What would happen if the Toyota GR Corolla became a Lexus? Surprisingly, this actually happened with the introduction of the Lexus LBX Morizo RR edition in Tokyo. This is essentially a Toyota GR Corolla (sharing powertrain with GR Yaris) with a different body and interior. It is indeed a Lexus GR Corolla! Shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon, the Lexus LBX Morizo RR is still a concept vehicle but according to the Chief Engineer, this model is going to become available soon. Let's find out what David discussed with the Chief Engineer Mr. Endo of Lexus LBX in Japan.

"I would like to have this LBX version available in North America."

David, We welcome Mr Endo. Lexus has not had a manual since the second generation IS 250. This high performance LBX definitely needs one 🤩

I agree 100%, but as fun as they are and this would be with a manual, the modern auto trannys shift significantly faster than we could so it’s actually better performance, albeit not as fun, outside of bumper to bumper traffic of course lol

Engineer David, you should organize a petition for all of us to lobby Lexus North America, especially the manual version. In my opinion, it would be a fantastic contrast to the Integra Type S instead of the Corolla GR that simply looks too juvenile for someone like me. Where do I sign?

David, Thank you for showing me this, I might have to trade my 2020 TRD Off Road Premium 4Runner in on this if it becomes available in the USA, but I do love my 4Runner so maybe not... I would go test drive it. Thanks again from Florida.

Hi David, Can you upload a second video with full interview including japanese spoken from Endo san and translations. It’s nice to hear from the man himself (his passion) even though some of us don’t know Japanese. The translation is a great part!
@AutomotivePress
@AutomotivePress 4 месяца назад
The video will be 3 times longer if I included the full script, and 99.9% of my viewers do not speak Japanese so it won't make sense unfortunately.

Well done David for going to the effort to organise Mr Endo to speak to you on the channel. I’d imagine the Lexus version of a GR product unless using more weight saving materials or has increased power outputs wouldn’t have the same power to weight ratio as GR. This due to having increased weight with having more luxury items and sound deadening materials.

I don't get it. GR is affiliated with Toyota GR, not Lexus. Unless the Lexus IS 300 is now priced too high for an entry level Lexus buyer. Lexus luxury sports coupes are not very popular these days. Lexus would be better off introducing a moderately priced hybrid or EV sports coupe to compete with Porsche. I would like to see a Lexus EV or hybrid concept car styled like a reimagined Porsche 911. Smaller than the 992. Just like Lexus did with MB in 1989. You can't beat Lexus build quality and Porsche performance.
