Bullshit video, I don't like Lexus but blaming them for unsave handling in a corner with a speed that would make an American SUV roll over is noncence

[secwind]

Toyota finally made a suv that isn't boring and they call it a safety hazard? I vote keep the current set up and let Darwinism take care the morons that can't drive.

Stop blaming Consumer Reports, guys! They're just doing their job.

lol

And whatever happened to the saying "ESP or corrective driver aids, no matter how advanced, is no replacement for driver attentiveness or common sense?"

[rangerover06sc]

@HyperTeHK2 What is non-sense is the amount of ignorance it would take for somebody say that. Consumers reports does this test in all SUVs, even the American ones, and none of them had done this badly in the test. The problem is the stabilty control system isn't working as it should. Its kinda like having a saftey net that colaspes as you lean against, causing you to get tangled and break your neck. Although you might not break your neck, the safety net defies its purpose as does the ESP here.

maaaan fuck lexus, the GX ist just a poor copy from the mercedes GL-class made by toyota-....

The idiots who work for CR who deemed this vehicle unsafe for operation should be forced to resign from their positions immediately. This is just another plan devised by Americans to attempt to rid the country of Imports because they are killing domestic sales, because they are better cars perhaps? Obviously if you push a top heavy SUV in such a manner (I don't know who would) the tail is going to break away. But try telling that to sue happy Americans.

I don't know if americans are really so dumb to believe that this car is doing bad. It is like blame the glass of water that it splashes water around when dropped off the table.

[babymegatron]

dude... there is no such thing as stability control stopping a car that's going sideways. Not even Ferraris can't just swing 90degrees with that speed then all a sudden recover to straight. I guess every SUV they tested like that would fail their test, accept the European ones since most magazine testers are fanboys and believe they set the trend for "cool"? Media man, that's whats so screwy about America. Always lying to the stupids.

[WoZIMoo]

Hahaha.. So they loosen up the stability control to provide more feel and you go around telling people not to buy this?? Jesus Christ, do the same test in a Ford Explorer and find yourself doing 6 goddamn flips.

[gmax876]

I want to see if they tested any other SUVs exactly like this..
