For those of us who, for whatever reason, choose not to drive the most up to date Lexus model but instead rely on the well established reliability and longevity of older models it is a shame that better corrosion protection is not given a higher priority for new Lexus vehicles sold in the UK. The effect of winter road salt can be readily seen even on vehicles only 2 or 3 years old and can sound the death knell for older otherwise reliable vehicles with, for example, excessively corroded subframes.
Obviously no manufacturer wants it’s vehicles to last indefinitely, but there must be a happy medium to be achieved somewhere.
