This car makes a ton of sense in Europe…which is why everybody in Europe buys cars this size.

Adults are fine in the back of that too.

the car? Yes. The brand? No. The backseat? Never.

it’s a sad state of affairs when a Nissan Versa which comes equipped with a self-granading transmission has more room and comfort than a lexus. 🤡 A LEXUS!!!!!!!🤡
🤣🤣🤣

Have you ever been to Europe? People in Europe transport whole families in cars like this. We are just accustomed to huge cars here in the US and that’s not the norm in Europe.

An issue, though, is not only small size in the interior room, but if the engine actually has enough power to haul a family. Put four average-size people in some small vehicles, and, even if they can fit inside, the vehicle will barely move, particularly up a hill.

I have no problem with the size. I thought I made that clear.

It’s for young people without kids or old couples.

It’s selling quite well in a lot of places. It’s cheap to run and reasonable looking.

Parking is easy and you can squeeze into places.

I am still having trouble understanding why do you want to stop Europeans buying small luxury cars?

You feel if Lexus offers to Europeans what we want, you are being hurt in USA?

Actually it does not. This is way more comfortable that 3rd row in GX.

At 6.1 and too many pounds, i can sit in the back just fine.

europeans buy small cars because the roads are narrow and the parking spaces are REALLY tight. driving a big vehicle in europe is a big pain unless you live out in a rural area.

but my brother-in-law there lives in a very dense neighborhood with tiny roads and he has a mercedes glc (cuv) which is 'huge' compared to most everything else.

europeans have also had tiny engines too because tax on fuel has been enormous. my nephew just got a mercedes cla with a 1.3L engine which they described as 'superb'. i just said congrats...

All I want is for lexus to change the name from lexus to toyota. You can keep the car and whatever “luxury” you think there is.

LBX looks cute.
Nice interior.

Bit too small for me.
However, for my mother's relatives in Paris, it is well sized - they have so little parking space, they park with two wheels on the foot path.

I understand what you mean by using a Toyota badge for the FWD-based GA-B platform.
I too would like TMC to restrict the Lexus badge to more premium RWD-based platforms.
However, TMC loves to badge engineer.

Would be cool to see a range topping LBX model with the GR Corolla's turbo-three

After recently returning from Europe, all I’ll say is that I totally get it. The rental Quashqai I had was huge in size over there. All of the luxury marques had similar vehicles to the LBX so I’m glad Lexus is playing the game.
