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.

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".

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!

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.

Study the article is a comparative test in Avtorevyu. Chestno speaking my opinion - Article arrogance, by the way is called there is statya.Dumayu pure order-reklama.Lexus almost last-surprising predictions uzhas.Samoe readers vpechatlyayut.lexus - 49%, Volvo - 32 %, cadillac - 11%, Hundai - 8%. 22 000 votes chelovek.Pri this very magazine put the following estimates - Hundai - 1 seat, Volvo -2, lexus -3, Cadillac -4 sootvetstvenno.Vy think this is true? I Went to the Genesis. Appearance is very confused, and took from each brand on chyuchyut. The lounge leather everywhere, but there is charm and sense of belonging to the elite business class. In life would not have bought the genesis for such money. I'm not saying it's bad, but it lacks zest. Now Genesis is not the same rival BMW and Mercedes. He went on lexus GS300. The first thing that strike the eye, so this small space. Difficult to sit back. Formula if 2 +2. Four-door coupe for the young. But most of all struck skrepyaschaya front panel. Manager Lexus has found 10 reasons to explain this and that creaking leave. Not a very pleasant ride in the car, which squeaks. This is not a Lada. Volvo S80 - a fairy tale.

Lexus and BMW compete for the U.S.

2009-12-06T20:42:00.000-08:00

In the U.S. the undisputed market leader in terms of sales in recent years was the Lexus. Second place in the ranking are occupied by BMW. But this year the usual state of affairs seems to have changed.Over the past from the beginning of 2009, eight months, Lexus sold only 2,293 cars more than the BMW. If this trend remains unchanged, it will be very little difference in sales of other premium brands since 2002. In addition, Lexus has lagged behind its main rivals (BMW) within five months of this year: from March to July. And only in August sales, which surpassed the sales of BMW at the 3660 units, allowed the Japanese brand to come forward.During July, sales of BMW declined by 28% or 33 936 units, while Lexus has fallen by 42% or almost 40 000 cars. If you take the number of sold cars for seven months in the context of the most popular models, sales of BMW 3-Series fell 24%, and the sedan 5-series - 15%. Their direct competitors IS and ES both showed regression in 36% and GS 350 - by 60%. The "Five» BMW in popularity among buyers for seven months has surpassed its rival GS five times. The Bavarian carmaker also benefited from sales and 1-Series, which has no direct competitor for Lexus.And that's what the Japanese did not concede to their competitors, so it is in the sales of crossovers. Facelift RX has undergone over the past seven months, showed a sales decline of 4%, while the X3 and X5 have become less popular at 70% and 21% respectively over the same period of time. Incidentally, sales of cars - a very serious factor. It showed the best result in this nomination draws a lot of advantages.First, profits won first place lies in the fact that increases the credibility of the brand and, as a consequence, it becomes easier to sell cars. Secondly, the winner in this commercial race will be another advantage in terms of further progress in the market. It is psychologically easier to buy a car, if it is pasted a label "best", "most popular", "number one", etc. But the sellers are bound to enjoy it such epithets.Thirdly, since the calendar year coming to an end, and BMW and Lexus will use whatever marketing tricks, will spend the last dollar out of the advertising budget, just to get a potential client, in order to finish the year at the top. That's good, because the aggressive marketing actions will certainly lower the price that the consumer is always a plus. Finally, such a competition like BMW - Lexus, will be an occasion for both companies to grow, move forward, which again would only plus the whole industry in general and customers in particular, not only in the United States but also abroad.

Lexus LX 470

2009-11-30T02:23:00.001-08:00

I ask the readers - like-minded people to be complacent in my reasoning - do not judge strictly!Adjusted fuel consumption (please remember, that is 4-station automatic): In the summer PETROL highway / city - 18/24, GAS - 19,5 / 25. On the track at a speed of 120-140, 140-160 - gas already 22! City - one million, with traffic jams.In early November, made regular and seasonal MOT: replacing rubber - set winter Velcro DUNLOP, checked the spark - the rules! Although passed 30 000 km! replaced oil 6,5 l of 8 liters (take 2 cans Shell 5W40, 1 cun at 1050 rubles, the filter oil at 250 USD, an air filter (changed every 20 000 km) to 300 rubles. Must shpritsovka cardanic (each MOT-2 -- through 9 - 10 tkm) - myself, because what he saw as trying to shalyavit the service station. And, in general, standing nearby, although servismeny this oh-how do not like! "But, after my previous car Nissan presage 1999 . in. almost flew off the wheels after visiting the station on replacing brake pads on a circle - I'm always with the car in rem zone, and let me say something!. is not verified, not verified, but they have not tightened the wheel nuts. This trouble I have found over 1500 km from home, nuts swirled his hands - well, wheels have not yet tapped! came - said they were perplexed, I have already blown the good, because it took almost 3 weeks!
Increasingly I think about installing the Absolute. With this device will add TV (antenna Bosch 1-pin.) By changing the step radio, and will be even and odd-wave stations, antenna, Bosch, besides this, there is a GSM antenna for hundreds of phones. Accommodate the extra DVD with USB (for watching movies and listening to music with a stick), found a place - sacrifice ashtray (the more so because I do not smoke) and a cigarette lighter - the most wonderful place for the second DVD! There will be additional video inputs - for rear view camera and still be able to signal from the GPS-receiver to send staff to monitor! It is necessary to find a place in the walkie-talkie; wave AM15S on the track is very helpful! Already tried!
Wanted to add on edge about the ubiquitous theme about the operation of gas.I tried to drive after the gas at 92 - is not coming! Tried by 95 - even worse. Tucked 98 - SUPER! And, indeed: on octane number (for gas - 102-108) for the gas coming only 98, with OA = 98. But, sorry, its price - 26 rubles! Gas is now in Omsk you can refuel 9-50. Those who like to check my puzzles: I plan for the year to get 50 000 km, cf. = 24l/100km consumption of gasoline, gas = 25.

