It’s been a big year for Lexus. With an aggressive campaign to update their styling language to include the new signature spindle and notable updates, it’s no wonder things have been working out.

I’ll be honest – I’ve loved the CT200h since day one. It’s arguably one of the best looking hatchbacks in recent history, and even with its ho-hum performance, it’s rated highly as a great entry level car with solid road demeanor and driving dynamics.

Lexus wants to go upmarket. “That’s cute” would be a quick way to dismiss them. As luck would have it, it does appear like they’re taking steps to make their claim a reality.

I’ll go on record and say this: I quite like the 2014 Lexus GX460. Something of an odd statement for someone of my particular demographic to say, but the luxury SUV definitely has presence.

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Lexus’ rumors and teaser photos of the upcoming RC-F. There’s a few things we know already. The new reveal will debut in Detroit and fall within Japanese automaker’s F performance line.

The luxury SUV segment – a highly competitive playing field with rugged intentions but oftentimes ill-suited application. The GX sits in a price category that plays aggressively, filled with European peers that encompass both crossover and proper SUVs.

According to sources at Jalopnik, Lexus has announced there’s going to be a new F model shown next month at the Detroit Auto Show. What do you think they’ve got coming?
