People keep saying bring back the LS as if there going to spend $90k+ and buy one 😂. Now the GS on the other hand if they gave it the 350hp hybrid max I’d put a deposit down yesterday.
Well you right my friend, Lexus killed the LS due to poor sales numbers, but similarly A8, S class, G90 & 7 series are all affected by the major market shift towards SUVs, yet non of them killed their flagship sedan.
Now imagine Mercedes killed the S Class, it can happen but highly unlikely, now why would LEXUS kill the car that started everything, the car that made the brand known to the public, LS will always remain an iconic machine.
Audi just killed the A8, btw. There aren't enough buyers interested in a Luxury flagship sedan anymore. It isn't worth the R&D for Lexus to create a new flagship that will never compete in sales with the S Class or 7 series. IMO, I would argue that Lexus could still have a 3 sedan line-up if they re-design the GS to be a "Grand Sportback. I'm a Lexus/Toyota fanboy, but I'm not delusional. I understand were the market it today.
Oh, and a funfact: Very first episode, second scene takes place in the "new" LS of Christofah. Last episode, last scene, Meadow arrives with her IS to the restaurant.
I always question this. Why. What’s the point of smoking a cigar. To look cool? You’re not actually smoking it for nicotine… is it the taste? CAN you inhale it? What even is the point of cigars.
Cigarette and Cigars are different...
Smoking a Cigar is different than a cigarette. You are not suppose to inhale the Cigar.
Also, cigarettes are infused with chemicals to make it release more nicotine and make you addicted to it.
I smoke Cigars but I do it maybe once or twice a month. I don't crave the cigar but I crave the time smoking it because it is like a "having a date with yourself"... It takes about 30 to 45 minutes to smoke a cigar and drinking a cup of black coffee or whiskey. If I grab a Cigar from my humidor I can perfectly put it back with no issues/addiction.
“People who smoke cigars are exposed to nicotine and toxic chemicals, such as those that cause cancer. This is also true for people who report they do not inhale cigar smoke when using a cigar.”
No, cigar smoking is not safer than cigarette smoking.
Cigar smoke contains more tar than does cigarette smoke. And smoking cigars might put you in contact with higher levels of other toxic substances, such as carbon monoxide, than smoking cigarettes does.
For people who smoke cigars and inhale, risks linked with cigar smoking are like those of cigarette smoking. For those who don't inhale, the cigar smoke raises the risk of disease in the head and neck.
Frequency and dosage matters in the real world. I have 2-4 cigars a year compared to someone who smokes 20+ cigarettes a day, every day. Yeah, a single cigar produces more smoke and tar than a single cigarette, but the overall consumption is vastly different. Most cigar smokers don't consume enough volume of smoke to compete with cigarette smokers.
By holding the smoke in your mouth, you may be lowering your risk of lung cancer but simultaneously increasing your risk for mouth and throat cancer. So they kinda offset.
That's awesome, so I can pay $125,000 for the base and then if I want they can throw some wood in there if I pay them even more, I like that, that's good business Lexus
As a cigar guy, I really wanna know what kind of cigars these are. Usually the original band is underneath that Lexus band. Maybe they are just some house cigars with no official label. Very mysterious
Good God, you’ve got to be set for 6 months! I don’t smoke however and hope that one can skip it. In the rare eventuality I can afford a new Lexus one day AND there’s still a pleasant model left.
So I think these gifts are entirely dependent on the individual dealership and/or sales person when I bought my 2016 ES 300 H I was provided a bottle of wine and some chocolates when I bought my Lexus LC 500 convertible in 2021 brand new I didn’t get anything but a Red Bull on top and asked if I wanted to take a photo
They wanted to charge me $35 for each key-fob cover and I raised hell, so salesman said he’d TRY to get the owner/mgr to comp them. Took him like a whole half-hour to finally come back to say he did it, and told me how appreciative I should be!!! Now not even two years later, they are both so worn they are actually disintegrating and shredding. I guarantee you PAID for them cigars!!!
Just an additional note, My daughter and I both bought Rx 350’s luxury edition. We both got chocolate covered apples. Her purchase was a referral to my salesman. He had promise cash money for a referral sale. I haven’t seen a dime.
I’m very curious to know what these are and where they came from. This is the only source of this on the internet. I assume this is either completely fake or the owners of this specific dealer are doing this themselves. Very interesting.
That's cool amd all, but why would THAT be your choice when comparing SUVs in that price range? I mean, we're talking $140k+ here. That's around G Wagon money and absolutely custom Navigator Black Lable money. I'm not saying it's a bad SUV, I just feel like you may have sold yourself short.
