@@avdp9095 Toyota's image is still strong. The sale figures proves that. Toyota has never been perfect. They always had some issues and recalls.

Toyota isn’t boring to drive, it’s just some of the interior in their car is outright horrendous and some cars are just ugly. And before you say “reliability”, if people are spending over $10k, reliability is the bare minimum that you’re suppposed to provide. That doesn’t mean that Toyota is a bad company.

Kirk, It breaks my heart to see Lexus sells more cars today than they did when you were one of their salesmen. 😉😉🤣 On a serious note, it is time for Toyota to capitalize on this momentum. They should build more factories in the USA and Canada to meet the demand for their products. Other carmakers are in terminal decline and too many potential customers are waiting too long for their new car from Lexus/Toyota. 😁
I have a fun conspiracy theory! Toyota is developing the next generation Toyota Fortuner and it will have a Lexus cousin called the HX slotting below the GX. This all ties back to the truck the Fortuner is based off of, the Hilux! I also wouldn’t mind if it were called the KX instead. Hahaha alright Toyota/Lexus, please make this vehicle!

19:45 coz most of their issues are internal. They havent done anything to seriously harm their customer relationship. “Seriously harm” here is relative speak ofcourse. People still didnt like the fact that their trucks are more complicated, hence reducing reliability. But atleast they never alienated their own customer base.

In my city I see so many Lexus suvs, much more so than Acura and Infiniti, and even the German brands. I myself also have 2019 RX and my mom has a 2009 RX. Once you drive LExus, you wont like any other brand. Lexus may not be the best at everything, but it is such well rounded and makes better cars than anyone
I second that. I sold my 16 IS and bought a 24. Didn't even look at other brands. My 16 was perfect. No issues,no oil burning and I drove it hard. I also took good care of it. Probably the best service records at that dealership. Change the fluids and don't look back. Hope your enjoying your well made machine. Listen to the media and they will tell you how much better the German brands are. It is ridiculous from my point of view
@@Snoopymk37 no surprise there. Every one I see on the road makes me smile. We love them here in northeast Ohio. Very popular in the northeast. We know quality when we see them. There seems to be a disconnect between auto journalist and the general public. Something I've noticed over the years. They say Lexus isn't exciting anymore and not trying to be competitive. They are having a record year so far. That RX looks better than anything out there in its class and I bet is built better than anything else also. Amazing looking machine
I predicted this months ago, because it is obvious that Toyota has done the right thing of adding hybrid to over half of their products, which is the right product kind for 2024. The infrastructure is not up to snuff, will take many years. But look at those RAV4 sales. Unbelievable numbers there. Almost 42k/month. That is a super successful product; stomping the Honda CRV.
Civic hybrid is a nice looking car. I'd get one if I was in the market for a compact car, alas, I need a mid-size SUV (or if Toyota/Honda would please make a wagon).
People buy Toyota because they do not want to. Same with Lexus but Lexus is for those who are coming from economy standard car brands. People are not leaving Range Rovers to come to Lexus. Different classes of buyers and leases. Those who know about leases and business write off know that Toyota & Lexus suck when it comes to leases which is why it's kinda rare to see Lexus. I drove from Jacksonville FL to Key Biscayne, FL and I didn't see any TX, GX, or LX but I saw multiple X7, GLS, Escalade, Range Rover, and Yukon XL Denali.
Yes please keep using the highlighter. I usually watch on my phone and have a hard time tracking what you’re talking about. The highlighter makes it easier.
Honest truth is the Tacoma's problem is not engine, navigate had done the same exact thing did with the Camry can you but the price was still the same tacomas would sell like hotcakes. Everyone was waiting for a Tacoma until they saw the price, even though its price along with every truck in the market it is still expensive
New Tacoma is already the number one selling mid size truck in it's segment after Q1 and Q2. So it's selling very well And outselling it's rivals like always.Infact it even outsold the so called cheaper frontier by 25.000+ plus trucks in Q2. so there is no problem with the Tacoma sales. Instead it's a simple case of were the last gen had no serious competition so it basically had a monopoly. however now it has tough rivals but it's still the leading segment by a big margin. overall for everyone price is not a issue.
@@Mylifeislegendary982. I agree with you but picture it at the last gen price or just over like they do on new models it won't even be a conversion lol
@@double__de7387 look if the Tacoma is outselling a affordable frontier by 25.000+ plus trucks then it shows price really has no issue and conversion/criticism/noise.will always happen when a brand new gen is introduced but it dies out eventually .so far as Toyota has nothing to worry. I give you this has a fact .the new tundra despite all the noise/hate and other stuff it's sales are going up everytime.
@@Mylifeislegendary982.they shot themselves in the foot with that pricing… BUT, despite that, people would still prefer a Taco over anything else. Basically, they let themselves down. Its the case where the A+ student “only” got an A, while everyone else still maintained their Bs n Cs. Tacos are still top dogs in terms of outright sales, but against themselves for last year? Yeah… ouch.
@@arsyadidris6349 Old Tacoma did get A+ That is because the exams was with poor standards and lack of serious competition. New Tacoma is A+ in a extremely challenging and with proper competition. Overall the new Tacoma is going to remain number one selling mid size truck in it's segment while actually been a good vehicle.
Kudos to Lexus but remember they’ve never had more models in their lineup… let’s see how all these turbo/hybrids/etc. last over time. Remember they built their reputation on naturally aspirated engines.
Throw the V8 back in the Tacoma and call it a day. They would sell out without a doubt. When you buy a truck of that size gas mileage isn't a priority. I love the new styling
I don’t care what people say, the TX is ugly, don’t like that front spindle grill. If Toyota hadn’t given up on the regular highlander, not updating it on the exterior and putting in that turbo, it would still sell like crazy. It was the #1 selling SUV for years.
That horizontal slat just look super lazy. Smthing like the RX grille wudve been more interesting. Note, i said “interesting”. I didnt say it was gonna look good😅. Atleast u can see effort from the designers. I mean… seriously? Featureless Horizontal slats? Come on…
Maybe. I think the Prius will always exist to showcase Toyotas latest hybrid generation since the Prius always gets it first then it trickles to everything else
Prius was, and is, the hybrid flagbearer. If prius sales tanked, but toyota’s overall sales maintained with a decent chunk of that sales being hybrids… well, the prius did its job. And the prius has done its job: 30% of global toyota sales last year were hybrids. It even maintained its own sales thanks to this new one.
I don't consider Lexus to be a luxury brand anymore given the cheap looking interior finishes they are offering these days (like the new GX and TX). Imagine what their sales would be if they were still true "Luxury" vehicles. I think they have lost my business. If they can show these kind of sales figures I guess they don't have to care. Good for them.
This. They’re making more money than ever. They don’t care, and probably never will for now. People are buying them. People buying them are the problem, and they are ruining the company.
the really nice ones are usually reserved for the top trim models, and even that depend on the models. Coz the RX cabin in top trim is spectacular. And the LS… well, its an LS… too bad nobody wants them.
I have been a 4Runner buyer for decades. I will not be buying the 2025 4Runner, due to pricing and 4 banger turbo. Instead, I will be buying the 2025 Mazda CX-90. Toyota lost another loyal customer!

