LF-S, LF-X Concepts Set for Lexus Booth at 2004 Tokyo Motor Show

October 3, 2004 -- Tokyo, Japan -- TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) plans to exhibit two Lexus concept cars at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show (general public days: Oct. 25 - Nov. 5) in Makuhari, Chiba. Lexus is Toyota's world premium brand.

Toyota established Lexus in North America in 1989 with the brand concept of pursuing perfection in product as well as in sales and service. Lexus then expanded into Europe and other regions, earning high acclaim as a premium brand that delivers high satisfaction in response to user values.

Looking ahead to the August 2005 launch of the Lexus brand in Japan together with a nationwide dealership network, Toyota's two Lexus concept cars to be exhibited at this year's Tokyo Motor Show are realizations of a quest for the essence of luxury in every detail. They seek to provide a peak experience that satisfies the heart with exhilaration and comfort at every moment, while understanding and anticipating each individual user's constantly changing needs. These two cars are the LF-S, a next-generation sedan that expresses the Lexus brand's new conception of luxury, and the LF-X, an SUV-sports sedan crossover.
