Detroit 2015: New Lexus F Model Teased

by Cameron Aubernon

Published: December 18th, 2014

More teasers from Toyota, this time from its luxury brand, Lexus, which is bringing over a new F model to the party at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.

The new vehicle, the second in the F high-performance series after the RC F, will roll into the spotlight January 13 at 8:40 a.m. Eastern. More details will likely be revealed closer to showtime, as is sometimes the case with these teasers.

I guess I'm the only one who likes Acura and Lexus styling cues! The front bumper is a bit gaudy though, the wire mesh looks like something out of The Home Depot gardening aisle. Everyone is using turbochargers, including Lexus, for me the appeal would be a good performer NA V8.

It slices, it dices, and when it's run through a full-contact car wash (shudder), it'll trim off the tips of those gravel-encrusted "soft-touch materials" so that the car behind will be scratched much less (Thanks, Lexus-Guy!)

Wjtinfwb We too have a Subaru, a '16 Crosstrek. Aside from it's appetite for batteries (or crappy Subaru batteries), so far it's been a reliable ride, but from day one I've always thought it felt flimsy. I'm sure we'll get good service out of it and have no plans to replace it, but won't be surprised if it starts nickel and diming up as all those plastics and the electronics start to age.
Bd2 Excellent article, very nice car. Thank you Murilee.
Make_light I like Subarus, and I often think they don't get enough credit for how they drive. Lots of people say it's the faux-rugged image that accounts for their popularity, but they also drive with a solidity and plantedness that's absent from a lot of the Japanese competition. That being said, this thing is ugly. I never felt that Subarus were as ugly as commenters claim they are. Boring, sure, but not necessarily ugly. But between this and the refreshed Legacy, it's like they're trying to make their vehicles look as incohesive and awkward as possible.
SCE to AUX I think the 2.2 was a pretty durable engine.
Rochester We'll probably be trading in our 2018 Touring Edition Forester for the next model, and are waiting to see what the Hybrid is all about. Would be nice if they disclose whether or not it will be a plug-in Hybrid.