@@chibbyyloli actly have to agree with the first guy. Globally, the bz4x managed 100k sales, mostly in china. And that was from a pretty lazy attempt. Imagine how much better their BEV sales would be in China if they took this seriously
One thing is getting paid $2.70 per hour as an assembly plant contracting worker without benefits versus a shortage of workers in Mexico. There is not a such thing shortage of skilled workers in MX. That’s BS from Toyota.
Lexus is going the way of Cadillac. They rebadged to make Catera and Cimeron out of their average market cars. Boring, ugly and porter quality than the label suggests.
Lexus makes excellent luxury vehicles with excellent quality like always. Exterior designs are very good and quality is very good like always. So you are wrong and that's ok.

Toyota must restructure its USa management....asap. The Tundra is a complete disaster, from start, same for the new Tacoma, lits of issues.
Toyota needs better quality standards and control. And Bev's! At least in Europe.
Kia and Hyundai are way ahead of Toyota in many area's as well as Byd and Geely......😢😢😢😢😢
We don't hear any update of Solid State Batteries and all the new Lexus and Toyota Bev's...... .
Toyota must do more and better.
Toyota is selling more electrified vehicles than ever and bz4x / rz sales are up. they're doing fine
@@chibbyylol
You have to admit that the BZ4X/RZ is terrible.
You don't hear anything about the solid state batteries because the battery plant in North America isn't built yet.
@@chibbyyloli actly have to agree with the first guy. Globally, the bz4x managed 100k sales, mostly in china.
And that was from a pretty lazy attempt. Imagine how much better their BEV sales would be in China if they took this seriously
One thing is getting paid $2.70 per hour as an assembly plant contracting worker without benefits versus a shortage of workers in Mexico. There is not a such thing shortage of skilled workers in MX. That’s BS from Toyota.
Lots of skill no doubt ... they know their worth and look for greener pastures
Stop buying Lexus and start buying Acura
😂😂😂
@@naveenthemachine Says the butt hurt troll who is so jealous of Lexus.
Comment deleted Naveen
Hate to tell you this but Acura is a dying brand As is infinity they are both in trouble
@@njad3 stop buying Acura and stop buying a Pinto and go ahead and buy a bike.
Lexus is going the way of Cadillac. They rebadged to make Catera and Cimeron out of their average market cars. Boring, ugly and porter quality than the label suggests.
Lexus makes excellent luxury vehicles with excellent quality like always. Exterior designs are very good and quality is very good like always. So you are wrong and that's ok.
@@Mylifeislegendary982. I don’t see them as a luxury car… maybe premium but having engine failures airbag failures and flimsy American assembly does keep them above Mercedes.
That is a ridiculous comment lol
@@kurtgrundel4045 blah blah 😂
Havent they done that since the first ES and LX?
