The "What should Lexus make?" thread
I saw no other threads about this and I thought it would be fun!!!
I was thinking they should make a Luxury pickup truck, or at least make a golf cart....!
$10,000 golf cart... $120,000 Pickup Truck, $500 Lexus pogo stick?
Just for fun!!

If they are serious about increasing their market share in Europe they NEED the following:
A mini-SUV (smaller than RX)
IS stationwagon
GS stationvagon
And because of the way most european contries have set up their car tax systems, the above cars should preferably be available with a very frugal version with just about enough HP for car as the main volume model.
...and i stand by that this is something that they need to adress IF they are interested in increasing their share in Europe!
I read an article very recently (i think it was"Auto, Motor & Sport") saying that BMW where expecting to increase their share of stationwagons in Europe to about 45% of the 3/5-series! And to really drive the point home most of these cars are sold with the smaller 4-cylinders. In other words this is a fast growing market that Lexus is'nt competing in...at all!

1. Mini-SUV-RX
2. More hybrid engines, for instance have 300h and make it available in all cars... 200hp-240hp is good enough for full range in Europe.
3. Small and Large coupe.
(by the order of priority).

yes, a small ute would be good (and coming apparently).
