We’ve done this before. That was the thought when the Scion FRS arrived at LSB HQ. Unlike last time, however, this particular FRS was fitted with a 6-speed automatic. There were, admittedly, a few other noticeable differences. First off: the weather. Our first drive of the FRS came […]
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. […]
The 2015 Auto Show press days have wrapped. Thousands of weary journalists, and “journalists” are heading home. We’re hoping to head home soon too. But before we do, we’ll catch you up on the big news of Day 2. Hyundai HCD-15 “Santa Cruze” Targeting the new generation of buyers, Hyundai […]
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 […]

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 Camaro is a big car. With a large-displacement V8 up front, it tips the scales at almost two tons. The wide track, long doors, and low roofline make it difficult to get in or out in a tight parking spot. Sharp, straight edges and flat panels add […]
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, […]
