They're in your home, in your phone and they've been in your car for several years now--we're talking about computers. High-tech on-board infotainment systems are certainly useful, but not always easy to fathom. That's why Lexus is letting customers try before they buy--by releasing the Enform Emulator iPad app. Lexus Enform is a suite of connected services available in select 2013 and newer Lexus models, controlled using the vehicles' infotainment displays. There are a lot of features on offer and plenty of menus to navigate through in the real thing, but Enform Emulator lets you get used to...

2013 Lexus ES 350 And ES 300h Debut At 2012 New York Auto ShowThe 2013 Lexus GS was a huge step in the right direction for the brand's style and image, scrubbing away what had become a rather boring look and replacing it with dramatic, edgy lines.

When Lexus unveiled its LF-LC concept at this year’s Detroit Auto Show, it was clear about one thing: the car was a design concept, so it wouldn’t be heading to a Lexus showroom any time soon. In fact, Lexus didn’t even provide details about the car’s drivetrain, saying only that its Advanced Lexus Hybrid Drive would deliver “a rewarding driving experience that is also kinder to the environment.” How big the reward was, or how kind the LF-LC would be to the environment wasn’t specified, because Lexus wasn’t going to build the car. But then the...
