Actually u got me thinking,,,,,Lexus probably got its design inspiration from Toyota,,because Toyota cars are damn boring,,,when compared with Kim chee cars,,,the kim chees really put alot of emphasis on design,,,it just till date to me,,,Nip cars are still better in reliability and serviceability ...if one wants a real go getter tough as nails vehicles,,the to go for vehicle in ang mor lands is still the classic toyota land cruiser,,,its like being in an 80s car,,,everything damn old fashion and old tech,...but because it doesent have those sensors and made to last,,,its chance of cock ups in extreme terrain is very highly unlikely,,,but to drive that vehicle in singkieland is a nightmare,,,with all the start and stops etc,,,just changing gears already sian
drove 2 foresters before and they are quite tough and very spacious
love them....
Subarus are a bit of a European style car
downside is, a drinker especially with AWD and turbo

This? For carrying coffins no?
Only Italian designs and German engineering (occasionally the design as well) can make it... Japanese wins in reliability but that’s about it... just like Ho Ching is a reliable wife for Ah Loong

could be.
I don't care about the Lexus car itself but I was swooned by the premium Nakamichi sound system inside !
KNN the most beautiful Lexus I ever saw was the 2-door version in the US 20 years ago KNN. It has curves in all the right places and reminds me of the early 90s Honda Prelude at the time KNN.
Our 2020 Kia Telluride Appeals to Both Hearts and Minds
Now at the 30,000-mile mark, Kia's biggest SUV continues to serve us as a rational yet exceedingly pleasant-to-drive choice.

30,000-Mile Update
People typically buy three-row crossovers out of necessity rather than desire. They have a lot of kids or a lot of stuff or a medium amount of kids and a medium amount of stuff, all of which combine to fill an extra-large SUV. No one buys a big family SUV because they're fun to drive because, for the most part, they aren't.
But among the class of capacious three-row utes that includes the Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, and Honda Pilot, the Kia Telluride is surprisingly and delightfully pleasant to drive. It rides with easygoing suppleness yet corners with better manners than most of its peers. (The Mazda CX-9 is the other impressively mannered outlier in this class.) Our long-term Telluride SX AWD model also appeals to our irrational brains by spoiling its occupants with an interior that feels more expensive than its $47,590 price suggests.

2020 Kia Telluride vs. 2019 Volkswagen Atlas
With more than 30,000 miles on the Telluride's odometer, our staff remains as charmed by the big Kia as we were when we named it to our 10Best list in fall 2019. It is a pragmatic people hauler and a serious value, and its overall dynamics are far better than the competition requires. "The Telluride nails the three-row SUV fundamentals: comfortable, spacious, and as a bonus, far more luxurious than the price suggests," vehicle testing director Dave VanderWerp recently noted in the logbook.
In an age of ubiquitous turbocharged inline-fours, the Telluride's 3.8-liter V-6 is a refreshing, naturally aspirated breath of fresh air. There's ample torque on the low end for sliding through city traffic, and the V-6 feels strong and polished as it spins toward its redline when you pin the accelerator to merge onto the highway. It's a great engine that feels perfect for this application, and yet it's probably one of the few things we would change if we could wave a magic wand and have our way. Our drivers dream of a Telluride that's quicker than its 7.0-second zero-to-60-mph run, which speaks more to how spoiled we are than any shortcoming of this Kia. "Aside from the lack of extra horsepower that nobody actually needs, the Telluride is a joy to drive," summarized staff editor Austin Irwin.

Since our last update, we've run our long-term Telluride through the Car and Driver highway fuel-economy test. Over 200 miles at a consistent 75 mph, the Telluride averaged 27 mpg, beating its EPA highway rating by 3 mpg. Considering this three-row SUV weighs 4507 pounds and has the aerodynamic attributes of a school bus, we're impressed. But when we're not performing our objective tests, we drive harder and faster. The Telluride is averaging 21 mpg to date, in line with what we see among the competition in this class. If you want that 27 mpg, you're going to have to work for it.

At this point in a long-term test, the only thing that could sink a vehicle as universally beloved as the Telluride is a major mechanical failure. It's been another drama-free 10,000 miles since our last update, though. We paid $195 for the scheduled 30,000-mile maintenance, which included an oil change, replacement engine and cabin air filters, and a tire rotation. If that sounds steep, at least the dealer provided us with an invaluable service. During the visit, the technician discovered a nail in the right rear tire and repaired the puncture before it left us sidelined or stuck on the shoulder. Not this time, universe.

The 40,000-mile finish line is now in sight for our Kia Telluride. Going into this test, we were well aware of its value, dynamic virtues, and accommodating interior. Now we know that it's capable of impressive fuel economy and is mechanically robust. The cabin appears to be weathering our use and abuse without undue wear. We fell in love with the Telluride because it won over our hearts. We're thriving in this long-term relationship because it's also a sensible choice.

that car was designed in California by Calty in California. The design credits Erwin Liu and Denis Campbell.
I remember checking out the car. I also remember thinking it couldn't have been well-engineered.
The reason for this was a big deal was made out of it's "ingenious" door hinges. In 2-door cars, the front doors are necessarily longer to allow access to the rear seats. So to make it easier for owners of this car, they specifically engineered it's door hinges to shift it's pivot axis outward to allow wider-opening doors. Every Lexus salesman made a great big fuss about how it made access easier without having to open the doors wider.
Great in theory, but in practice I remember the stupid door would not open to more than a 30 degree angle. I did not measure it with instruments, but if anything it looked like a 20+ degree angle. It was so narrow that you had to you couldn't just mindlessly enter the car and had to be mindful of the narrow gap. A super-fat American would have to squeeze through it.
I wondered what was wrong with all the people pitching this idea when it was so obvious it was half-baked engineering... They quietly got rid of it after this model.
But it did look great for it's time.
I am really looking forward to the electric cars,,,,,no more going to petrol stations,,,,and no more oil change etc etc,,,minimal maintenance
Electric vehicles to dominate line up at Toyota's Lexus by 2025

TOKYO: Lexus, a luxury auto brand owned by Toyota Motor Corp, said on Tuesday it plans to introduce 20 new or improved models by 2025, of which more than 10 will be electric.
Electrified models such as battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrids and hybrid electric cars will be introduced, the company said in a statement.
Lexus also unveiled a BEV concept car, the "LF-Z Electrified", which will include features such as a new four-wheel driving force control technology.
Two new models will be launched this year, Lexus International President Koji Sato said at an online press conference on Tuesday.
He also said Lexus would open a business and technical centre in March 2024 within the Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama in Japan's Aichi Prefecture.
Toyota launched its all-battery electric Lexus car last year. Carmakers around the world are switching to battery-powered vehicles amid tougher emissions regulations and growing competition to develop zero-emissions vehicles.
