Newport Lexus

If there's one thing that's remained a constant with Lexus, it's consistency. The air of curated conventionality their line-up possesses is a fresh breath in a time where carmakers are equally concerned about trying to redefine words as they are with the business of car-making. Coupé certainly doesn't mean what it did 30, 40 years ago...

Confession time: I’m one of those who firmly believes in the manual transmission supremacy in specific types of cars, i.e., Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, Mazda MX-5, or the Toyota GR Yaris. These are the types of cars that want you to be involved in the act of driving instead of merely manoeuvring it. It’s not about sheer speed, it’s all about the sensation, the communication between you as the driver and the car. They won’t flatter poor driving and yet, won’t punish you for it either. They provide feed
