Staking its claim in 1999 with the RX300, Lexus cornered the midsize luxury SUV market. For three generations, the RX has kept up with consumer demands. Today, there’s plenty of competition from the likes Acura, Audi, and Cadillac seeking to beat the Lexus RX at its own game. […]
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. […]
The transformation from the previous generation to the all-new 2015 Hyundai Genesis is eye opening. Exactly a year ago, I had just completed a week in the 2013 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec. That Genesis, the first generation, was awash in luxury features but didn’t quite live up to the […]
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 […]
With all the different things going on around the show floor, we’re bound to skip over a few things. This is where we can share cars that aren’t as new, didn’t make our recap, or are just plain photo-worthy. Once you’ve read our Day 1 and Day 2 […]
Limited Slip Blog was founded just over two years ago. For those of you that have been with us long enough to remember, our first review came a few months later when Hyundai provided us with a Genesis Coupe 2.0T. We, being a young and ambitious duo, decided […]
The luxury hybrid segment is not going to set any sales records. That being said, after driving the Lexus GS450h for a week, I’m not really sure why. A complete package of fuel efficiency, sportiness and luxury has not, to my mind, been offered better. Let’s start with […]
