Generally when people buy a car, they are out there looking for a vehicle to get them from A to B. However, quite a few of us want it to get them there fast, safe, comfortably and of course style. Some of us also want it to break people's necks when we drive past. Call the ambulance! Lexus, the big brother of Toyota, the luxury brand.
