Lexus New Zealand has launched a totally new model, the UX. While Lexus still has the smaller CT200 (which will continue production for the time being) the UX is an all-new model, based on the GA-C platform, with a low centre of gravity, alloy doors, bonnet and front fenders. The rear hatch is made of a mix of polymer resin and...
The Suzuka Sound of Engine, sorry the Richard Mille Suzuka Sound of Engine to give it its proper name, is an annual event held at, you guessed it, Suzuka Circuit. This was the second year it’s been held and the first time I’ve been but I can already say I’ll be going again next year and if you’re reading this thinking about going...
Motoring journalists seem to have a great job. They get to test new cars regularly for a week, drive around, take photos, and write their thoughts down. Exposure to all sorts of different cars can make one jaded and approach cars in a completely different way from the average buyer. It’s a bit like someone who’s a film critic. They...

There's no mistaking this for any of its rivals, that's for sure. The new RX carries on Lexus' current design language and is dominated by that massive spindle grille. From...
Only a complete fool would not be as excited about this press launch as I was. I was totally pumped and had been since I got the invite several weeks before. And rightly so too, as Lexus wanted to launch the new RC and RC F models with a bang, and what they had planned ticked all of my boxes, as it was a two-day launch in the South...
The words "Lexus" and "motorsport" may not come straight to mind when one thinks of either one, but for a decade Lexus has been involved in the Japanese Super GT race series. Basically, the Super GT series is Japan's answer to other international Touring Cars series such as the DTM, BTCC, and the V8 Supercars. The Super GT series are...
This was my first time at an Auto Salon. I didn't know what to expect. I knew there'd be some wild cars, some undoubtedly exotic cars, and lots of models to oggle at.
