Default New Lexus IQ!

I was walking my dog and look what I found! Definitely one of a kind. Guess if you can't afford a lexus, this is the next best thing.

Located in San Francisco.

Putting an L-badge on is silly enough, but an F-Sport badge on top of that just adds insult to injury.


Of course, over the years, I've learned not to be surprised by ANYTHING in San Francisco.

Consider, though, that Aston Martin, an exotic British marque, DID sell a version of this car....called the Cygnet. It has since been discontinued.

Did the Cygnet come bundled with the matching luggage set? You need something to transport your Tumi bags around.

You know something funny i heard from some dealerships, they said that "People who own Toyotas think their Toyota is a Lexus since its the same overall company". Since Scion is sold under Toyota, so I guess this thinking transcends to the IQ also.. I have seen some Lexus badging on some Scion FRS.. and people do so without shame..!! Doesn't make you feel all warm inside buying a Scion and be a little bit delusional that its a Lexus.. (I sometimes want to compliment these drivers at stop lights of their nice Lexus..)
