About the brand Lexus

Company Lexus - is a Japanese company to produce cars. It is the arm of Toyota Motors Corporation. The specialization of the company is to supply vehicles to the U.S. market. Machines of this brand combines three main components: comfort, style and quality.

So the qualitative work of the engine and transmission, combined with improved suspension makes Lexus perfectly manageable and smooth run. Lexus LS 400 - the first car company, released in June 1985. In May 1986, he was full crash test in Germany. It was only in January 1989 was presented at the auto show in Detroit and Los Angeles. Finally, in September 1989, began selling cars in the United States. The appearance of the machine was not similar to the Japanese brands, as it originally did, focusing on the American market. It seemed that the design of the car were involved Italian designers.Upon expiration of the time all the speculation proved to be true, as has appeared more than a new car Lexus GS300 with its streamlined body, the creator of which was Giorgetto Giugiaro. One of the most prestigious models of the company is a sports sedan GS 300 3T, which has boosted engine. The engine was made by the Cologne branch of the firm Motosport Toyota. In 1990 Lexus LS 400 was declared the best media imported into the U.S. auto, thanks to powerful engines and efficiency.In 1991 he was released in series with the index Lexus SC 400 (coupe), for the North American market. This was the type of export Toyota Soarer, but in 1998, all differences with her almost disappeared. This list could continue for a long time, so the finish on the last model. This SUV RX 300, which the company showed at Lexus Auto Show in Detroit, which took place just a few days. This model has received many updates, and now it has become more and more of his predecessor and was named Lexus RX 330. It appeared more modern and dynamic.

Lexus LX 570: The syndrome GulliverA















The first minutes on the road in the new Lexus LX 570, which became even more of its predecessor, you feel a giant among Lilliputians. Even stranger beside a truck initially appeared TIR "Gazelle". It is convenient if such a giant in the city crowds and traffic jams? Standing next Toyota Land Cruiser 200 and Lexus LX 570 to confuse simple. As in the first generation model LX, its creators did not seek to change the car beyond recognition. On the contrary, athleticism and power "dvuhsotki" only emphasize "cheat" rounded forms Lexus. Partly because of the LX 570 it seems even more than it actually is. Although in size it is even inferior to its competitors or Infiniti QX56 Cadillac Escalade.Completing the car, specialists Lexus tried to make life easier for the driver. When parking help him not only to rear and front parking, and rear view camera. However, in the front bumper - only two sensor parking, located on the edges. Therefore, when a dense obstacle in front of the entrance to the need to focus only on its own oschuscheniya.No as soon as you start to get angry at the awkwardness of the machine, immediately notice and pleasant moments. Not only the "Tavria", "Lada" and tormented taxi drivers "Lanos", which has ignored the expensive cars, to the big Lexus is viewed with apprehension. Yes, cars and drivers of premium-class show respect: waiting for You will leave with a parking lot, give way when you rebuild ... What's his love hijackers! On parting with the LX 570, even heart aches at the thought: Will I see him on the spot an hour?

Everything just

Interior of the car for a second does not question the social status of the owner. A huge set of actuators and additional features, management regimes wheel drive and suspension, a touch screen on-board communicator ... This is easily understood and managed by the buttons and levers that do not bend and does not interfere to drive. A thick manual is bored in a leather case nevostrebovannoy.Ne cheated and passengers - even to adjust the second row of seats along the length equipped with electric drive, and on the ceiling before the "guests» LX 570 - a separate multimedia complex. The third row seats easily placed and removed, although such a premium-car aesthetic would have been if he still hiding in the underground. In the cabin is very quiet, but audible indication of rotation included nearly inaudible. Flaw!

And fun?

Pay for this comfort and versatility have pleasure of control! Rudder quite insensible, and the body is so isolated from the chassis, which sometimes is not sure where the car is coming. Although such a tall SUV and should not be well rulitsya, because under the rear bumper from him - a continuous bridge. Hydropneumatic suspension, of course, effectively keeps the car, but to sports here now daleko.A motor still outstanding, and the transmission to match. In the "Sport" 6-speed Lexus ACTs this way shustro accelerated (7.5 s and "hundreds"), though it weighs just three tons, and one. True, and fuel consumption in this mode the drive - even more than the stated two dozen liters. However, the owner LX 570 increase in the cost of petrol at petrol stations should be not only frustrating, as leads to the thought of lucrative oil business.
