Won't be a problem outside the US, as they would just call it R-Zed...

Lexus is so proud they blew out the exposure so you can't see a damn thing.

At least they're doing away with that weird looking front fender flare from the Toyota/Subie twins. Is it too much to hope that we can also get a normal panoramic roof instead of that stupid solid glass roof everyone is going for these days?

I like it so far. Very interesting placement of the third brake light.

I don't think you know how teasers work.

Thought the same thing, like a 90's thing. Convertibles used to have em there when they couldn't put it somewhere on the folding body.

Marketing not your forte huh? Hint: it's not a full reveal.

how is looking on a teaser image of a future car falling for marking BS? Sounds like you're grasping at straws.

Even your favorite car brand does it.

Teaser is supposed to tease you, make you interested but if you find that super interesting all good I'm saying for ME it is stupid. BTW Toyota is still easily my favourite brand their classic stuff didn't cease to exist and is awesome.

I'd definitely say the Lexus teaser marketing for this new EV is working on you. Certainly would not call in BS

From the little shown in the teaser video, I think this small SUV looks sharp and should be a great start for them in the BEV market!

imo it can be best looking EV but it still needs to have good numbers to back it up. Doesn't have to be better than Tesla but atleast somewhat competitive.

It needs to be luxurious which Tesla ain't. and it needs to not break which Teslas do more than an Lexus does. Lexus will run all over Tesla with quality, durability, materials and it will always work, Just won't be as fast which is what Tesla does very well . that an longer range which favors Tesla
