    Yeh if they find a decent diesel to fit to em. Lexus are great cruisers why have this companies ridiculous marketing team not demanded a 3.0d with 280bhp for Europe.
    Perfect for m-way travel and cross continent comfort.

    Blasphemy. Petrol only, 3L minimum.

    No diesel. 2.5 + 3.5 petrols from memory, a v8 and a hybrid. Presumably the lack of an oil burner is due to the market being mainly american (in fact some speculate that the european launch of the last gs was a last minute decision and was never originally planned for europe). would make sense to do it though - toyota already have a 3L diesel in the lineup and infiniti have launched a diesel competitor in europe with the new M 30 d

    Diesel has become the fuel of the executive car all Euro sales figures prove this.
    MB is introducing an S250cdi (an abomination to be honest). A 350 is a minimum in a luxury car.
    I own a very large diesel 7 series and it is perfect for driving huge miles without stopping in silence with oodles of power.
    Lexus need to get a diesel into their luxury cars to conquer the European market - their customer service is supposedly excellent I can see real growth here!
