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

Bringing the Toyota Alphard to a global market, its high-flying luxury mover twin, the all-new 2023 Lexus LM will be entering the European market for the first time ever. However, due to the continent’s emissions regulations, the Lexus LM will only be offered a hybrid powertrain. At its global debut at the ongoing 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, the second-generation Lexus LM is powered by a 2.4-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine or a 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated hybrid 4-cylinder unit. The l

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.

In a similar vein as the Suzuki Jimny, the Toyota Alphard can be considered the king of resale value, as prices of a used Alphard are higher than a brand-new one. You read that correctly – in China, prices of a three-year-old used Toyota Alphard are, on average, 17 percent higher than a brand-new unit.

In light of the government’s extension of SST discounts on cars to 31-December 2021, Lexus Malaysia has just announced the updated prices for its two models, the LC 500 Convertible and LM 350. As these two models are fully imported from Japan (CBU), the new prices will include a 50% SST rebate. Both models get some significant savings – RM 41,487 for the LM 350 and RM 47,185 for the LC 500 Convertible.

Less than one month after the 2021 Lexus LM 350 was launched in Malaysia, Lexus Malaysia has confirmed with WapCar.my that it has collected nearly 20 orders for the luxury minivan, more than half of it has already been delivered to its elite customers. As you would’ve expected, the Lexus LM 350’s asking price of RM 1,106,513 is hardly a deterrent. Nor is the fact that the Lexus LM costs twice as much as the more plebian Toyota Alphard 3.5L (RM 446,609) but has only half of the latter’s seating c