Lexus Cars

2009-11-30T02:21:00.000-08:00

Lexus Cars rightly called the best creation of Toyota, which combines luxury, excellence and technical achievement, and work on the creation of this machine was carried out very carefully for many years. If you consider the Lexus in terms of security of lives, he did out of competition.So, if you currently want to buy really perfect car, be sure to turn your attention to the Lexus. So, what distinguishes us from many other car in terms of reliability? First of all, it should be noted that when buying this machine, you get: all-wheel drive with locking differential on all four wheels and the evolution of car safety, such as: exchange rate stability, the system comfortable braking system protivoskolzheniya (protivoprobuksovki), anti-lock braking system cruise control, I think, now you understood why this car is practically never enters a particularly dangerous bend in the road. Now a few words about the appearance of this machine: There was just that, and the elegance of all the lines that give the image of completeness: guess intriguing grace, strength and comfort, while grace is fully compatible with the highest level of comfort and reliability.Now a few words about the car's interior design: first of all, you have to appreciate its elegance and simplicity with wooden inserts and color, deserve special attention with heated seats, while, the salon is equipped with airbags, which are located around the entire interior (front, side, rear and top), to minimize the risk of injury in the accident. A few words about the advantages of such an arrangement of airbags: frontal collision at the feet of front passengers can traumatize on dashboard and steering column, it had been provided knee airbags, in addition, they restrict the movement of the body in the collision, which reduces the likelihood of injuries of the head and torso . Those who once traveled in these cars will be able to confirm how quietly in their showrooms, as well as the silence with which they go on the road, and there are quite a logical explanation: the streamlined podkuzovnye panels improve aerodynamic efficiency, which makes the car faster, more economical and certainly more quiet. Lexus cars are focused on a certain class of customers: affluent and demanding, a very respectable appearance. The machine turns match for their owners: it is equipped with a richer, and appears to us more reliable and quality manufacture than many rivals from the premium, in addition, it is worth noting the high security settings, and comfort, which in turn is achieved using the most advanced technologies. Let the number of statistics: for example, 1993 ... he was very productive for the company, as sales volume Lexus Cars has overtaken the United States of its German rivals - BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but very close, fresh in memory, 2006 ... sales of 475 thousand ea. that allowed to say that the three most popular models of prestigious brands in the U.S. market include Lexus RX crossover and sedan Lexus IS (in the U.S. - ES), at the same time, we can speak with confidence about the growth of sales, which amounted to approximately 76 , 3%, reaching 39 200 vehicles. But if we consider the sale of the avtomombilya directly in Russia, we can say that Lexus has outstripped all competitors from Germany: four-wheel drive Lexus RX acquired 5 304 people, and he became a best-selling in its segment. So, make such a small record: speaking of Lexus, we mean a division of Toyota, producing luxury models for the U.S. market and Europe, and, just to the left wheel. Pay attention to the very name brand machines, saying his people had once implied word luxury or luxury, luxury cars. Believe me, nothing unusual in that not tons, because initially, when the company was still very young, its main purpose was the release of a luxury car, luxury, luxurious, beautiful, and it remains a priority for the company for many years. It is worth noting that the idea is not glittering novelty as to when the BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, but it does not become a problem for the Lexus, and in August 1983 was held a secret meeting of the board of directors of the corporation Toyota. That it was made chairman Eiji Toyoda (Eiji Toyoda), to his speech was the presentation of ideas, which essentially boils down to something here: challenge the best cars of the world, and nobody was bothered, because Toyota has stood firmly on his feet as the world known manufacturer of reliable, affordable, quality vehicles. Now, the question arose that all produced before the company brand was, as we have said: inexpensive and good quality, but you had something new: a luxurious and prestigious. This is a new brand - Lexus Cars
