Interesting....

 

Wow, pretty awesome!

 

Great info

 

Fact #15 is not entirely correct:

Though James Sloyan had a twenty-year gig as the sole voice actor for Lexus (1989-2009), he was later replaced by actor James Remar.

 

Alexis?

Good thing they didn't go with that. That's an awful name. Unimaginative and feminine.

For those who name their cars..... "That's my Alexis. Her name is Alexis."

 

Much of this is taught by Lexus College

 

very cool. I dig the facts on the LFA motor being half the weight of the V6 and twice as powerful

 

Why would they want to re-certify their paint inspector 4 times a year? Isn't that kind of a waste of resource and money?

 

nah, it's lighter but not half the weight

 

We are paying for it. Does it matter?

 

Very cool info, thanks

 

From manufacturing stand point, it matters. They can allocate that time and money on something else "better?"

You ask a person to describe the USB color, 3 months later, you ask the same person, s/he will describe it differently.They should focus more on advancing their painting technology.

Who know that person is going to stay with them for long? Will they find a certified inspector to replace the one who is gone soon enough? Human nature is that we constantly change, technology doesn't unless we make it.

 

I'm amazed at the resources they put into making the 1LS and 1UZ engine wow

 

#13 "It was only in 2005 that Lexus fully separated organizationally from Toyota."

woah, didn't know that.

 

Great read, thanks for sharing!
