I agree with Savagegeese, I would not buy that either. 160 mile range is horrible.

Mirai is top of the class. Class of 2.

I wonder if Lexus is embarrassed by the RZ.

Toyota/Lexus appear to be more focused on hybrids. The RX and its Toyota cousin seem like a “ok we built an EV now leave us alone” back to hybrid models.

Maybe not so good for USA sales but what you all think about metro areas, especially in other countries?

Could be a hit for people who commute short distances.

Can go full EV.

The price kills that. Also, most countries not named America like small vehicles due to smaller more congested roads. They like big vehicles in Dubai, but a vehicle like this would be used more as an Uber...but limited range and slow charging kills that idea as well 😔
