Can Lexus bring luxury to compact cars?
I've been saying this for a while now...I want a car that is nice, efficient and comfortable. To get a small car shouldn't be the same thing as getting a cheap car. The advent of the Mini and the Smart car (not to mention some very nice compacts out there) I think car companies are getting the idea. But, of course, the next step is to thrust the compact car into full luxury mode.
That's what Lexus is looking to do. Lexus is teasing us with a little drawing of a car that they'll unveil at the Frankfurt Auto Show that would "raise the bar in the premium compact segment." Frankly, that wouldn't be too hard to do.
From my perspective, I'm just really hoping they do it with efficiency in mind. Not that I could afford it. Also, as a commenter at AutoBlogGreen points out..this design is direct proof that Battlestar Galactica is having a tremendous influence on car designers, which can't be a bad thing.
