1998 Lexus SC400. 1998, 99, and 00 SC400's differ from earlier models in that they have variable valve timing, which gives 40 more horsepower, a five-speed automatic transmission, and different ground effects (body panels) to reduce drag and enhance styling. They are also more reliable as most of the electrical and component problems have been worked out. These are the premium years for this model and they are more valuable and collectible than earlier models.

This car is Renaissance (Arrest Me!) Red, and it is all original and complete. It is in excellent condition, and will continue to perform well for many more miles. It runs and drives excellent. Everything works. No leaks. No check engine light. No funny noises. All dash and climate control lights are working. Less than 10,000 miles on new Pirelli's.

This car has the power of a big cruiser, and handles like a sports car. It has all the comforts you need for a cross-country trip, and is economical enough to be driven every day (I do). It has power everything, but just a few things that come to mind are: Power Windows, Power Seats, Memory Seats, Power Door Locks, Power Adjustable Steering Wheel, Climate Control, Power Mirrors, Cruise Control, and the list goes on.

I bought the car in 2001, when it had 8000 miles. I am the second owner. It has been well cared for and has never caused me any problems. I had the major service (timing belt, water pump, etc.) done in 2007 when it had 117,000 miles. I had a 1992 SC400 before this one, and I drove it 215,000 miles before trading it in on this one. They are excellent and reliable cars. I am selling it because I just bought a Jaguar.

Lexus applies to trademark UX 300h in U.S., Europe, and Australia

Fri, Nov 18 2022

The Lexus UX is entering its fourth model year in 2023, having gone into production at the end of 2018 as a 2019 offering. The NX and RX have lately lasted seven years before a new generation drops, so the UX is due for a heavy refresh at the least. It's possible the refresh or the next-gen version will bring an upgraded model with more power. Lexus Enthusiast discovered that brand parent Toyota filed a trademark application for the term UX 300h in Europe, CarBuzz found the same application lodged at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and CarSales came across the form in triplicate filed with Australian intellectual property authorities. As always, a trademark application doesn't mean the described product will make it to market. However, there's very good reason for Lexus to take the UX to the next level. The automaker pared the lineup to a single model for 2023, now called the UX Hybrid. The powertrain carries over from its previous guise as the UX 250h, a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder helped by two electric motors and a 1.4-kWh battery, making 181 system horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque. Despite general favor shown for the crossover's appointments and frugality, the repeated ding against it is feeble acceleration. The hybrid system in the NX 300h, based around a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, makes 203 hp and 184 lb-ft, the horsepower figure rising to 215 hp in the ES 300h and as much as 220 hp in the erstwhile IS 300h, so there's headroom if product planners are allowed to use it. Considering the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is slated to get 194 horsepower, the snazzier and luxury-branded UX would seem ripe for engine and power upgrades. With the updated NX and all-new RX on the market now, and the Corolla Cross Hybrid coming for next year, we won't be surprised if Lexus doesn't wait for the second-gen UX to bolster the spec sheet.

2015 Lexus NX offers bold design, compact luxury

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Meet the all-new NX, Lexus' entry into the space occupied by the likes of the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA. Based off the LF-NX Concept and sharing much of the design language seen on the polarizing IS sedan, the NX looks to be a rather sporty Lexus crossover.
The big news here is under the hood: the NX will be the first Lexus to use a turbocharged engine. That's right, a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder can be found in both the NX 200t and NX 200t F Sport. There will also be an NX 300h, and if Lexus' nomenclature remains consistent, we already know all about that one. As of right now, there aren't a lot of details on either powertrain, although with the NX's Beijing debut still over a week away, here's hoping we know more soon.
As for that design... well, we're waiting to see it up close. The initial reaction from the Autoblog team has been mixed so far. Like the IS, there are plenty of sharp angles, while the front is dominated by the brand's spindle grille. Lexus' designers have refined the shape of the headlights, giving them a cleaner overall look than on the pioneering IS. In back, LED taillights come standard. According to Lexus, 17-inch wheels are the base rollers, while 18s are optional.

Lexus' Detroit reveal is RC F, will have 460-hp V8

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Yesterday, we brought you the image above, sent out by Lexus, teasing its Detroit Auto Show reveal. At the time, all we knew about the car was that it's a coupe, and falls into the automaker's F performance line. But now, some more details have leaked.
An anonymous tipster passed us a link to this website, which Lexus is using to invite folks to an event at the Detroit show where the new RC F coupe will be revealed. But that same tipster also sent us a scan of the mailed-out invitation, shown at right (click the image to enlarge), which clearly states that the RC F will be powered by a 460-horsepower V8. The invite also says Lexus will show its 2015 RC 350 coupe in Detroit, following its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in November.
We cannot totally verify the authenticity of the scanned invitation, but with a corresponding website live on the web, it all looks pretty legit to us. Stay tuned for more details closer to the RC F's debut in January.
