Bugatti Veyron vs Lamborghini Aventador vs Lexus LFA vs McLaren MP4-12C - Head 2 Head Episode 8
Form and function are two concepts often compete for the same space as the beauty and style of an object, can be difficult to remember when adding functionality, usability entrenched an object the 2017 Lexus iS sedan is a perfect example of a motor battlefield where the two concepts do battle and in the case, the Lexus shape is winning.
Let's back up a bit, I drive the revised 2017 Lexus IS 200T F Sport sedan this week, the 2 0 liter turbo-four powered, sports RWD sedan from Toyota's luxury brand This 3 competitor in the compact series offers suspension taught summer performance tires, sexy bodylines, and an interior beautifully designed, all powered by 241 horses There are negative on the SI, but relatively few the biggest complaint, however, is the lack functionality in its central console.
Lexus designers have done an amazing job outlining the dashboard, steering wheel and center console Unfortunately, they seemed to forget how Americans use their cars is simply a lack of handy storage space and usable cup holders.
Two cupholders are placed too far back, making it difficult to reach for drinks Worse, the presence of cups makes the left arm of orphan passenger, consuming all the space in the armrest to benefit rider shotgun the cup holders are also too small for the larger beverage containers in the second place, there is no space for cell phones, wallets, and other odds and people tend to store in a cubbyhole of the console Yes, it is the storage compartment under the armrest, but it is not the most convenient place for the items.
The cure for this form of the layout of the function is simple if it doesn t change anything think of IS as car Of course, the vast majority of buyers IS Americans use the car as a daily means of transport lead, but the designers apparently thought coin trays, convenient storage bins and cupholders weren t necessary for driving task and then they are right in the purest sense of a sports car, the lack ease of daily use is unwelcomely compromised.
The misstep didnt diminish my appreciation for the IS sedan, but would make the property a little harder Let Lexus hopes to find a way to inject functionality into the cockpit of the next generation.
It could have been a joke, but it's a damn good idea.
So now that April 1 has come and gone, and the world was able to separate fact from fiction, I mean a joke April Fool that you should not be a joke Lexus Lane Jack, he was obviously a complete joke was moved a little early, but how many times have you found yourself raging behind the wheel because some inconsiderate, self-righteous, smoking pole in a BMW, Mercedes, or even Lexus is cruising on the left lane to five mph below the speed limit or, how about you and pop lost mom on a Sunday drive Personally, I happen all the time, and it pisses me off after all I am important and have important things to do.
Of course, we have something like n Valet Lane, so my method of struggle against the situation is to wait a clearing, zip around the prick who thinks he owns the left lane, and return the bird on the moonroof on my way through as I go on my mission to break the speed limit and get to my destination 1 3 minutes earlier than I would if I had followed the law, but it is not the the point the point is, get the hell out of the way I'm sure many of you are important people feel the same way.
So with that said, I say that this technology has to become a real thing in the near future, it will be perfect for this time which is between the massive introduction of connected cars and when we re outlawed lead us anyway hell, I used technology three times this morning on my way to the office, so why not anyway, check out the video and let me know what you think.

Certainly brands aren t automatic deposits signs that business will use the names he's fixing to a production model soon to be released, for all we know, Toyota simply protecting the names of so other companies may use t this is different if the Lexus SC F is a car that's on it's way You can take that to the bank.
Consider this Lexus wants SC to become its answer to sports cars established as the Porsche 911 is an ambitious target, but it can be done if the automaker has the horses to the 911 sweat here is the thing that peaks the current range LC with 500 LC and its 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque numbers These are good figures, but not good enough if Lexus really hope to compete against cars like the Porsche 911, much less two variants top dog, 540-horsepower 911 Turbo and the 580-horsepower 911 Turbo S.
A range topping F LC would help fill that void for Lexus It's going to have to develop the heck out of it, but with the options he has in his gift elimination sleep t LC F get some form of hybrid turbos or even help it wouldn t be too much of a stretch to see the F LC serious punch packaging that can shoot down a German titan or two.
