Demand in the midsize luxury SUV segment, however, has tanked in recent years and so far this year sales have dropped more than 52%.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioNR6GOSyzIDyoUpTUsOhID5AQrzvfJQzTzoxyfUoSSqLYoVODYDR30F4SIzEwuwVEckgDaa9VFFkb7CelZua6SrMW7RaXMFfcG2XjqO_xQtJHxO12LZLdmfAEyzNzYLb2MtwN_QdOTUU/s1600-h/2010-lexus-gx-460-spy-shots_100228503_l.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380879327946548578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioNR6GOSyzIDyoUpTUsOhID5AQrzvfJQzTzoxyfUoSSqLYoVODYDR30F4SIzEwuwVEckgDaa9VFFkb7CelZua6SrMW7RaXMFfcG2XjqO_xQtJHxO12LZLdmfAEyzNzYLb2MtwN_QdOTUU/s400/2010-lexus-gx-460-spy-shots_100228503_l.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 260px;" /></a><br />While many rivals may soon start pulling out of the segment altogether, Lexus intends to stick it out by launching a redesigned GX. The latest model is expected to feature all-new sheet metal as well as a 310 horsepower 4.6-liter V-8 in replacement of the current model’s anaemic 263 horsepower 4.7-liter V-8. This new 4.6-liter engine, incidentally, is the same unit used in the 2010 Toyota Tundra.<br /><br /><center><class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7Qv9wZOThI1BskkapgdIyj4TrkPEwqXyLG3pOfRGYFsrmXtQAW-_Shb6TWNggHaPjcrCECvYM17KulYhRh3l4fm8JIbbTiI00PK7AyroAZTpQddCLkJqhQ7BVk8Xv9LjqGScoW359Ao/s1600-h/2010-lexus-gx-460-spy-shots_100228508_l-750680.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380875263131085618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7Qv9wZOThI1BskkapgdIyj4TrkPEwqXyLG3pOfRGYFsrmXtQAW-_Shb6TWNggHaPjcrCECvYM17KulYhRh3l4fm8JIbbTiI00PK7AyroAZTpQddCLkJqhQ7BVk8Xv9LjqGScoW359Ao/s320/2010-lexus-gx-460-spy-shots_100228508_l-750680.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 235px;" /></a></class="mobile-photo"></center><br />The current body-on-frame platform will remain, but expect radically different styling as well as a redesigned rear door. The interior will also be fully updated, with more luxurious trim and an updated navigation system coming as standard.<br /><br />The new GX will likely be called the GX 460 and bow in towards the end of the year as a 2010 model, most likely with a debut at the 2009 Los Angeles auto show in November.<br />Source:<a href="http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1035153_spy-shots-2010-lexus-gx-460-suv">motorauthority</a><br /><br /></span><p>

The 168mph (270km/h) rear-wheel drive sports sedan that is powered by a 417HP 5.0-liter V8 engine will replace the current Subarus employed by the Roads Crime Section.

In the past this equipment has placed huge demands on vehicles but the Lexus IS-F easily met with our requirements," Peck concluded.<br />via:<a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/07/boys-in-blue-acquire-lexus-is-f-v8.html">carscoop</a><br /><br /></span><p>

Autocar first to get a crack at wheeltime in the Lexus LF-A. Sort of.

Or at least six years. It's been shown in three different concept forms, including a convertible, at auto shows since 2005 and it has twice participated in the Nürburgring 24. <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><img alt="" height="266" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/lf-a_n2409_exterior_4-1280.jpg" width="400"></center><p>　</center><br /><br />Like the race car, the road car will weigh 1500kg – the rollcage and racing kit weight the same as a road car interior. That means 550bhp and 1500kg, which means 366.6bhp per tonne, only a fraction less than the 373bhp per tonne of the Ferrari 599. So it’s quick, then, with a capital Q.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><img alt="" height="267" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/lf-a_n2409_detail_2-1280.jpg" width="400"></center><br /><br />Down the back straight it feels a) very, very quick beyond 5000rpm, b) sounds absolutely fantastic at 8300rpm, and c) accelerates so violently towards the still soaking wet horizon that it’s not long before I bale out and brush the brakes, at which point it becomes equally obvious how well it stops.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><img alt="" height="268" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/lf-a_n2409_detail_5-1280.jpg" width="400"></center><br /><br />The V10 apparently really comes to life above 5,000 rpm. If (and that's a really big if) the LF-A is produced, it might only be a limited run of 500 units. Given Toyota's losses and the current economic environment, it's anyone's guess whether it'll happen, but we may find out at the Tokyo Motor Show this fall.

And that's exactly what Lexus is doing with its new campaign for the 2010 IS C retractable hardtop convertible.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />Partnering with ABC.com, YouTube, UrbanDaddy.com and Brash Media, Lexus is making it plain that they are really going for the gusto with the younger crowd. The ads themselves depict this as well, with a 'Live a little...a lot' tagline, titles like 'Hop In', 'Running', 'Look Out' and 'Scream', high-speed driving and girls in sun dresses chasing each other.<br /><br />On the other hand, the company could just be trying to inject a bit of youth into their brand image, helping baby boomers to feel more like a part of the younger generation than the NCIS-watching retirement home crowd.<br /><br />Whatever the reason, the ads themselves are entertaining.
