Default Porsche, Lamborghini, BMW but why not Lexus

Over the past few years I have been seeing Porsche doing stuff for speedboats / yachts, Lamborghini getting into that market (only in concept right now), even BMW doing stuff with Embraer


Embraer-BMW


Lamborghini powered Yacht


Porsche Design

I would love to see what Lexus would do to an interior of a plane or a yacht. I haven't heard Bentley, Rolls Royce or Audi do anything yet in that market.

Well I believe FIRST... They must concentrate on more than just 1 performance production vehicle that is actually available. Why make Boats when there's several cars in their own lineup that need addressing. I still can not fathom what has taken soooo long for a GS-F. Which makes the most sense.

Lexus has been doing stuff like hotel rooms and furniture design. (Really...) And they also have been doing some museum-quality art exhibits.

There should be a lifestyle page on Lexus' website.
