Car Forum / Lexus Cars / March 2008Lexus Going Nowwhere Fast in Japan
Not that the average American Lexus buyer could give a damn, but Toyota's luxury division has singularly failed to gain traction outside the U.S. market. Which is exactly the point: Americans are far less bothered by issues of provenance (i.e. or lack thereof) than any other developed automotive market. Business Week reports that the analysis applies to Lexus' home turf. "When Toyota (TM) introduced its Lexus brand in Japan three years ago, the company was hoping drivers like Masayoshi Haku woul...

Learn to use carriage returns. 2. So what? Europeans look at Mercedes the same way. Lexus was designed with American drivers' preference in mind. You know, the soft Buick ride. It's going to be a long and difficult turnaround for GM, so if you need a Buick before then just buy a Lexus. Mercedes, BMW, and Mini have the "heritage factor" that's important with the picky Japanese customers that Lexus simply can't match.

And how in the f.ck would YOU know THAT? You Japanese? That's the biggest line of hogwash I've heard yet. And BEING Japanese and LIVING in Japan, I can tell you your full of sh.t. How do I know? Reading business news of course. Just because you are live in japan doesn't mean you know squat. For all I know, a little dimwit like you you may actually be living in a mental institution. http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/2/5/business/20196049&sec=bu siness "Japan sold 61,116 BMW and MINI vehicles, falling short of the 2006 record-breaking volume by 1.7%.

Taxis in Europe are Benzes for christs sake. Are you naturally retarded or did mommy drop you on your dumbass pumpkin head by mistake? Max I must certainly compliment you! You state you are Japenese and live in Japan. Yet you have a command of the English vernacular which is amazing! Now if only your fellow Japanese Lexus engineers were as good at designing cars as you are at swearing .... > Max I must certainly compliment you! You state you are Japenese and > live in Japan.
