I miss the days of you redesigning cars. Nowadays you're just reading out information about the vehicles from Car and Driver. Your redesigns are what made some of us follow you because you did something no one in the industry did. That's what made you unique. Please go back to what set you apart, because right now you're just doing reviews like everybody else.
I agree, he built his audience on redesigns and now he just does simple content. Instead of talking about new cars he should redesign them and make them better.
@@seniraranasinghe645 Oh yeah, you're right. It should be the same transmission though. It seems like pretty good odds that they will put it in the Corolla and this Lexus too.
What an uninformed comment. That’s like saying the gr Corolla is just a Corolla w the gr Yaris engine. It’s much more than that, drive one and you’ll understand.

The LBX is practically a Lexufied European Yaris Cross. The "RR" moniker is a reference to Rookie Racing, which is Akio Toyoda/Morizo's personal race team that uses Yellow for their team color. Hence all those yellow highlights. Rookie Racing is also a place where Toyota usually put their experiments to the limit by going into racing. The Hydrogen ICE tech, a GR86 with a slightly de-stroked GR Yaris/GR Corolla's engine (1.4L vs 1.6L), and also the new 8-speed Auto Transmission found inside the refreshed GR Yaris & this LBX Concept.
Two cars I could see it being cross-shopped with in the US would be the Volkswagen Golf GTI/R (sporty, semi-premium hatchbacks), Acura Integras, and even the upcoming Volvo EX30 (less overtly sporty, but EV, premium brand, and similarly priced). There aren't as many, but there are a decent number of enthusiasts and urban markets are still interested in buying and do buy smallish, premium, and sporty hatchback/small "crossovers" in the US.
I find the relationship between those two cars is closest to that of the Civic Type R and the Integra Type S This might seem like a stretch but I think the LBX will be cross-shopped with the Integra
For me, the LBX should have been more lower than this elevated hatchback. I like the design overall but on this special edition, I don't like the front corners design theme.
a good design indeed with real sharp angles and violent graphics that makes it nervous and sporty. BUT YOU NOTICED.....all actual designs are nearly the same. this common inspiration sources kills the personnality.
Lexus makes terrific cars, but it’s hard to forget the, “it’s just a Toyota with better seats.” thing when they are making these small, hatchback type cars that just scream Corolla. Mercedes, BMW and Audi all failed with small cheaper cars.
