No, this will go on forever until Toyota corporate comes and tells us we're all wrong.
My vote is for Lexus' which looks good on paper but still sounds wierd when spoken.

I go for Lexuses.
The plural of 'Bus' is 'buses' (or also 'busses' with a double 's'), so Lexus should follow suit.
Of course, someone could make the nucleus/nuclei argument too, but I don't think it is proper to change the name of the brand so significantly by altering the root word to make it plural.
