Got to the boot sizes for an A4 Avant within 5 mouse clicks.

Still no joy on the Lexus web****e - well for the LS anyhow - found it for all the others - in m3 - WTF is that about - give me litres and I can compare it with everything else out there.

Or is this a cunning trick by Lexus as their boots are titchy???

Oh, and where are the estates - how am I supposed to nip up the tip??

Don't suggest an Rx as I'm a bloke and not a school run mum!!

As and is22d se owner i can confirm the boot is tiny , the rear legroom is pityful , the reliability is woeful the fuel consumption bordering on libelus , and genrally the worst car lexus ever prodused ...

oh and befre mr maindealer jumps on his high horse we have had a long string of the competitors so i know my apples .... and don't quote me euro 5 complience on the economy thing , the lexus diesel is crap.

oh Mr Lexusmain dealer tell the boys and girls what the manual says is the correct speed to change into 6th gear ?

go on tell them .

You are correct my friend, it is pooh. Thankfully the new model (arriving in showrooms now so please get down to your nearest dealership and have a look) will be available for release in March and it is much better indeed. CO2 levels are at 148 and it is greatly improved.

Just found a conversion website for m3 to litres....

The RX400h has a boot capacity of 0.439m3 thats 439 litres to you an me guv'nor.

The GS460 has a boot capacity of 0.430m3, thats 430 litres.

So some of the 'biggest' cars on the road... let's compare...

Ford Fiesta - with steel wheel - 281 litres

Ford Fiesta - with tyre repair - 295 litres

Ford Fusion - with seats 'up' - 337 litres

Ford Focus hatch - with full spare - 282 litres

- with mini spare - 385 litres

Ford Focus saloon - with full spare - 467 litres

- with mini spare - 526 litres

So there you have it - a Ford Focus SALOON has more boot space than a whopping great Lexus 4x4 or saloon - even the Fusion and Fiesta aren't that far off!!

LMD - Regarding 'sell me a car'. You fail. Miserably. You spout on about quality, coffee and fancy showrooms. I (and all the other potential customers on TSN) care not a jot for hot air. Sure, once a potential customer is in the showroom, you can get to work on 'em, but you have to entice them there in the first place. Can you do that ? Tip - We're interested in cars, not rhetoric. Even Kia will give you a free coffee (I guess, I've never been in) :rolleyes:

I stand by my original comment, you're not a Main Dealer, I guess you're a used-car salesman in a bad mood, or a bored kid. Your attitude, spelling and approach on a subject that has had 12000+ hits have been way short of what Lexus would expect of their staff.

Whoever you are, and whatever your motive, I wish you a relaxing weekend. I'm now off to the pub. :)

This site / thread what ever you want to call it has been made popular by my loyal fan base (utter ****) blasing you pretentious half-wits taking yourselfs far too seriously. Get a life or have a ****!

Which engine is that? That's about the same as a 3 Litre Twin Turbo Bimmer.

I'm pleased that you have gone to the trouble of finding irrelevant ****e. Thank you for doing this and I'll cross it off my list of things to do.

If you drive like a complete fecking arsewipe then you will have problems like with any car you stupid cock. You don't actually own a Lexus (I know this because you would be chased out of the showroom for being a cnut) so stop talking rubbish whilst I climb back on my sister.

How about minding your language? We're more than happy to hear your opinions, I for one find them interesting and entertaining, but sort that attitude out please - there's no need for that.

What do you think Lexus UK would make of that statement? Wouldn't be too hard for them to find out who you are - everything posted on th'internet is traceable after all - or didn't you know that?
