On weekends I drove about 100km of road with little traffic. Speed was never faster than 100km/h. Outside temperature about 10°C, winter tyres with normal air pressure. The route has hardly any gradients or gradients, no urban traffic, only longer city passes. At the end stood on the consumption indicator 4.0 liters/100 km. I am aware that the optimal conditions were. I see the hybrid as a diesel set and meets the demand in every respect. Without charge, atkinson cycle and buffer battery as well as power branching, in my opinion, is fully up.

On Friday Lexus Vice President Schrick made the following statement: Lexus has to postpone its sales targets in Germany with planned 10,000 registrations in 2010 to 2011 and 2012 respectively. Two important sports models will be introduced in the next two years.In March, the top version of the IS entry-level series IS-F with V 8 engine and 423 hp will be released.It will be positioned as a direct opponent to the new M 3. Its Vmax is 270 km/h. In 2009 the LF-A comes with 10 cyl. engine and > 500 PS. It is the sporting tip of the future model range. These individual niche models are intended to help the Lexus program to become more accepted. Lexus is still difficult, Schrick admitted.To achieve the target, Schrick announced another wave of investments in all areas. (Source: Automobilwoche online) If you look at the new registrations for the last three months, it can be a fear and a fear. ck. At 285500 total, this corresponds to a market share of 0.001190 %. In 2010, one wanted to achieve 0.3% (10,000) at approx. 3.3 million total market. I fear that this start-up (the 3rd investor strongly supported) will not again lead to the goal. The decisive reason IMO are non-market-compliant products.

Hello together, just discovered:Autonewspaper report Looks very interesting as a new approach.

Hello dear forum colleagues, I’ve been very interested in the really beautiful Lexus LS 600h L lately. How do I find one of the most beautiful top class limousines. Now to my questions, which are certainly easy to answer for you, can you watch TV on the rear RSE system (if during the ride)? Have a nice evening still your Phaeton Individual

Even if the typical Lexus driver is not interested… Are there differences between American and European hybrid versions in engine/gear or other technical features?I noticed the following in various tests:European version: 0-100km/h: 6.6 – 6.9 seconds, tested: Lexus LS600h Tester: AMS, Autozeitung,… 0-100km/h: 5.9-6.5 seconds, tested: GS450h Tester: AMS, Autozeitung,…American version: 0-60mph (94km/h): 5.4 – 5.5 seconds, gete stands: Lexus LS600hL 0-60mph (94km/h): 5.5 seconds, tested: Lexus GS450h Tester (both): Car and Driver, Road and Track I know, mph != km/h , but the 6km/h from 94 to 100km/h should be over in the milli-second range rather than in the tenth-second range with a stepless transmission. Where do these (partly quite drastic) differences come from? Measurement tolerances? Vehicle differences? Test driver- Skill or not able?

Hi A few weeks ago actually the 2008 Lexus GS450h should be ordered by my dad. Since the Lexus dealer had still assured, since he is already ordered. When it was time, we had to make a retreat, because he is probably not yet available. Also the boss of the forum could not give out any information. Does one of you happen to know when the facelift is available? Is there anything on the net? Pre-orders seem not yet possible. a. And there’s a bit of a hurry too. I don’t know why, but I don’t know why. You need a new toy, this time for the 100% own needs Thanks already for the hints Greetings, Heron P.S. Does someone seem to have been working for a Lexus subforum after all….

Hello Lexus-Gemeinde, I had the opportunity to test an IS 250 sport and an IS 220 D (long translation) a week ago. Both vehicles with manual circuit. What struck me in addition to all the positives was that with the diesel variant from 180 km/h I needed a little more start up to more than 200 km/h than with the petrol engine, but the self-ignitioner turned amber up to 230-240 km/h according to Tacho. The Is 250 is indicated at 230 km/h, but usually reached only 220 km/h, only on steep r BAB reached its stated peak, but held it then. The petrol engine had 3500 km, the diesel 8000 km. Did you notice this, or is the petrol engine even faster with increasing mileage? The air conditioning was switched off. The average consumption during my fast test drive was 8.4 ltr. Diesel and 12.3 ltr. Super. The diesel engine seemed to me at 200 km/h quieter than the petrol engine (probably at the speed level). Although the IS 250 sc The Lexus dealer also had a tuned IS diesel with 210 Ps, 470 nm on the yard, that would probably be the better diesel he meant, because of the high vehicle weight.

Hi I found a very curious message on AutoBlog. Parents from Texas named their children after car brands: Lexus, Porsche and Audi. It doesn’t have anything to do with Lexus, but I find the message quite interesting/strange, because I’m going to be a dad next month and I thought my daughter would get an exotic (double) name Here’s the message: Klick Greetings, Heron

So I’m already writing even though I still have the A6 and reserve the Lexus, but I still have to wait 3 weeks until everything is done. The Audi is back in the workshop because of the lamella clutch, paid by Audi, and the A6 goes away Thursday towards Parchim. Then the Audi era is history after 15 years. Have Mercedes tried SEEEEEEEEEE and again SEEEEEEEE. Volvo is ticked and Saab is also and now RIGHT————LEXUS——————– I like this car when putting in, a feeling of comfort, warmth, etc., so no yoghurt cup syndrome. Many many niceties to players, but after the basic version I said luxury equipment is a must. The gasoline with automatic is super quiet and the automatic of the finest, but the engine was not convincing for me where I had my It doesn’t rip me off the stool. The diesel also doesn’t but I don’t want to drive economically and comfortably and important!!! also arrive, which was not always the case with Audi. No matter. I decided: I buy my car in Saxony, is not just around the corner, but a good range of cars and the contact was and is perfect. I expressed my wishes and yesterday evening they were fulfilled. A LEXUS 220 D in the luxury version with navigation. Color black and the leather in Beige, I think that looks good. The car is half a year old and that’s it. Now I have to go to Venice for a little 3 weeks and can’t wait now. That won’t be a short but powerful laaaaange 3 weeks, oh mann! That’s it for now and I think I’ll come back to the forum with a lot of questions.

Have motorkote from the USA (www.motorkote.com) bought with allegedly sensational results (clear fuel saving, running faster, etc.). May I add this, as stated, to the engine or to the automatic transmission of the Lexus LS400 Bj95 (all Toyota oils). Risk? Does anyone know? Would you like to upgrade to car gas this year, then everything gets messed up with enginekote? Risk? Thank you, gkfr.
