How to trash a Civic Type-R 2004 in 8 hours?

Any high powered saloon based upon a Legacy or Accord, would most likely be viewed as such. They are not within the same class as mid-level German luxury cars like the 5-Series, E-Class, or the Audi.

A Lexus GS could be transformed into a German performance/luxury fighter however, but then Lexus is not really focused along these lines.

lexus are nice to drive especially the 350bhp vertex bi-turbo but they could use the v8 from the sc430 and let trd of toyota fettle with it and a turbo on that engine and dumping it in a modded lighter weight gs430 could be a black day for stuttgart

Or at least a gray one.
I'd like to see the Japanese get in on the super sedan competition. It's pretty much a closed circus for BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and outside competition from Jaguar. An entry from Lexus would be a fresh addition. And with a twin-turbo V8, TRD developed Lexus GS, they could have a real player. I can see it being more along the lines of a Japanese AMG.

In the U.S., Toyota is trying to break into the sports truck segment, so why not a Lexus super sedan?

maybe the manufacturers should listen in on these kind of forums they could get a lot of ideas from us

[LateNightCable]

I think someone does listen, and once in a while, the suits listen too.

then if lexus made a super saloon they would have to thank us

[LateNightCable]

And in thanks, they can name a limited edition after us.

Lexus GS450 TRD CarPassion Edition

And make sure it has plenty of that good old fashioned turbo lag!

[zit]

yep lots of turbo lag!!!
