Although 3 strikes = 1 turkey

 

Interesting little touches.

The question is do you really want a giant turd hurled at you and how fast do you want it? I prefer no turd at all at any speeds lol. The verdict is out until it becomes real so all jokes aside, I am glad Lexus is making it however late it is.

BTW Lexus owes all NX drivers another 75 to 100hp if two of those engines can make 660hp.

 

Oh yeah the NX (235hp) and IS (241hp) are lacking. Competitors are around 270hp or more for their 2.0T's.

 

Lexus would want you to move up to their V6 options in place of the 4 cylinder models.

 

But they don’t offer a V6 in the NX

 

Which means, they would want you to move to the RX size.

 

The GR's replacement is likely a 2.4L TT I4 unit (320-370hp) for the future, but I don't know forsure, just speculating on the info I have. I think they will have 2.0NA, 2.0T, 2.4TT, 3.5TT, 4.0TT.

 

Why do you think 2.4? Not 2.5?

 

Just from what I've gathered. It could be a tad larger so I wouldn't rule 2.5 out. I just know it's supposedly under 3.0L and has forced induction. I would REALLY love if it was a 2.5L V6 TT to be a bit smoother.

 

I figure that they would offer a 3.0 a some point.

 

Lexus need a 3JZ in-line 6!

Everyone is back to doing inline 6s now and the company that had one of the best ever is ofcourse missing the boat.

 

I second this

 

I agree with this! The 1JZ and 2JZ were awesome! I would love to see them bring another JZ engine out.

 

Which shows how out of touch they are with their consumer.

Not everybody wants to move to the RX size. Lots of people who buy the NX size...want the NX size. Small crossovers are a huge market, and that market isn't just populated by people who want a larger vehicle.

So those customers must leave the Lexus brand. There are way too many places in the lineup where customers have to leave the Lexus brand. Thats not necessary with any other competitor, other than say Acura.

Prentending Lexus glaring omissions from their lineup are some sort of grand plan thats just beyond all of us is just unabashed fanboyism.
