This is based on the Toyota Alphard, which is also a luxury minivan in its own right, but not sold outside of Japan.

I can't stand the newer Lexus designs with the gigantic front grille.
:rage

This one is particularly ugly. I want to see the grille on the Hybrid version because there would be no reason for it and would actually hurt air flow (and effect MPG) if the grille is so large.

Is lexus even a status symbol anymore?

Is lexus even a status symbol anymore?
Yes.
Buick, Acura, and Infinity are considered the premium brand. Lexus is considered above that.

Who is that thing for?
I don‘t want to drive that thing because it is hideous.
Sure, it looks like it’s comfortable in the back, but if I had a chauffeur, I for sure wouldn’t buy a rebranded Toyota. And it‘s still hideous.

Ya ya, Deutsche das gut automobile. Lasst uns fahrt nieder das Autobahn in unserer Mercedes Tourenwagen, mein führer.

I recently told a friend of mine to buy a Kia because you get more for your money and they have a better warranty and reliability. :stahp
I am currently facing treason charges.

True story, the Benz has been my dream car brand since early childhood. Then my sister bought a pre-owned E320 and it was a lemon. I don't enjoy their newer designs that much though.

But where would you poop?
the car comes equipped with a poop propulsion system that tosses your poo at the peasants outside.

I love the new Mercedes CLA, it‘s beautiful :tocry
My lease for my current car expires soonish and it‘s currently my favorite.

The original CLS made me feel all types of ways

Can we make this the official bire car thread?
-
there already is one, it's just dead

So this shit propulsion system, is it like a catapult or a hose? I've tried looking for details on their site but couldn't find anything.
The Lexus LM will be offered in two models (LM 350 and LM 300h) and two drive types (front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive). Availability will vary by market. The LM 350 uses a 3.5-liter DOHC petrol engine and LM 300h leverages the 2.5-liter Atkinson four-cylinder engine and hybrid system.
If you're asking for the transmission system, Lexus uses CVTs for their hybrids and most of their automatics right now.

I'm afraid I was full of shit when I wrote that.

I did want to make a supercar/hypercar thread, but I was worried no one but me and Leadbelly would post in it. And he's barely ever posting.
-
I changed my mind on this car, you could play vidya and jack off while parking without having to resort to the vita and nobody would call the cops.

You just reminded me of the time I dated a Chinese golddigger girl and she was like "Acura... it's not quite a Lexus but it's pretty nice". :-\

Lexus is just a push toyota now

Lexus thing is stupid but I’d be ok with my Uberx pulling up in. Put the fkn screen up mr. ‘known for good conversation.’
Actually looks like an ok chauffeur vehicle.

The reaction to a Lexus here is like.
- So you didn’t have enough money for a Mercedes or BMW?
Foreign luxury cars are just super rare.
-
Brehs,which car would you go for?
Audi S3 Sedan
BMW M2
Mercedes AMG CLA 35
Kia Stinger. (That one wasn‘t on my radar but I saw it at a Kia dealership and liked it a lot)
Any other ideas for cars with.more than 300hp under 50k?
-
Buy an ev and dont be a loser
1. Better for the planet
2. Pull of at the lights like a boss and leave ice virgins choking on their own fumes
-
Seriously though just get a tesla kenny.
-
That is supposed to be my car to have fun driving around in and it’s just practical enough to put a child seat in there.
My wife drives the family car and only for that would I consider a hybrid.
The infrastructure for electric cars just isn’t there in Germany. And the car makers will fight that it won’t improve in the near future IMO.
-

500km effective range. Probably less than that under real conditions. :stahp
And the sound. :fbm
-
do you drive more than 500km in a day?

If you are interested in the Kia Stinger, I'd look at the Genesis G70. It's a smaller car, but the interior is nicer, and it's in a sedan/saloon form vs. the liftback the Stinger has.
-
Thats some weak arguments kenny. Really. I mean u charge at home and thats 99% of your driving there.
Unless you drive more then 500km often its a total non issue.
If id lived in Germany id have a tesla, alas due to dania
sh prices I paid 40k for a hybrid :doge
-
No, but sometimes I visit relatives in Poland and that‘s a 1200km road trip. I enjoy being on the road that long, so having to find a charging station and having to wait sucks.
And sometimes I want to drive more than 500km when I want to spend a weekend at the beach or do some hiking or mountainbiking.
And I‘m super OCD about the sound of the car. That’s why I don’t really consider an electric car.
-
I believe this car is only meant for Asian markets. There is a much bigger emphasis on rear seats in China, I'm guessing because if you can afford a foreign car there then you're rich enough to hire a driver.
And I guess they take more fashion risks over there too. To me, it just looks like a whale with braces.

This is actually a rebadge of the Toyota Alphard.

Custom sprinter > this

Genesis G70 looks nice, looking forward to test drive that one.
I love shopping for cars, I spend entire weekends at car dealerships. :doge

Is there a reason why you aren't going for a wagon/estate?
-
We already own one. :doge
And this should just be a fun car to drive with the bare minimum of practicability. I want at least 300 HP and then it gets pricey for bigger cars.

The taxi that helped me during my move to a new apartment two weeks ago was an Alphard. That was a seriously sweet ride.
-
Who is that thing for?
Uber drivers, I guess.

Wow I googled it and wow, its really just a rebadge, not even juat based on like other cars in the lexus toyota family.

Fair play Kenny :)
I also have ti drive 1200km to see family in Poland sometimes, but Im ocd about the enviroment instead of sound, so a few breaks along the way are a small price to pay. Also I think the hum and silence of an ev is sexy.
For me the reason why I didnt buy an ev last time is because they didn't have towing capacity in my 40k price range. Luckily that is now changing and cara like the Niro E will have towing capacity.

a van that only seats four people :lol :lol :lol
this a tall ass car :lol

That's the 4 seat option, there's a tradtional 7 seat option for families that. The 4 seater is for chauffeuring around rich people.

how are toyota's current designs somehow even trashier than they were in the 90's?

The chintzy analog clock might be the aspect that disturbs me the most.

A sports car is like a minivan for just one person.
