In a world dominated by crossovers, manufacturers are struggling to make their own stand out from the crowd. If you’re passively driving down the road, you’d be hard pressed to remember which one you’ve just passed. Lexus basically invented the luxury crossover segment with the RX in the […]
Just over a year ago, we had the opportunity to be one of the first to sample the all-new Lexus NX200t. That vehicle was a pre-production car. This time around, we stepped into a production-ready NX200t F Sport. The luxury crossover segment continues to grow and Lexus has […]
Nearly a decade ago, a small team of Lexus engineers began transforming the rather sedate IS sedan into something…sporty. At the 2007 NAIAS, Lexus officially unveiled the founding F, the IS F, alongside the radical LF-A concept. We had the chance to drive the IS F before it […]
After several years’ hiatus, Lexus has returned to the coupe market. The all new RC enters into competition with the new BMW 4 series, Audi A5, and Cadillac ATS Coupe. Unlike those other two and their 4-door counterparts, the RC doesn’t share its underpinnings with the IS sedan. […]
As we looked back on 2014, two sport sedans stood out as some of the best. The Lexus GS has made several appearances, both in GS350 AWD and GS450h forms, in the Limited Slip Blog garage. Luxury abounds in this Lexus. And with 306hp on tap, there’s plenty […]

The Lexus LX570 is like your grandmother’s parlor: big, leather-clad, and a bit dated. This luxury behemoth packs eight seats and eight cylinders on top of some serious 4×4 capabilities. Debuted in 2007 and refreshed in 2012, this third-generation LX570 is one of Lexus’ two remaining body-on-frame SUVs. […]
Last November, Lexus handed us the keys to a 2014 IS350 all-wheel-drive. We were impressed with handling and the all-new interior. That car left us wondering what else the Lexus IS lineup had to offer. After all, there were a few notable omissions on the spec sheet. Thankfully, […]
For a week in late August, Lexus afforded us the opportunity to be unique, nearly one-of-a-kind. We were the automotive equivalent of a unicorn. To the consumer, we’ve been talked about and reported on, but rarely seen in the wild. Our presence would have even confounded salesmen, had […]
Body-on-frame SUVs are a dying breed; giant, inefficient dinosaurs of the open road. Unibody construction is in vogue. But we have a soft spot in our hears for the stalwarts of body-on-frame construction. This Lexus GX is one of them. Sharing many of its components with the Toyota […]
