    2023 Lexus RZ450e Luxury: EV Review

    |

    The electric future is here, and…it’s a mixed bag if I’m honest. I’ve driven all kinds of EVs, more than I can even self-promotingly link here, and unfortunately one of my least favorite was the Toyota B-zed-Four-X-ray. The bZ4X has a terrible name that is hard to remember, and I found the drive uninspiring, the…

    All-New 2024 Lexus GX Teaser

    A new day and a new Lexus teaser. This time it is the 2024 Lexus GX. It appears that the front end will not have the extreme “Predator” face. The last generation of GX really leaned into this look and has turned some people away from the truck. Potentially we will see the GX on…

    2024 Lexus TX Teaser

    |

    Lexus is teasing a new vehicle, the 2024 Lexus TX. No release date was shared, and just one image. All I can see when I look at the name is the Lexus Texas, pronounced as “Lejas Tejas.” My gut/sources tell me this is a Lexus version of the Toyota Grand Highlander. The rear structure is almost identical…

    2018 Lexus GX460 Build Project: Adding CarPlay with Grom’s VLine VL2 kit

    Nowadays, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are commonplace in production passenger vehicles. I always enjoy the former when driving new press cars, an appreciation that came about sometime after I had already purchased my 2018 Lexus GX460 which didn’t come with this tech. Thankfully, the automotive aftermarket is flush with ingenuity. To bring my GX’s…

    As you all know, I get a lot of crossovers to review. Not a shock considering the popularity, take a look at any parking lot you’re in and I guarantee it’ll be the prevailing body style. Unless you’re in Texas which will be mostly pickup trucks. Lexus doesn’t sell a pickup, but they sell quite…

    2023 Lexus ES 300h F Sport Handling: Aging Gracefully

    The Lexus ES was, at least for a significant period, a bit of a tarted up Toyota Camry. However, while it is true that the first five generations were basically built off of the Camry platform, the sixth generation ES (2013-2018) was really closer to the Avalon XX40 and the Lexus RX than the Camry.…

    I was going to start this review of the latest Lexus IS 350 by pining about my lust for the original IS 300, but then I remembered something. I already wrote about that back in the Autotrader dot com slash Oversteer days. In fact, that article was inspired by a then recent purchase of a…

    Standard vehicle equipment has come a long, long way. It wasn’t long ago that air bags and air conditioning became commonplace. Now the standard entry-level car can be equipped with countless niceties. Heated seats, adaptive cruise control, Apple CarPlay and so on are all commonplace. We’ve always been a little salty that our 2018 Lexus…

    Hooniverse has housed stories about a select few of my vehicular doings over the years. It started with the Challenger, then the VehiCROSS, MR2, WRX, a 4Runner, Corvette, another 4Runner, a Miata, and a third 4Runner. Now it’s time to introduce my most recent build, a 2018 Lexus GX460. We discuss it regularly on The…
