I feel like they are doing a Infiniti, Acura when they changed their name structure and ruined their brand | That's a good thing - the CT had hella head gasket issues.
My mom turned down the standard RAV4 Hybrid and RX Hybrids - apparently the engine was "too loud for a new car" and so we're waiting for for a plugin NX/RAV.

I feel like they are doing a Infiniti, Acura when they changed their name structure and ruined their brand | RX, GX, LX has been around forever. RX is uprated Highlander, GX is LC Prado, LX is big LC.
The TX replaces the RXL which was their 7 seat version of the RX, which means TX will be an uprated Grand Highlander.
NX is their mid size offering that started awhile ago which is similar to the Rav4/Venza.

I feel like they are doing a Infiniti, Acura when they changed their name structure and ruined their brand | yes they've gone insane. I honestly will not buy another lexus product nowadays. The ratrolla is the last one im willing to purchase unless they bring over the LM mini van thingy.
Even the LX has gone v6 twin turbo instead of the usual v8. 
that TX is basically the Grand Highlander and both of those are North American models only (also built in USA only) so not a global car.

GS is gone. It was a weird product since the ES (upscaled Avalon) did the whole luxury comfort sedan thing much better than the GS.

The GS was discontinued a while ago and it was RWD or AWD, not FWD. The only FWD sedan in the Lexus lineup is the ES and they are made in Canada I think.

Toyota Tahara Plant (Tahara, Japan): Lexus LS, IS, GX, LX, & RC
Toyota Yoshiwara Plant (Toyota, Aichi, Japan): Lexus LX
Toyota Motor Kyushu (Miyawaka, Fukuoka, Japan): Lexus UX
Toyota Miyata Plant (Miyawaka, Fukuoka, Japan): Lexus IS & ES
Toyota Motomachi Plant (Toyota, Aichi, Japan): Lexus LC
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, Inc. (Cambridge, Ontario, Canada): Lexus NX, NX Hybrid, RX, & RX Hybrid
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, Inc. (Georgetown, Kentucky, United States): Lexus ES
Don’t buy an ES NX TX or RX. Those are all made in North America. The rest are still built in Japan. With the LC being built in motomachi. Aka flagship plant, same plant where the GR ratrolla comes from and the Toyota crown / century and previously the LFA. https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=Q940i...ature=youtu.be
Motomachi is some hardcore shit. Staffed by takumi’s that come from the lesser Japanese factory.
I’m gonna go tour that factory next year and see them produce LCs in person. Also gonna see if they have some cool Toyota swag to pickup.

Not Japanese unfortunately | The NX 450h+ PHEV has been out for quite for a while now but is hard to get, though easier than the RAV4 Prime. The RX and TX also have PHEV options, but they're $$$$.

The NX PHEV is 90k+ out the door. At the price point it's hard to justify. But my brother and a friend both bought them.....

at the rates they currently want, i dont know how anyone could. Like when i was doing my ratrolla purchase, they wanted 4.9% and i was like laughing cuz 0 down, the montlhy would have been $2500 bucks.
Now its at 8.9% and that monthly is like almost $2900 a month with 0 down and throughout a 48 month lease, you'll be paying like 40k worth of interest alone.

Yup, MSRP's have gone up for all manufacturers. I purchased my 2021 X5, fully loaded for around $87k and at that time BMW was offering 1.9% + loyalty reductions. Now the same X5 has a MSRP of close to $90k before options.
And high rates will likely stick around for high demand cars.

Toyota and Lexus don't do custom order, you get what the factory produces and they all came loaded. You only get to pick exterior colour. Quote:

I miss the days of paying 0.24% on our X3. I can't even lease a M340 now with the payments I had on my M3.

I helped someone spec a '23 X7 as a lease-end replacement with similar options and it's $35k more + luxury tax - he ended up buying out his lease instead.
I always assumed the base NX450+ was spec'd just to get the incentive - don't think there was motivation to offer it when there's issues with supply chain and a big wait list.
Think there was a base F80 M3 6MT in Yas Marina Blue - not sure if it's still in the lower mainland nowadays.

He's paid a close to a $100 YTD lol. 
The 4.99% is on select inventory but I received an e-mail from BJBMW offering 1.9% on a new 7 series demo.
