Not even close.....if that was true they wouldnt have the issues that they do....and like he said Lexus doesnt make transmissions....for example ZF transmissions makes the 8 speed transmission for Lexus!

This statement is incorrect. ZF is a German company. A lot of their transmissions are found in German cars, Audi, MB, BMW, etc. But not in the IS F. I can't speak for other model Japanese cars, but probably not.

Where did this ZF story originate? A friend of mine was under the same mistaken impression.

On second read, it is very clear they are only making a reference to the ZF development.

Actually you're partially wrong toyota is Lexus and the Lexus tranny is aisin which is Japanese transmission manufacturer and 30% owned by toyota so yes , our trannys are made by toyota
There is bunch of divisions of aisin they also make navigation units and chemicals...
C&D writes lots of misleading stuff their editors are to be blamed for this lol
Read something that the BMW 2 series used the same 8 speed auto as the Lexus Isf
But if it's a ZF then it's not a Lexus tranny
