A vehicle that is called a lemon is one that has a lingering defect that greatly impairs its safety, value or use. In general circumstances, if the car has been repaired for the same problem within the warranty period without avail, the car is a lemon.
If you find several things you don’t like about your new car, but none of them prevent you from operating it safely, you don’t have a lemon. However, if your brakes won’t stop the car, or it won’t go in reverse, start on cold mornings or hot afternoons, opens doors by itself, and only reaches minimal speeds, you could, in fact, have a lemon. You must give the manufacturer enough of a chance to fix the problem. For most locations, having ten differing problems during the Warranty Period, your car is not considered a lemon. You could lose your consumer rights if you don’t follow proper procedures.
Lexus, also known as Rekusasu or Rekusasu in Japanese, is the luxury vehicle division at Japanese automaker Toyota. Lexus is the most popular premium car brand in Japan and is available in over 90 countries and territories. It is one of the top 10 most valuable Japanese brands by market value. Lexus’ headquarters is located in Nagoya Japan. The United States has two operational centers: Brussels in Belgium and Plano in Texas.
Lexus was created in 1983 from a corporate project to create a premium sedan. It was code-named F1 and culminated with the launch of the Lexus LS, a luxury SUV, in 1989. The division later added sedan and coupe to its lineup, as well as convertible, SUV, and SUV models. Lexus was not a brand until 2005 in Japan. All Lexus vehicles sold internationally from 1989 to 2005 under the Toyota marquee and an equivalent model name were imported into Japan. A hybrid model of the RX crossover was introduced in 2005. Additional hybrid models were added to the lineup later. In 2007, Lexus introduced its F marque performance section with the debut of the ISF sport sedan and the FLA supercar.

Lexus cars are mostly made in Japan. Production is centered in Japan’s Chubu and Kyushu areas, particularly at Toyota’s Tahara and Aichi, Chubu, Chubu, Miyata and Fukuoka plants. The first Lexus manufactured outside of Japan, the Canadian-built RX 330 was assembled in 2003. After a corporate restructuring from 2001 to 2005 Lexus started operating its own design and engineering manufacturing centers.
Lexus has seen a rise in sales outside of its main market, the United States, since the 2000s. In 2005, the division opened dealerships in Japan’s domestic market. This made it the first premium Japanese car marque to launch in the country of its origin. Since then, the brand has debuted in Southeast Asia and Latin America as well as in Europe and other markets.
