Lexus: Lightning Lexuses

maybe because it will probably have a problem with hesitation or lag like
all the recent Lexus models do...

I wouldn't mind having a 600-hp car with a fraction of a second
hesitation problem....

Dude, if you hate your ES so much why are you in here! Save the moaning
for your wife.

I don't think you get it.

Are you saying you'd trade quality for horsepower? Manufacturers just love
to read the stuff you write. They sit around the boardroom table and laugh
at people like you that lovingly accept the crap and mistreatment they dish
out.

It's not about horsepower and quality. It's about money and quality. I
wouldn't expect that hesitation problem in a $12k car. When someone pays
close to $40k for an ES, it should not have such a quality and safety issue.
Further, a company that claims it's "relentless pursuit of perfection", and
then refuses to admit there's any problem with the product, is clearly
thumbing it's nose at it's (previously) loyal customers.

As for Steve Larson, he has paid his dues, and has every right to express
his views and opinions here. He owns a Lexus; it has a problem; and this is
a Lexus ng. I don't see a problem with that.

If Lexus policy is now "Let's make them faster, then maybe, they'll talk
about that and not the lack of quality and poor customer satisfaction", is
that acceptable?

Not to me.

Unless they correct my trans problems, they've lost me as a future customer.
I'm a repeat buyer now, but I see Lexus has lost interest in people like
me - people who merely want what they paid for

>As for Steve Larson, he has paid 

Not when every word out of his mouth is "lag, lag, lag, lag, blah, blah.
blah...". OK, so we know it's a problem, but just stop whining! Nobody
wants to keep hearing it - it makes one's look like a troll.

The specs look nice but I'm not impressed at the styling I've seen so far on

breath in the meantime.

Hi,
I was wondering what happens if I use 85 octane intead 91?
Thanks you

Ah, yes, the eloquence of a true professional, "Dude". I don't need to moan
to my wife, life is very enjoyable at home. But I appreciate your
thoughtful advice.

The point that you are missing is that Lexus needs to be made aware of a
growing problem. The only way to do this is to make many potential buyers
aware of the problems with the Lexus drive by wire system used in all their
automatic tranny vehicles today. Further, it allows current owners to
validate something that they may have noticed themselves, but may not have
mentioned it in the service bay yet.

Please remember to look below the surface anytime you feel the primal urge
to spout off or react to something you don't understand fully. Usually
issues will be more complicated than you give them credit for. I encourage
you to pray for wisdom.

Yeah, blah blah blah, let's just put our head in the sand and ignore the
problem. Typical attitude of the text-messaging generation, all the
attention span and wisdom of a fruit loop.
