Replying to: callmedrfill (Feb 18, 2006 6:33 am) what about "VX", i've heard rumors of a lexus suv called VX to replace the LX a couple of months ago. hey,..wait, isn't "VX" a nerve gas? |

Going to 3 letters is not preferred, but I don't think buyers will mind. Then again, what does "IS" mean? DrFill

Replying to: drfill (Feb 19, 2006 1:18 pm) "IS" doesn't mean anything, i think, but it sounds good and is "sporty" somehow ... If they choose "VX" the problem is that they have named a vehicle after a nerve gas, though most customers won't mind, i think the name is kinda not proper...

| so, do you think the HPX is the September 2007 LX replacement? | |

LS means simply "Luxury sedan". ES means "Executive Sedan". How does IS become "Intelligent Sport"? Maybe it means "Incredible Sedan"? Swiss It is big enough! But it will obviously change the RangeRover competitor focus for the top SUV. Since the LC/LX470 is being replaced in Toyotas lineup with a back-to-basics $20k Land Cruiser, Lexus may want to chart a new path at the top, and make a bigger RX, as it is their most popular vehicle. A RX with 3 rows. DrFill

Replying to: drfill (Feb 23, 2006 7:19 am) I saw it once in the Lexus brochure that included all vehicles. It was for 2003 I believe. It defined what each model name stood for. IS was Intelligent Sport. Do a google on it, Docta!

ES does not mean Exective sedan, it means Entry Sedan The LX 470 Land Cruiser platform will not be downsized. There is a preview in an Australian magazine showing the new front end, which is common with the new 2007 Toyota Tundra. Expect a few changes in it for the new LX/JX Flagship SUV. |

Then they lied to Motor Trend in 1991, because they explained what LS and ES meant when they first developed the moden ES300 (Not the ES250, short run). The article says LS means Luxury Sedan, while ES means Executive Sedan. Maybe it was a misprint. It happens. Where would I get "Executive Sedan" from? DrFill |
