Default When will lexus make a supersedan?

Yes, the IS and GS are super sedan's, but when will Lexus rise to the level of producing an BMW M or AMG or Audi RS?

I really want my next car to be a lexus. The last bastion of European reliability, Mercedes, has seemed to have problems lately. This is a great opportunity for the greatest luxury car maker in the world to step it up a notch.

Any thoughts? Any rumours?

There has been report of a LS600h coming : https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=166668

I hope there' ll eventually have a high performance version of the GS too.

What's your definition of super sedan? The IS and GS are not. Until Lexus makes a competitor for a M5 or E55 they don't have one.

Personally, I'd think that Lexus (and Acura for that matter) could make out like bandits by making Lexus variants of the Seina or Odyssey -- minivans on the very upscale side of the fence. People are paying >$30k for standard minivans but I'm sure they'd have a market niche with some of the features found in the latest Lexus models. Just my $0.02 worth
