Default Lexus vehicle idea?

just came to mind that it would be neat if Lexus came up with a truck like vehicle like Honda did with the ridgeline? I've been debating on getting a truck in the near future but with gas prices who knows when that will be... I was thinking of Toyota tundra because its the closest thing to lexus... but if Lexus had this idea or this concept, i think it would draw lots of attention to the automotive.. world....

I agree with you.

I guess the Lexus P/U would compete with the Lincoln and Cadi high end pick ups.

Don't know how much of a market there would be though

I don't like the idea of Lexus going into the luxury pickup market at all. They should concentrate their resources & effort on more variations of luxury/sports sedans & coupes.

Maybe some concept like the Avalanche, but outright pickup I cannot see.

Exacltly. I bet there is a better chance me becoming a vegetatrian, than these fake pick-ups (Lincoln truck, Ridgeline, Escalade pickup, etc) than those being used AS a pickup.

They are just the LAMEST boulevard crusiers.

yeah the tundra is a nice truck, especially when it has the 20" bulliet grill,skid plate,black paint and such, the tundra is a pretty nice looking full size truck.

A "luxury" pickup in the lineup would degrade the Lexus name.

There is a Toyota/Lexus luxury truck, it's a Tundra with leather.

It would be the worst corporate decision since the Porsche Cheyenne.
I understand that the Porsche SUV is ironically the best selling Porsche now and that is too bad because Porsche is supposed to be a Sports CAR company. Do we want a Farrari SUV???
NO WAY!

What's the next suggestion: A new Lexus hatchback the starts at $24,999???

No, those mistakes are left to MB and BMW.

What I don't get is the fact that the Blackwood failed MISERABLY. I mean HORRIBLY. Why the hell would Lincoln/Ford go to manufacture a follow-up of their mieserable failure? (The new Mark LT)
