It’s not news that Lexus has been going through a rebirth, and 2015 finds the company charging headlong into battle with the Germany’s performance icons. Keen to continue its recent inroads, the company is preparing and onslaught of new things to come during the next year—it’s a good time to be a Lexus fan.

The Lexus RX has been a segment giant and a best-seller for Lexus since its introduction—but the mid-size luxury crossover has been overdue for a major refresh. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait much longer for it.

Football might be America’s de facto national religion, but for most folks, the glorious orgy of alcohol and gluttony which accompanies game day is far more compelling than any gridiron drama. They’ll only bother to look at a television during the fantastically expensive—are traditionally awesome—commercials.

On the surface, the idea of watching a car get detailed might sound about as exciting as watching paint dry or an episode of The Mentalist.

Auto Shows sometimes are a complete blur of new models, product spokesmen, free booze, and enough walking to qualify for a half marathon.

Pictures are great and all, but there’s no substitute for walking around a car in person. Of course, well-shot video can bridge the gap somewhat. So don’t worry too much if you couldn’t make it to Detroit to check out the new GS F.
