I was on the floor over this - hilarious.

Plural for Lexus
I'm sure many of us have stumbled over our own words when attempting to describe our beautiful cars in the plural form. I've never been sure what to use as a plural for Lexus. Somehow this needs to be officially established.
Some use the words opus and opera as a basis for that. Maybe Lexus and Lexera? It does have a nice ring.
If we use the standard rule for plurals by adding an additional "S", it would sound like Lexuses, which sounds like it was pronounced with much difficulty.
What do you think?
