Lexus generally do a good job of keeping their value over time relative to other cars. That said… Would I pay $20,000 for ’99 GS with 148,000 miles on it? Heeell no. But this particular GS was Leonardo Di Caprio’s daily driver. That changes things.

So. The brand new Lexus RC. it’s hot. It’s sexy. It’s passionate. It’s all the things that Lexus has been trying to do with their new attitude wrapped up into a slice of sensual sheet metal. Also it’s got a really… uh, artistic, commercial.

At sea level, the 2014 Lexus LX 570 can propel you from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. Do the same test at a mile above sea level, and that time increases to 9.25 seconds. Hook up a 5,500-pound boat and trailer to the back, and that 0-60 time more than doubles to 18.82 seconds.

Rejoice! If you held off buying a new CT200h until this year, your patience has payed off, sort of. You’ll be glad to know what the 2014 model will cost the same as the 2013 model, which is nice, because Lexus has made a host of changes for the new year.

Now this is an interesting comparison. Take two large, luxury sedans and set them against each other in a cold, snowy conditions. Cars are exceptionally well made… But they’re still very different.

This is probably the coolest advertisement Lexus has ever done. The crazy thing is that there’s not even a car in it. Just several dozen tiny quad-rotor robots flying around a museum. It’s… pretty amazing.

By now, you’ve probably seen Lexus’ RC from every angle possible. If you haven’t  you can get a good look at it here. Style is important and everything… But what about the substance?
