First Drive: 2013 Lexus IS 350 and IS 350 F Sport

Photos by Ulysses Ang and Lexus Press
It takes balls to launch an all-new car on the race track, much less drive it before it’s unveiled to the public. Why? Well, for one, it’s easier for enthusiasts to pass judgment on the car based solely on their experience flogging it on the track. And second, track driving typically magnifies a car’s weakness and can even reduce a perceived strength. In short, it’s a tight rope walk—toeing the fine line between expectation and reality. And where 99 percent of cars fail, the all-new Lexus IS 350 succeeds, managing to exceed expectations by a whole quarter mile.

Lexus Manila Unleashes 2017 IS Sedan (w/ Specs)


The Lexus IS has been a game-changer in all sorts of ways for Lexus Manila. Responsible for the brand’s continuously robust growth, the third-generation IS has found its way to 442 garages in the Philippines since its market introduction in 2013. This year, the “Intelligent Sport” sedan sees a round of enhancements, both aesthetically and mechanically, to keep its segment leader status in power, prestige, and of course, in the Lexus mindset, perfection.

Review: 2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport


This here is the 2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport, my new favorite sports sedan. At P 3.808 million, it’s more expensive than most, if not all of the local German offerings—the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but none can hold a candle to it. At the heart of all this is what the brand calls the “Lexus Driving Signature.” It’s supposed to deliver a more linear, more engaging drive in every aspect. It sure sounds like market nonsense at first, but at the end of the day, it does just that: deliver a better sports sedan.

Review: 2021 Lexus IS 300h Premier


The words “hybrid” and “sports sedan” don’t normally go together, but if there’s one company that’ll make it work, it would be Lexus. After all, since their first-ever gasoline-electric offering in 2005, Toyota’s premium division has managed to move around two million of them in a span of 16 years. Of course, it’s one thing to electrify an SUV, but it’s entirely different to shoehorn a powertrain known for frugality in a vehicle known for driving fun and handling, the sports sedan. With that, how does the Lexus IS 300h fair?

What Is Lexus Driving Signature?


Lexus believes that creating new standards of luxury is not simply a matter of adding more equipment, features, and technologies. The bigger goal is to not only produce progressive luxury that welcomes and cares for the vehicle’s occupants and anticipates their needs–but also make the driver feel perfectly connected to the car.

An Eye on the Past, a Glimpse into the Future: 2013 Toyota Global Media Tour

Photos by Ulysses Ang
Toyota has been harping a lot about being “Fun to Drive, Again” lately; in fact, it has become their official marketing slogan in Japan. And though the end result is cars that are indeed more engaging behind the wheel; for Toyota, the change is happening from the ground up. For the bi-annual pilgrimage centered on the Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota Motor Corporation brought the global media together and showcased their company’s history as well as offering a glimpse into its future. Indeed, throughout the six days, Toyota is focused with one eye at its rich history of innovation and engineering with the other eye looking out for future design and technologies.

Review: 2021 Lexus NX 300h


How ever you look at it, the Lexus NX is a product born from “conquest marketing.” The term, which revolves around convincing potential buyers who would otherwise not be your main base, aptly describes who Lexus is going for with this premium compact SUV. Lexus’s expansion has been methodological, if a bit slow. Starting with just one large sedan, the LS and one large SUV, the LX, they’ve expanded to cover the mid-sized segment with the ES sedan and RX SUV as well. But with their rivals from Munich, Stuttgart, and Ingolstadt all going one segment lower, Lexus had to get into the party, and thus, the NX was born.

Review: 2021 Lexus UX 200 F Sport


What’s in a label? On one hand, the overall shape and form of the Lexus UX says it is a hatchback, but the plastic cladding and (slightly) raised ride height says it is an SUV. Regardless of label though, Lexus perfectly understands that everyone wants crossovers these days, and they have decided to make their entry-level model exactly that. Whatever you use to describe the UX though—hatchback, SUV, or crossover—it is, without a doubt, a stunner. Note to others: this is how entry-level models should be done.
