Lexus today announced a $75,950 starting price for its updated 2020 GX luxury utility vehicle, which boasts revised styling and more standard safety and off-road technology. For $1,550 more than the outgoing base model, the 2020 Lexus GX adds as standard equipment Lexus Safety System +, the brand's suite of active safety and driver assist feat

The Lexus GX might not seem like the ideal overlanding rig, but it's found surprising popularity with the off-road crowd. Why not, since it offers a rugged body-on-frame chassis and real four-by-four low-range running gear related to the legendary Toyota 4Runner – but then comes with lots more luxury and a V8 engine. So Lexus has just released a ne

Part of the Lexus Milestones event was a chance to drive the automaker's entire lineup. Well, most of the lineup, at least. It included the 2020 Lexus RX and 2020 Lexus GX crossovers, both having received Lexus calls minor changes. That means no new stampings – usually. The RX 350 and 450h are an exception, getting a few sheet-metal changes; but th

Consumer Reports, the independent and non-profit champion of All Things Reliable, has published its 2016 list of the 10 most reliable cars and, surprise-surprise, fully half the list is comprised of Toyota and Lexus models. But right off the top, we'll point out what we see as a flaw in CR's normally solid reliability reporting: nearly half of

It's the most wonderful time of the year – unless your car or truck has recently been stolen, which seems to be more likely every year, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada's (IBC) latest statistics. The national organization that represents Canadian insurance companies has released its latest vehicle theft numbers, which indicate that ca

While Canada was enjoying the Victoria Day holiday Monday, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and airbag manufacturer Takata Corp. were busy announcing the latest round of airbag inflator recalls. This batch affects Toyota vehicles sold between model years 2006 and 2011; Automotive News is reporting a total of 1.6

Car thieves have stolen more than 100 Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the Ottawa region so far this year using a new tech-savvy method. According to the CBC , thieves are using a radio signal booster to increase the signal of the vehicles' electronic key fobs to start the vehicles while they are parked in the owners' driveways. The vehicles are the

Every year, the Insurance Bureau of Canada releases a list of the most stolen vehicles in Canada. This year holds a bit of a surprise, with the Ford Super Duty getting bumped from the top spot for the first time in three years. While numbers for 2017 are yet to be released, Statistics Canada reported just under 79,000 motor vehicle thefts in 2

It's not easy to rate long-term reliability of a vehicle. After all, no matter what the make or model, it can be easier to find a few customers with issues than the many who did not. Each year Consumer Reports surveys its members about their vehicles, as well as other consumer goods they've purchased. And they have a lot of members. For the 2020

Simple is best, it’s often said. Point in case: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, relatively recent features that are fast becoming favourites among drivers. One reason for their huge success: it’s all “plug and play”. No sub-menu navigation, no half hour pairing your Bluetooth to connect your phone. You take your cable, plug in your phone, and vo

Lexus brought not one but two limited edition models to unveil at the 2019 Vancouver International Auto Show: the IS 300 F Sport Black Line Edition and the LC 500 Inspiration Series, the former making its North American debut, the latter a Canadian debut. 2019 Lexus IS 300 F Sport Black Line Edition Available in black (of course), si

The Lexus IS has been with us for quite a while, and the current version arrived in 2013. The IS 300 is a new trim for this generation, flanked by the also-new IS 200t on the lower end and the top-trim IS 350. I think the tail light signature looks great in the dark. Frankly, I think the whole car looks great. The front end of the IS

Lexus wowed the world with its insane LFA, which we first saw in production guise in late 2009. It was crazy expensive, sported a carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer body and other technology straight from the race circuit – and a nutty high-revving 552 hp V10. Lexus claimed that all cars produced were sold, but it is common knowledge that unsold sampl
