2010 Kelly Blue Book Best Resale Value Award

August 30th, 2010

That Lexus would take home Kelley Blue Book’s first Best Resale Value Award for top luxury brand should come as a shock to no one. In the 20 years since Lexus sold its first car, Toyota’s luxury division has built a reputation for quality that’s positively unmatched in the industry. And it’s not just the cars; Lexus owners frequently cite the dealership experience as a key component to their satisfaction and one of the reasons their next car will sport the same circle-L badge. Recently, Lexus has begun to build upon its foundation of quality by infusing its lineup with more style and performance. Lexus also offers more hybrid models than any other automaker.

Fuel Facts

June 30th, 2010

Each gallon of gas represents about 124,000 British thermal units, which is roughly equal to the amount of electrical energy the average U.S. family consumes in a day.

Lexus LFA Supercar Spotted… in Red

June 21st, 2010

When Lexus first unveiled its LFA supercar, the V10-powered exotic was painted a pristine white – a popular choice for modern high-performance vehicles from the BMW M3 to Porsche GT3. The next time the LFA made an appearance, it was at the SEMA Show. Assuming just one vehicle was in pr…oduction, we expected to see all 552-hp of Japanese awesomeness in the same white coat, but were excited to behold a ferocious matte-black monster. Since then, both white and black cars have appeared at everything from the LA Auto Show to the Detroit Auto Show.Recently, however, several shots of a red LFA have surfaced, as well as some video of the car being tested by Japanese journalists.There’s nothing new to tell, but plenty to look at.

When Is It Time to Wax My Vehicle?

June 7th, 2010

How do you know when it’s time to apply a fresh layer? When you wash your Lexus, the water should roll off the finish “like water off a duck’s back.” If the water clings—drying and leaving spots—that means you’re due for a fresh wax. When reapplying, don’t limit yourself to just waxing the painted areas; plastic components and headlight covers also benefit from the UV protection that wax provides.
