2007 Lexus LS460
October 23rd, 2006
Until now, there have been only three big dogs in the practical, daily driver, luxury four-door world: the V-8 versions of the BMW 7-series, the Mercedes-Benz S-class, and the Audi A8. Sure, the latest Jaguar XJ8, the Maserati Quattroporte, and the Bentley Continental Flying Spur are all superb sedans in their own manners, but the German troika define the genre. The previous Lexus LS430 is an astonishingly good car, superior in many ways, but it is just not quite in the class of the Germans when you talk about driving dynamics.
‘07 Lexus RX330 - Most Popular Luxury Sport Utility Vehicle
October 4th, 2006
The ‘07 RX 350 is now arriving at Lexus dealerships and it will replace the 2006 RX 330. It comes with a new 3.5-liter V-6 engine that boosts horsepower to 270 from the 225 horsepower of the previous version, which was known as the RX 330. The brand new numerical designation is a reflection of the increased engine displacement; the RX 330 came with a 3.3-liter engine. Dealers say that even though they rarely had any complaints about the power of the previous model, customers are more then willing to try the extra power of the RX 350.
Monterey Historic Races to feature Toyota/Lexus
August 16th, 2006
As the presenting sponsor of this year’s Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races, Toyota Motor is going all out to bring its motorsports efforts in front of U.S. fans, with the centerpiece of its involvement demonstration runs and paddock displays featuring this year’s TF106 Formula 1 car. (Although Toyota isn’t talking about it, fans expect the car to set a new lap record for Laguna Seca. Could be challenging on the notoriously dusty track - we’ll have to wait and see.)
