Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:56, 17 February 2006

As far as I can tell, Lexus uses spaces in their model names (e.g., ES 330 instead of ES330). Their press room indicates that this has been going back to at least 1995. I'm not sure about models before that; but, it seems that there's recent consistency in their naming schemes.

I recommend aligning all Lexus references to what is fairly obviously a corporate standard. Any thoughts? --Milkmandan 21:59, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)

Asked and answered. You're right, and it looks like we have a new standard to comply with! --SFoskett 00:37, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)

OK, I've just gone through all the pages that link to Lexus or any of the individual Lexus model pages and have cleaned everything up. The vast majority (~60 pages) already used the proper notation, and I fixed roughly 20 others. This scan would miss anything that isn't linked to either of those sets of pages, though. --Milkmandan 01:54, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)

At the end of the article, what does "F1" refer to? Formula One?

I Am an Automotive engineer & I dont agree with the statment of "Nothing compares to a lexus automobile" I think its a biased statement, what is the base for such statement???

Plural of Lexus

If anyone knows what it is officially, plese post it.

Personally, i like "Lexi" /leks-eye/, but i doubt that's correct.

Um, it's a brand name. How could something be "correct" when it's an invented word? I'd go with "Lexuses." Moncrief 17:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Marque?

What is a "marque"? This article is extremely poorly-written. It sounds like it was written by someone for whom English is a second or maybe third language. Moncrief 17:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Stupid Comments

The automotive engineer should not be so picky over how someone decides to spell out a model name. As far as i can see there are no spaces and this is from lexus themselves. What else could F1 relate to in the automotive world? Bit of a dumb question to me. Someone that does not know what marque should use a dictionary before suggesting it is a poorly-written article because they are not educated enough to find out what it is.

One of the finest three?

The statment that Lexus is one of the three finest automakers in the world is highly arbitary and opinionated. Maserati, Bentley, Cadillac or Lincoln owners might beg to differ. The statment was removed since it was POV and not encyclopedia material. Gerdbrendel 02:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Year of Introduction?

I came over just to see when the Lexus was introduced. The answer is not obvious. Paul, in Saudi 11:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

It clearly says it was introduced in 1989 in the US and 1990 elsewhere (I assume the rest of the world, not just the UK and Australia). I definately saw them in Saudi by 1991 at the latest anyway (I lived there at the time ^_^) --Zilog Jones 21:24, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Neutrality

It says that Lexus focuses on luxury and BMW and Mercedes does not. This is favored toward lexus, as is many comments in the service section of this article

NPOV tag

I have added this tag because the article appears to need a thorough cleanup; right now it is severely pro-Lexus to the point of borderline advertising. (ESkog) 02:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

NPOV tag

I think the tag should poof, the statement "It's one of the finest automakers in the world" is appropiately vague, and something nearly every highend automaker uses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Movax (talk • contribs) 23:47, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• That is one of only several statements I have a problem with... there are problems with both blatant cheerleading and a lot of weasel words:
  • Lexus has proven itself a worthy competitor...
  • Lexus is now considered one of the finest automobile makers in the world.
  • Lexus maintains core values of luxury, service, value and superior reliability
  • was widely praised for its silence
  • The waiting areas in the service departments are very comfortable.
  • The tools are kept neatly in drawers and racks and not scattered as is usual in service departments
• I don't think any of these statements (and there are many others) should be in an encyclopedia article, and I am replacing the NPOV tag in hopes that someone more knowledgeable than I can source, reword, or delete these claims as appropriate. (ESkog) 00:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite

Ok, I did a rewrite/reformat/copy edit of this article, in an attempt to remove the rather blatant pro-Lexus marketing language that most of the article consisted of. Note that I removed almost no information, just the glowing praise and POV wording.

I did, however, clean up some grammar/punctuation issues and fix or reformat some inefficient Wiki redirects and broken links, so even if you don't like what I've done, please add information back selectively instead of performing a wholesale revert.

Typical Import Nonsense

There is such bullshit being written on wikipedia about imports, particularly japanese, by little kids who know nothing of automobiles. So many of the pages have utter nonsense. Here's a Gem: "The Nissan VG engine can easily handle 1000hp" Relevance? Citation? I also found out that the Infiniti G20 is a tuner car, casue its easy to modify. Come on, get some sense. 192.197.71.189 17:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

What? Nothing you're mentioning seems to have anything to do with this page. Do you have any specific points about the Lexus article?

New organization

This article should be reorganized:

first, a history section

then, one on lexus today

then, a section on lexus cars

and then, links

i'll do it if no one does. thanks, Theonlyedge 02:56, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
