The latest branch in the Lexus tree is the performance model Lexus IS F.  This freaking amazing machine is tameable to keep as a grocery getter or wild enough to lay down impressive numbers on the race track.  That's what happens when you take the base Lexus IS and drop a 5 liter v8 into the bay.

The IS F is capable of churning out over 400 hp and drip sex as it passes you on the freeway.  To make things smooth for this subcompact super car Lexus outfitted the IS F with a 8 speed automatic with a manual-shift mode.  That means 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and an estimated top speed of 170mph, which I'd happily verify if they ever let me get my greasy hands on one.

Hippy tree huggers should feel good too when they buy this performance Lexus, because it gets an amazing 23 mpg on the highway.  Not that stinky non bath taking hippies could afford the $57,000 base price tag anyways.

Bringing a luxury SUV to the wealthy and/or those of us who don't mind getting in debt up to our eyeballs. It's sophistication(far more than this site has), luxury, and more bling than you can shake a $74,000 stick at. But I digress, I'd be driving the 2008 Lexus LX 570 if I had the means.

Green folk need not apply to this SUV, it packs a potent 383 horsepower V8. Plenty o-power to enjoy some offroad trails, if you have the guts, and handle nicely all over any cross country trips a family of 8 might make. In addition, everyone can stay comfortable doing it as well, since the LX 570 has a 4 section climate control with 28 independent vents. Ahhh, now that spells relief in 100 degree weather.

Toyota has issued a recall on more than a quarter million Lexus model vehicles. All the recalls were in regards to a defective fuel line which could lead to fuel leakage. Yet another blow to Toyota and Lexus brand reliability standard. Expect recalls such as this to slow the grow of the manufacturer, set to overtake GM as the largest Automotive Manufacturer in the world.

In the United States, the latest Toyota recall involves 26,274 Lexus GS300, 5,429 Lexus IS250, and 2,640 Lexus IS350 vehicles. The recalled Toyota models were exported from Japan, and the same models are also being recalled in Canada, England, and Germany. There have been 39 cases of trouble involving recalled Toyotas in Japan but no reports of injuries. It was not immediately clear whether any problems have been reported elsewhere.

Today, Lexus Canada and Sirius Canada announced that they would be extending  their partnership. This means that all Lexus vehicles will be coming equipped with Sirius compatible radios, for the best in satellite radio enjoyment.
