  • Lexus to launch 1 new model in Malaysia in 2024; is it the all-new LM, RZ BEV, or LBX?

    Lexus will be introducing at least one new model in Malaysia next year, according to the company's latest press statement. However, that one-liner in the release doesn't tell all too much about what model it could be, though realistically it could be either the all-new 2024 Lexus LM, Lexus LBX, or the battery-electric (BEV) Lexus RZ. These are the three most plausible ones, given that the rest of the range have either not been updated yet or, not quite suitable, or no longer offered. For example

  • Malaysia says Yes to 2023 Toyota Alphard / Vellfire, No to Lexus LM, at least for now

    Lexus Malaysia has confirmed that it has no plans to introduce the second-generation Lexus LM this year. This is despite parent company UMW Toyota Motor opening its order books for the latest AH40 generation 2023 Toyota Alphard and Toyota Vellfire. Like a Mercedes-Maybach S580 and a regular S-Class, the Lexus LM builds on the highest Executive Lounge variant of the Toyota Alphard. Lexus Malaysia’s confirmation is not surprising, because the LM has not gone on sale even in Lexus’ home market, Jap

  • All-new 2023 Lexus LM spotted testing in Japan: luxury MPV looks imposing on the road

    The all-new 2023 Lexus LM has been spotted testing in Japan, and in true LM fashion...it looks so far off left-field it's hard to mistake it for anything else.

  • 2023 Lexus LM to debut in Shanghai - A glimpse of how to tell it apart from a fake conversion

    A favourite in Asia, the second-generation Lexus LM will soon be making its debut at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, the same location the outgoing generation LM made its global debut in 2019. To further separate the Lexus LM from the regular Toyota Alphard, the Lexus minivan will be making its debut ahead of the new generation 2023 Toyota Alphard. The latter is expected to make its debut in Japan sometime in the middle of this year. In the outgoing generation Lexus LM, the most obvious visual cue

  • Priced from RM 1.1m , over 20 Malaysian tycoons bought the Lexus LM, 10 more paid for Kiriko glass in LS

    Long ago, I once met the head of Lamborghini’s global sales. Naturally, I asked him how does one sell a Lamborghini. Said person recounted an experience when he was on a boat with this billionaire client, and the conversation diverted to how much it cost to maintain the yacht, irrespective of whether it’s being used or not. The smooth sales person later pointed to the Murcielago (this was many years ago) that was parked by the pier doesn’t even cost nearly as much. And that was how a Lamborghini
