That's partly because, despite marked changes over the years in the company's products, many "Living in the Past" Lexus owners haven't truly left the company yet. Despite complaints, they are still buying or leasing today's more radically-styled, firmly-sprung and noisier IS, ES, RX, and GS models. If or whenever they DO start leaving in droves (over and above the ones that either stop driving with age or die off).....then that will be another story. And, BTW, that goes for Cadillac, Lincoln, and Buick as well.

I own two F-Sports one is a special edition and handles excellently and sport mode definitely changes the handling. (ct200h) The NX not sure only have 700 miles on it......mostly highway so far.

I like the lowered look on the CT and the sways help. Add 25 more hp and you have a wrap. 35 more hp in the NX you also have a wrap. Doesn't even seem impossible. F-Sport should also mean more HP....

Maybe sales would skyrocket again - two ways to look at it.

I think its great that the F sport sales are booming. Just need to explain to the owners that F and F sport are not the same let alone in the same league. LMAO . Even the service advisors dont know the difference.


They are great cars but more of a stuffed bra in the end. More show than GO !!
