    Lexus' General Manager Hints At A Second Flagship

      Another flagship vehicle could joining the Lexus LS

    Lexus is readying another flagship vehicle to sit along the LS sedan. Speaking with Reuters, Lexus General Manager Jeff Bracken said the Japanese automaker is considering a new flagship.

     

    "We need a flagship. It doesn't have to be a sedan," said Bracken.

     

    "In addition to the LS (a large sedan), there could be another flagship in our lineup. We'll define what it is in January."

     

    There are two vehicles that are possibly in contention. The first is the long-rumored LF-LC coupe concept, wearing the SC nameplate. The other is another SUV.

    Maybe if Lexus stopped doing what the American auto makers did in the 80's and 90's with poorly done rebadging. You sit in a Lexus and all you see is some glorified bits on a blaw Toyota. Pathetic.

    Im still waiting for the LF-LC to come along...

     

    And by the time it does finally arrive, I will probably lose interest....it has been 3-4 years already with another 2 before it reaches showrooms...

     

    Its still a sexy car though...

     

    The Acura NSX has my interest currently for Japanese flagships/halo cars...

     

     

    But wait...the way this is written, it seems like the LF-LC is not a sure thing...and Im under the impression that the LF-LC is scheduled to arrive in 2017....am I missing something here?

      Ford News: Ford F-150 Lightning Goes EREV with 700+ Mile Range and Locomotive-Like Towing

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      Sadly the Ford CEO clearly made his feeling known when on national TV he told Trump that Biden Forced them to build EVs that the world does not need. Idiot!!! I agree that Ford is making ANOTHER MISTAKE in axing the EV only Lighting, they clearly have not been in vesting in battery technology as Mercedes, Kia, Hyundai, Genesis and more have all been investing in battery technology such as Factorial Solid State tech and Mercedes just finished initial testing of the 110 kW battery pack that gave them 745 mile range. Solid-state EV battery maker is going public after a 745+ mile test Mercedes Needed A Solid-State Battery To Match Lucid’s EV Range Record | Carscoops I reported about the startup back in 2023 as the potential is huge and real. Next year, Mercedes is supposed to bring out their first solid state EV and the other companies that invested will follow within 12 to 18 months. Mercedes was the first investor with Kia, Hyundai, Genesis and others following.

      Random thought ... to vent: I was accidentally lax with a phone camera setting and then I happened to see that a big chunk of photos were in heic files.  I have had to copy them from my laptop back to my phone, where I have the feature to save them as jpeg files. It's super boring, but I'm almost done with it.

      Today - depending on the time zone - marks 20 YEARS that I have been on C&G. It seems to have gone in chapters: First 3 years: Needed a new car, the LaCrosse was being released, and I was weighing the options, including test driving.  Some of you will remember one ghastly initial design for the LaCrosse the Bob Lutz threw the book at the design staff for.  Next 15 years: Owning the car, reporting on it, and driving other cars while on vacation, not to mention a lot of fighting with ocnblu ... which was hard to avoid! Last 2 years: NO car ... living on 2 continents ... (I would have never imagined this) ... renting cars as needed.  There's a lot more to this decision than deciding between a LaCrosse, a Grand Prix, and a Monte Carlo.

      Airplanes

      Concord and the Airbus are now the two biggest pollution planes of the 20th and 21st century. Amazing what they can do, but also the destruction to the planet.
