6 Ways to Scare a Lexus Owner This Halloween
Sometimes you don't need a frightful costume or a haunted house to scare a Lexus owner. Sometimes all it takes is one look at a bad paint job or a mechanical problem under the hood. Here are a few things that could scare any Lexus owner.

1. Tell them about the impending death of the V8
For quite some time now, we've been told that big displacement engines are going the way of the dinosaur. But in recent years, luxury car makers are slowly moving toward forced induction engines with fewer than eight cylinders. Lexus has so far mostly bucked that trend, but will they eventually follow suit? Fans of the growling V8s certainly hope not.

2. Show them an ugly Lexus
Lexus is supposed to be a brand that symbolizes class, style, luxury, and reliability. While certain, um, fanboys have built some seriously tacky Honda's and Toyota's over the years, that fate certainly can't fall upon our beloved brand, can it? Sure it can. They may not be as common as the hideous Civics owned by teenage boys across America, but there are some seriously ugly Lexus products roaming our streets. Thankfully, not enough to tarnish the brand's image...

3. Issue a recall
Recalls — everybody hates them. And even though Lexus is known for quality and reliability, it isn't immune to issues. Airbag failures are the latest in a list of recalls that have affected pre-collision systems, faulty brake parts, emergency trunk releases, and rear suspensions. And sometimes it isn't the recall that scares you the most; it's the common problem that doesn't actually become a recall, leaving you footing the bill for a repair.

4. Your warranty has lapsed
Is there anything worse than enjoying a little bit of hooning (or just commuting to work, if you do that sort of thing), only to have your good time ruined by broken parts? If your car is under warranty, it's mostly just a minor convenience, but what if your warranty has lapsed? Even worse, what if you break something expensive, or curb those nice new wheels you dropped a few grand on? Broken parts are something every gearhead has nightmares about.

5. Tell them the LF-NX is the future of Lexus styling
When Lexus debuted the LF-NX concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, people, well, didn't know what to think. The automaker was looking to get noticed in the crowded compact crossover market, and it's safe to say they accomplished that mission. Problem is, a lot of folks didn't exactly like the mini SUV. In fact, a lot of people thought it was downright ugly. A future of Lexus products with that bulbous front end might just frighten a lot of fans.

6. You have to sell your car
What if you lose your job or go through an ugly divorce and you can no longer afford those Lexus payments? What would you do for transportation if you had to sell your Lexus to survive? Buy a Kia or a Mazda? Then join Kia-forums.com? For most Lexus owners, life probably wouldn't get any scarier than that.
