    Detroit Preview: Lexus LF-1 Limitless

      Lexus previews a concept crossover to be shown in Detroit in January 2018.

    Lexus released teaser images of a concept crossover that will be shown at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.  The crossover was created by the Toyota's CALTY design studio in Newport Beach, California.   The concept, called the Lexus LF-1 Limitless will preview Lexus' interpretation of a flagship luxury crossover, one they claim will redefine the boundaries of luxury.

    We will have more in the Lexus LF-1 Limitless from the show in January.

    Interesting love the change of design language from their current hideous design language. Sadly I hate that coupe back end and wish it was more true SUV style. To me such a waste of potential usable space and letting the sun in to the back of the auto with a coupe style rear hatch.

    Well, we haven't seen the face yet.  The current design language from the rear is unusually expressive, but I wouldn't call it ugly.

    I assume the front will continue the Predator angry gundam look.   I like the rear...

    Problem is anything Toyota makes with a base price of $50k or up is a sales disaster because at the end of the day these are just fancy Toyotas.  People will pay $40k for an Avalon350 errr ES350 or $359 a month for an IS250 lease but the GX, GS, LX, LS, LC are massive duds.

      Argh.  That's too bad.  An Aveo would have had an interference engine.  When I lost a timing chain in my '84 Cutlass Brougham coupe 3.8 V6 with 160,000 miles, I was at the end of a ramp in Vancouver WA, there was an almost imperceptible shudder, and silence.  A tow truck came.  At the shop, they pulled off all the pulleys, also threw in a new water pump, put on the new timing chain, and buttoned it up.  I later sold the car to a really cool Catholic high school senior from a very nice African-American family in Seattle.  When the father met me at the AAA to do the paperwork and drove off, the exhaust note was like that of a car with less than 50,000 miles.  But my beloved car went to nice folks and I hope it served them well.  Forget those high-tech ergonomic seats!  Those plush Brougham seats made it the most comfortable car I've ever owned.

      2004, only 89K. My wife works from home, my retired mother kept it for years as a back up car, she drove my dads car most of the time until my father passed. I got eight plus good years out of it. Timing belt snapped.

      Yes! I do see some old Maverick, which we'd refer to as a "toad." I didn't know you had a Chevy Aveo.  What year and how many miles on it? Which part of it gave up the ghost? Yes, I remember your stories about your '78 Olds Cutlass Supreme with a 260 V8 that you beat to hell and back.  My dad would have gone off on me if I didn't baby the cars I was handed down to make them last a long time, the first of which was also a Cutlass Supreme. In a way, I sort of liked one thing about that magenta colored AI Cutlass Supreme. The front modification from 1981 was referred to as the shovel nose grille.  The AI version keeps it slightly canted back, eliminates the shovel nose, and references the car to the full size Oldsmobile line-up.

      My issue is the complexity over having an EV motor on the axel. I honestly do not get the need for this type of transmission. Software can usually handle adjustments to optimize efficiency.  This story nails it why the dual stage EV9 Motors are better than using an eCVT. The Kia EV9 Has Motors Unlike Any Other EV
