this shows that Lexus/Toyota is not only good at just-in-time for its production but also very good at its dealership logistics

Wow... LX. I'm impressed. Is it that suddenly all the gangster rappers are throwing their Escalades away for LX's?

I agree. Both Lexus and their dealers do a good job of controlling inventory. We bought our ES350 when the new gen came out in late-April/early-May '06. I thought I'd check and see if there were any good deals on remaining new 330's. I checked with 3 dealers near me and none of them had any new 330's left, just a few CPO's. No need for close out specials.

Looks like the new CTS is on fire, but I don't see many in Toronto streets. That car is a thing of striking beauty, and I can't take my eyes off it whenever I see one on the streets.

1. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
2. Its sarcasm but true. Would u like me to scan some more articles, or link videos to some luxury bands crassy advertising?
3. I'm a straight shooter, that means IN PERSON, I am a straight shooter, this is not some internet warrior here.
4. My goodness, read whats above my avatar "Why So Serious"?


Funny, when I make fun of Toyota/Lexus (the when Toyota had ***** thread I started comes to mind), you don't seem to comment then. My suggestion, if you don't want to notice ALL the comments I make, then avoid getting antsy about the ones you don't agree with.

Back in the day, the LX450 was the gangsters choice.

Toyota has to get props for having a system in place that allows them to optimize their profit (which this also indicates) to the level they do.

Do you KNOW any artists? BMWs/Benzs have ALWAYS been vehicles for rap artists, not just today, just as Lexus.

Studies (I can't believe people do studies on this lol) show Benz is by far the most mentioned, then Lexus.

You are aware the X5 is considered a "baby momma" truck in the rap community right?

50 is the same guy that got paid to put Pontiac G8s in his Amusement Park video and got caught fronting on MTV cribs that he had all those cars (surely he CAN afford them, they just are not his)

The LX was very popular with EVERYONE, not just "gangsters" and I wonder do you know of any? They passed RR in one year in sales in 1996 amazingly.

I love Biggie fyi....

Jay-Z definitely takes the cake for biggest Lexus rep in the rap industry.

LOL.. I've been a hip hop head since the late 70's growing up in Brooklyn.. Actually, Tony Yayo has a house in my neighborhood just one block from mine. He drives a black BMW 650 drop top..

Did this study come from Source magazine?

Ha haa.. You know, I only heard the X5 being in a joint done by the Lost Boyz back in the late 90's..

I like Yayo, he's arrogant, cocky and his flow ain't bad at all.

That study was done in EVO actually, and I saw another one somewhere. I really wish I could scan these entire mags, they have tons of great articles not put on the website.

Don't worry, X5 might be for baby mommas, but RX is for mommas. LOL
