The United States is Lexus's largest market. Exporting more expensive cars to America is why Toyota created the Lexus brand in the first place. It's rare that Lexus would develop a car without plans to offer it stateside. Only two current Lexus models are not sold in the United States. One of them is the LM, which is a very JDM-looking luxury hybrid minivan. The other is the LBX.

 

The LBX is a super-small city crossover. Such a car normally wouldn't rouse major interest from American car enthusiasts. However, the Lexus LBX has a track-focused Morizo RR edition that would be one of the first names on any American forbidden fruit list. The LBX is essentially a fancier Lexus version of Toyota's coolest hot hatch. And it can come, incredibly enough in 2025, with a six-speed manual transmission.
