Is 8 Speeds really too much? no, not really, says lexus...and now BMW

LexusKindaGuy12 submitted on 4/14/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 9:02:36 PM

We were all happy with the 6 speed transmissions that appeared a few years back for performance and efficiency. Then MB released a 7 speed auto making the 6 speed look obsolete and BMW driver’s green with envy. Read More

Car Magazine UK reviews IS-F. More positive than negatives...

LexusKindaGuy12 submitted on 2/14/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 2:39:21 PM

"The new Lexus IS-F performance flagship arrives here this April primed to take on its BMW M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG rivals. Even its £51,000 price tag (M3 £50,725, C63 AMG £52,567) puts it deep into enemy territory. Read More

Proof that Lexus Image is On Par with Mercedes: LS600H in Official Use

LexusKindaGuy12 submitted on 2/7/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 1:16:33 PM

The other article about the S400 hybrid got a lot of people talking about the downsides of the LS600HL and how the S class is going to beat it, even with its 0-60 time of 7 seconds and combined mileage of just 5 more than the LS. What some people have written is that the LS is a failure, but what im writing about is to prove that many important people in the world dont think so. Read More

Another Positive Review of the IS-F

LexusKindaGuy12 submitted on 10/31/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 12:20:50 AM

Conventional wisdom would dictate that the growling, 416-hp IS-F signals some kind of directional change for the silky and mellow Lexus brand, but let us explain why this car does no such thing. One of the pillars of the Toyota Way is "No Waste," expressed in everything from its just-in-time supply chain to its legendary mandate that company executives sharpen their pencils all the way down to the erasers.

Car and Driver review IS-F

LexusKindaGuy12 submitted on 10/24/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 2:33:18 AM

This first F (there’ll be more Lexus models with the F treatment soon, most likely) is a V-8–powered sledgehammer that rockets to 60 mph in 4. 2 seconds—fleeter by 0. Read More

Edmunds Insideline's take on IS-F

LexusKindaGuy12 submitted on 10/24/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 1:50:18 AM

Rather than shoehorning a 5. 0-liter V8 into the nose of an IS 350 and simply calling it the IS 500, Lexus has instead cooked up a far more dedicated sport sedan with its new 2008 Lexus IS-F. Read More

2007 Lexus IS 250 with X Package and Manual Trans. >>>Beats 335i in slalom<<<

LexusKindaGuy12 submitted on 6/15/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 10:21:57 PM

The X Package improvements also translate to the track, as our slalom test confirms. Although it's down over 100 hp on the IS 350, the IS 250 is nearly 4 mph faster through the cones with a 70. Read More

LS600hl at the Toyota's Arizona Proving Grounds

LexusKindaGuy12 submitted on 5/17/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 11:30:47 PM

Wanting to show off the new all-wheel drive 2008 Lexus LS 600hL, and the state-of-the-art, 4,800 hectare TAPG facility (including a whopping 16-kilometre banked oval), Toyota opened the gates to the press a few weeks before launching the LS 600hL. What's there? The oval (you can't miss that), and a 2. Read More

Car and Driver: LS600H L actually does well?

LexusKindaGuy12 submitted on 4/26/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 7:00:56 PM

I, even being a lexus fan, thought that the LS600H L was a big disapointment. Edmunds gave it a pretty bad review, that showed equal performance to the LS460 in 0-60 times and worse economy; for me, this wasnt the benchmark of the luxury segment. Read More
