issue, with a full page of news and pictures on several new Lexus(es):   2007 LS460: 4.6L V8 350HP. Available for sale August 2006. Starts at 8 million yen (roughly $80K). One small problem - the pic of the car in white is just not doing it for me..... I am hoping that picture is not the real one cos that would be as bland as vanilla, especially the frontal look can be mistaken for a stretched Acura RL.... eeeeewww !!   Lexus 450GT (the actual car derived from the LF-A concept): This car is a real beauty. Due out Sept 2007. Comes with a 4.5L V10 rated at 500HP. Price starts at 10 million Yen (roughly $100K). The car is so sweet.... front and back... If there is one *must-have* Lexus sports car, this IS IT. Period. Low slung, muscular, and aerodynamic. Has side vents, and two somewhat large vents at the front bumper level. Of course, the patented tri-pipe exhaust looks sooooooo yum !!!   IS500 5.0L V8 with output >400HP. The car debuts in Sept 2007. Price not announced yet. Bulls-eye target is the BMW M3.   IS350 3.5L V6, has a 320HP output in Japan. Goes on sale, get this, July 2005. Price not announced yet !   IS350C - no engine spec provided. But the car is scheduled to debut in October 2006, as a MY2007 release. Pure LF-C concept in style....Yum !   And here is one many have not heard before....   A picture of a new RAV4-sized Lexus SUV to go head-to-head against the X3. The car debuts in the Spring of 2007. Complete with a picture (in teal-color), the car looks like a smaller-sized HPX concept. Looks realllyyyy good (Len, you will like it).... Double yum !!   BTW, the REAL picture of the newly redesigned Camry was also shown (in gold). It looks like a junior brother of the Avalon, and spots the Avalon's 3.5L V6, but no output or debut date were provided.... Doesn't really interest me, just an FYI to anyone interested...   And there is plenty more of other cars, of course.... The GT-R concept is dyn-o-mite in looks !!! WOW !!!!! If Infiniti/Nissan ever makes that car in exact concept, it will blow away the competition in pure meaness ! Darn !!! Of course, to some it will look over-the-top, but to me with so much vanilla designs these days, this is one no-nonsense concept that is sure to please hard-core designers (Designman, anywhere here ???)   Well, gents, this is it for me. I am in Korea through Friday and head back home. Don't expect any more FYI's but my colleague here in Tokyo will send me some more info on the LS as soon as he gets it. He promises by end of June or sooner... We'll see.... Replies to this message: xerok00l (Jun 27, 2005 8:09 am) oac (Jun 27, 2005 9:37 am)

So that means Toyota has officially green lighted the Lexus super coupe? Replies to this message: oac (Jun 09, 2005 3:16 pm)

Replying to: ljflx (Jun 09, 2005 5:58 am) Just curious - do any friends your age drive a Mercedes?   Yes - two. One has a previous generation E-Class and the other a C-Class.   M

Cool. Lexus getting bigger and better should only further solidify them as the US luxury leader. What they need to do now, is convince Europe, and Japan.

Replying to: jchan2 (Jun 09, 2005 9:01 am) A picture of a new RAV4-sized Lexus SUV    What does it look like?   Like the HPX concept, except that the rims don't quite fill the wheel well as in the concept. The latter can be found on lexus.com
#258 of 3321 The HPX is a sexy beast by callmedrfill Jun 10, 2005 (6:23 am)
if you haven't seen it in person. The concept was quite large, around the size of a SRX..       If it looks anything like that, it'll make that mini-Acura ute/X3 look like day-old eggs!      DrFill

Maybe its just me, but I found the HPX (I think it was later termed "LF-X" meaning Lexus future vehicle, which would make sense if its going into production) to be rather heavily inspired by Infiniti's FX. Replies to this message: ljflx (Jun 10, 2005 1:19 pm)

Replying to: lexusguy (Jun 10, 2005 12:09 pm) Not at all. In the paint this is an entirely different vehicle than the FX. Think a sexy minivan that wants to be an SUV as opposed to a full scale SUV like the FX. The HPX is also much better looking and naturally. is lower to the ground. You need to see it - you can't go by the pictures.
