Well I went to the Lexus shop today to see the RWD camryolla and it seemed like a reasonable vehicle.
But then I took their ISF demo for a test drive........ Warning: DO NOT DRIVE A LEXUS ISF if you are considering buying a GT-E.......it is not good for you.... |

I'd buy one. I think it looks good in the Sports Luxury or F-sport guises.
My grandad has a 2007 IS250, so this was before the mid-life update and I think it is nice as. |

This is a pretty good thread, but I didn't get the impression people were bagging the Lexus, I just got the feeling that its not for them. I also thought the references to size were very relevant. I've always been a fan of the Lexus product, particularly the IS models, but they have never been in my price range or suitable for my needs as far a size is concerned. And you get no arguments from me with regard to build quality, in fact its ordinary at times, but it isn't quite a fair comparison given the price differences between the products. On a world scale Falcadores are very good value for money. And what I'm talking about is size, drive, and features. A Falcadore type vehicle made by other manufacturers is generally a high spec up market vehicle. Many other makes of cars are better build quality, granted, but can they fit three adults across the rear seat, do they offer any where near the power and torque of aussie cars, are they rear wheel drive? Not important to everyone I agree. But important to me, and for most of my adult life only the Falcadores offered these features within a reasonable price range. As was said before, if you want a Falcon sized Lexus you need to look at the GS which is a $100K vehicle. Your average Falcadore is a third of this price, and those Falcadores that are nearing this figure usually have enough bells and whistle's to back up the price tag. |
