  • Lexus goes electric??.

    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.

  • General questions about CT and Lexus at all

    Good evening, at the moment I drive a 2008 Honda Civic FK3. A vehicle that hides the one or the other in itself which is annoying, but all in all a round concept with acceptable consumption for its performance. Now I have seen the new CT 200h and fell in love. Brochure (the thick) I already got worried. However, I have one or the other question, apart from the fact that I want to drive the Civic at least 2 – 3 years. (…) Lexus is no premium brand. Is that the cost of maintenance? So insurance and tax? What would the CT200h actually have to be tax-free? Besides, I ask myself what it looks like with the normal workshop prices? So for oil changes and inspections. Since I drive at least 30,000 km a year, the cost-effectiveness question also arises. From the stated consumption the Lexus would be far superior to my Honda, which I do not get under 5.7 liters of diesel. Has anyone bought the CT? How is d he satisfaction? What about the Lexus dealers (Toyota), is the premium claim also synonymous with the discount, house price, etc. Foreign words? I ask for numerous, if possible objectively usable information. Thank you.

  • Security settings at the GS 450h

    it’s nice to have all kinds of electronics crap in the car if it would only make sense to use it. Who can tell me how to operate the display of the navigator, phone while driving. As soon as the car rolls, neither phone nor nav can be controlled from the screen. Do I try the language mode, often comes the announcement, “no voice tag available” whatever that is? Can anyone help me? Thanks, romos

  • Heavy noises from loudspeakers

    We have been driving a Lexus RX 300 EZ for almost three years: 2005 and are very happy overall. Since Friday afternoon the loudspeakers come out of the sound system when switching on crack or banging noises. Strangely enough, these sounds come even if you press any button of the infotainment system. At times these sounds came even when I took the reverse gear and switched on the rear camera. We have nothing to do with the The vehicle is used every year at the Lexus garage for inspection. Maybe someone knows a similar problem or has a tip what it might be. For answers we would be very grateful.

  • Supposedly no smaller winter tyres for our Lexus NX

    Good morning, we have chosen a Lexus NX 350h F Sport. Now I asked my well-known tyre seller if the what good has in 18h for me. He now meant to me, according to the fzg nr 7104 AAJ, he can not carry 18h. Only 20h. Now I wanted to know if someone has had experience? Since the luxury line, always delivered with 18h, only the F Sport. Are there differences? Or will my tyre dealer possibly not have all available options. So far I can rely on him very much, because he is also in the circle of friends. That’s why I wanted to ask here if someone has had the same experience, or if the 18-thirty can carry. I don’t have the Fzg ticket here yet, but as far as I know, can every car carry at least 2 numbers smaller? Greetings

  • Buying advice Lexus GS 300 3. Gen

    Hello community, this is my first post, and I hope to soon become an active member of the community! I am 23 years old, come from Cologne, Germany, and have had my driver’s license for five years. Although I have not had my own car yet, I have been travelling regularly with my parents’ car. I work full-time and therefore have a certain budget available. I also want to learn to screw myself on the car, and gather my first experiences with a GS 300. I drive daily to work 50km (2x25km) and once a month 600km. My budget is up to +-6k€. What repair costs should I expect? I am looking for a Lexus GS 300 of the 3rd generation. I have already looked at all available vehicles within a radius of 200km online and telephoned with dealers. My favourites: Car 1:https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/…/2985279100-216-12929 Data: 2nd hand, 240.000 km, 4.800 € (VB), BJ 2006 Advantages: – Good history – New TÜV Disadvantages : – No parking sensors & no leather seats – The seller has only had the car for a month. His reason: his wife can only buy automatic, therefore. The car did not like the woman because it is too big. I have something to consider, because I think maybe he bought a bad car and just wants to get rid of it. What do you think? Auto 2:https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/…/3001871624-216-25077 Dates: 3. Hand, 252,000km, 6000 VB€, BJ 2006 Advantages: – Seller has a complete service booklet and many inspection reports – Nice seller Disadvantages: – slightly more expensive – color not so appealing I look forward to your opinions and perhaps even to offers!

  • Lexus NX consumption highway

    Hello dear Lexus friends Fuel consumption highway at over 140 kmh After a very long search the choice remains with the Lexus (Toyota) . Seems to be that it is the only cars on which you can rely from the quality. The NX 350 h is a little too expensive for me and therefore I want to buy the older version by 2021. I was never a hybrid driver and drive hardly under 140 kmh on the highway. How much does the NX 300 consume with constant drive of 140 -150 kmh ???? Only one video have I found and there 14 liters are displayed.. In addition three times a year I have my motorcycle on the trailer and drive over Austria to the south. My question is whether the NX with trailer with somewhat mountainous highway (100 kmh) constantly, because of the CVT gear will roar ?? I am very grateful about all honest answers

  • Lexus NX PHEV purchase advice

    Hello, I have no idea about Lexus. Now I want to take a look at an NX. A PLugInHybrid. I already drive a PHEV and know what I’m getting into. What should I look for and what can be left out of Lexus. How does the PHEV drive? With my Ford PHEV the interaction of the engines works very well. But you can hear the burner sometimes quite clearly, especially at higher speeds and during braking you can hear clearly the sound of the recuperation . What is the electric and gasoline consumption?

  • Buying tips for UX 250h annual car?

    I plan to buy a compact SUV. At the top of the wish list is the Lexus UX 250h ~2023, i.e. with touchscreen. The completely new UX 300h is not yet financially in question. I have already spent hours with the online user car market and the online configurator (yes, already UX 300h). I also drove a late 2021’s UX 250h (without touchscreen). Is there something I should pay attention to when choosing a vehicle if I need a suitable vehicle at a Lexus forum? Do I have to look at a potential vulnerability? Are there typical but unsightly traces of use? Do you have any tips?
