nope, if you don't adjust anything on any car,(well on our cars you can't adjust camber unless you get a camber kit) you naturally get negative camber by lowering your car, since the lower control arm is at a different angle
on lexus, they have a natural camber deal to them which i think is cool. i think most lexus' don't have any camber adjustment at all

yes unless you get a camber kit.
when you lower a car you get negative camber, where the top of the wheel leans towards the car. that is because you are essentially lifting the a-arms up.
when you lift a truck you get positve camber, where the top of the wheel leans away from the car. that is because you are pushing the a-arms down.

think of it this way, stick one of your arms straight out(perpendicular to your body) elbow locked. now just move it up and down, shoulder being the pivot point(kinda as if you where trying to flap your arms and fly lollll) if you where to have a perpendicular line at your hand, going up and down, you will notice the change in angle/camber as your move your arm up and down. your arm, in essense being the lower control arm.
so when you lower your car the arm sits more angled up, thus getting negative camber.
also if you watch cars next to you drive and when they hit a bump, dip or something, you will notice the wheels camber in and out as the suspension travels. its easier to see on cars with loose suspension.
wow maybe i totally butchered that analogy/explaination lol.... but i tried.... i don't have any pictures to show with it.
