Toyota vs Lexus.

What I don’t hear talked about much is the opportunity cost of these relics Toyota and Lexus still sell. I am a firm believer that if they redesigned the Tundra, Sequoia, Landcruiser, GX, LX 2-3 years ago they would have sold like hot cakes. The US economy was very strong the past few years and could have sold a ton of those redesigned models. Now that the pandemic has hit will Toyota delay rolling out updated models? Hope not, it’s been way too long already.
But totally agree, a new GX and LX that are updated with current technology would sell even better than they do now (and make more Lexus dealers happier), but luckily for them, sales are all right when they're both dated given that consumers are buying anything utility at this point.

US is very different than the rest of the world (eventually the US comes around) I would not include Canada in with North America as Canada has fully adopted and supported hybrid Toyota's and Lexus. Canada just introduced a carbon tax that will push most vehicle consumers to hybrid technology or smaller motors.

I’ve said it multiple times, I have $69-90k waiting for a good Lexus utility with a RWD layout...

thank goodness!
hell no.
but you're probably right.
the beatings will continue until morale improves. 'Push' being the right word, consumers will have little choice.
BEV? When they don't have ANY today?
I agree many (most) are stuck in the past.

20-30 years from now, Toyota and Lexus will be looked back upon as a pioneer of hybrid, BEV, and at that point an FCEV maker.
The V8 stuff will be a distant memory as well as all the boring sedans in the past. It's tough for people here to understand and for some reason so many people are stuck in the past...

No Toyota should have a nicer interior than a Lexus...

Somebody who owns a Century would beg to differ ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
But yes, in the USDM, no Toyota should even come within spitting distance to a Lexus. Of course, thats the problem with Lexus going downmarket so much, that it happens quite often now.
