Just wanted to drop a note in here and say that the slight changes look good. The main page looks cleaner and easier to scroll through, and I think you guys did a nice job.

Only thing I would say is that perhaps the SC 430 and SC300/400 forums should be combined into one. Lexus is about to launch another hybrid dedicated model, and the 3rd gen SC is around the corner so forum space could become crowded. One area for all SCs might be a good move.

Another thought...maybe organize the forums sections in a more logical manner. For example...IS is the first forum, ES is second, GS is third, then LS, then SC, then RX, GX, and LX. GS to IS to SC to SC to LS to SUVs down to ES just doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense.

Just a thought! Nice work!

 

*UPDATE*

Ya'll changed it to where the sub-forum lists are no longer vertically stacked under each main section. Not bad, but still liked the vertical lists better. Easier to read and looks cleaner, especially in areas with a lot of sub forums like the Classifieds.

 

No offense onesickgs, but you haven't been around long enough to notice the changes so I won't explain them here Just look for more details on updates to be posted as we turn them on.

 

I like the upgrades...

 

I like the old look better. I hate change.

 

i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me...

 

Check out the new user profile section! Very nice!

 

could have sworn my eyes were playing tricks on me lol

dave what else is new?

 

seconded.

everything else is nice.

 

Subcategories does look cleaner.

I also agree about combining the SC into 1 main cat with subcats.

 

phew
in-view search works again with google chrome

 

i love the new user profile pages.. cool

 

We are likely to reorganize the forum structure a bit (I've already done the classifieds).

We won't join the SC forums until we see what the next version SC will bring us... this has been discussed in the past at great length when we created the SC430 forum. It was decided (and still is valid) that the SC430 is not a next 'generation' or evolution from the original classic SC. It's an entirely different car with different purpose and deserving of its own subforum despite sharing the 'SC' prefix.

 

In a way...this could be said for all the Lexus models. Some are softer, some are sportier, some have sprouted hybrid variants, long and short wheelbase, F cars...nothing is ever constant- especially in the automotive industry. The SC 430 probably has as little in common with the SC 300/400 as the IS-F does with the IS300, or GS 450h has with the 1994 GS 300.

To me, Lexus decides what is and is not a lineage and what the future will look like and how it will change. To that end, to me, whether it's an SC 300 or an SC 430...it's still an SC. Having an SC 430 and SC 460/500/SC-F forum in two years, with an SC 300 and SC 400 forum just below it seems kind of odd.

Also, any thought to structuring the model forums in a more logical manner? like IS, ES, GS, LS, SC, RX, GX, LX in descending order?


Not that any of these things are big issues, and I will remain a CL member regardless . Just suggestions.

 

I couldn't disagree with your post more. Every single Lexus model except for the SC clearly carries forward the lineage and DNA of the predecessor model. 1GS to 2GS to 3GS, a resounding yes. 1IS to 2IS, absolutely. LS - totally can't miss it, etc etc etc. "Kind of odd" would be reversing the informed decision we made when the SC430 first came out and confusing all those members who actually own one . Let's move on from this as it's been decided long ago and is not going to change now

We're working on the model structure as I already mentioned above No promises, moderator team is discussing it.
