“One reason I’ve always recommended Lexus over its German rivals is reliability and lower cost of servicing.”

AMEN and roger that, best thing its built tough by Toyota

The video while very nice, why didnt it have commentary?

Would like to know is the back seat as roomy as a Monaro, how hard is it to get into the back-seat their with the roof on?

For mine, best car released in 2009!

You need to add a “$” in front of the 79,900

Jammedfig,your at it again twisting things around when your wrong.

What Camaski said was that the reason Lexus have a waiting list is they choose not to have a big production run,20 a month is pathetic just to show customers they have something exclusive.

What I said about JD powers was clearly their surveys have no bearing on sales given that BMW is 12th on their list yet sales wise its number 1 in the USA. As I said surveys mean nothing and no one really listens to them unless your an idiot of course.

Just because I show you up you assume I drive a Commodore,lol thats gold mate.

If a car is sold into a Fleet owned by Government ect then yes it is part of a Fleet program.

That would include BMW and Merc anyway cause they are used by Police and as Taxis in Europe.

FIGJAM you need an Atlas mate.

Wheelnut and Miniskip, comparing this to the thousands of fleet sales that Holden make every year has to be drawing one of the longest bows I have ever heard of. Does this also mean that BMW and Mercedes are propping up their sales when they sell limo’s to the various governments around the world? What an absolute load of dribble.

FITIGJAM – We aren’t talking about Australia because as far as I am aware the article [not this one but the one on the IS-F] is about the English/British Police who are going to be using a Fleet of Lexus – just as the Australian Police use a Fleet of Commodores… therefore Miniskip is justified in making the comparison between the two.

As a Fleet is generally accepted to be a relatively large number of cars sold or provided to one particular customer – such as the Police Force etc

There is no fleet program for any lexus model and all isf’s coming into australia are sold “retail only” the euro deal would have been a tender deal!

I find it ironic that for months the handful of Lex-ota lovers on this site have been bagging Holden .. saying that the Commodore must be pretty pathetic given that approx 70-80% of sales are to fleet customers
Yet it now appears that Lexus are entering the “Fleet” market as they have obviously signed an agreement to supply a government department with a certain number of cars

Therefore; doesn’t that mean that the IS-F is just as bad as the Holden..? that is in terms of “popularity” with the general public
Particularly when you consider that Lexus only build 15-20 IS-Fs a month and they probably have to supply “the fuzz” with at least 60 cars if not more [4-6 months of production]

If the IS-F is as good as we are lead to believe then surely they would be selling them quicker than they could make them and they wouldn’t have to worry about Fleets
