I understand that, but I can't help being supremely disappointed in Toyota / Lexus.
Toyota produced (eons ago it feels like) sporty cars like the MR-2, Supra, etc that were actually fun to drive, phenomenal engine in the Supra that could be tuned for immense power and now.....nothing. The FR-S doesn't count. No power.
Lexus has the looks, but nothing to back it up - which is why they disappoint me. Because I really believe they could back it up - if they wanted to. So why not - why not put some punch in your brand - I'm not talking a wholesale revision to your go-to-market strategy...just one car that is exciting and fast. Gets people talking and youth interested in your brand.
LF-A is why I said "almost" everything is underwhelming. But then they went and priced it out of the stratosphere so it was almost unobtainable, so they missed the mark on that one too I believe. But I had hope there for them - I thought it might be the start of something.
I even have hopes for this car - the FI version of this car might very well be something exciting. Time will tell. |
Yeah I get it. Toyota for the most parts just makes reliable, boring cars nowadays.
Here are some pix I took of the LC500. I really liked the looks of it.
