Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards. Lexus leads the pack with an industry-topping score of 79, this being their second year in a row.

Now to complete the family, Lexus has released details middle child: the RC350 F Sport. It won’t be as hard core as the RC F, nor will it be as expensive, but it carries a few enhancements over the regular RC that gives this car a sportier look.

Who dares to say Lexus is not serious about more sports and racing again? As if the already announced RC F is not enough to steal the spotlight, Lexus annouced the Lexus RC F GT3 today.

Lexus is clearly realizing the importance of coupes in their lineup since they are trying to make the brand “younger” and more engaged in driving fun.

Well, if there was any question about the seriousness of Toyota’s commitment towards making Lexus a more attractive brand, let it be set to rest here and now. Tokuo Fukuichi, Toyota Motor Corporation’s global design chief, is now the head of Lexus International.

How many BMW’s out there can brag about hitting 200,000 miles? How many Mercedes can gloat about going 250,000 miles (besides the 240D)? If there’s one thing that Lexus is known for more than anything else, it’s reliability.

Ah, the IS-F. 2014 marks the last year the IS-F will be available. It’s a bittersweet feeling.
On the one hand, the IS-F has been Lexus’ constant performance vehicle. It debuted in 2007; three years before Lexus debuted the LFA. Until that point, it was the fastest thing Toyota built. It was a muscle sedan, plain and simple.
