What is the plural of Lexus?

I suspect it is a made up word so may not conform to opus opii rules.

I have seen that there are not many LS in Europe but are the smaller models more common over the channel?

It's Lexuses :)

Lexus is a name, and therefore a proper noun.

I don't really know about other european countries but I do know in Holland it's no fun driving a Ls400. The insurance premium of a car that old is based on it's weight and so is the road tax. The road tax for an LS in Holland would be around 270 Euro per 3 months. which is a whopping £241 per 3 months.

The names of companies and other organizations are usually regarded as singular, regardless of their ending: "General Motors has announced its fall lineup of new vehicles." Try to avoid the inconsistency that is almost inevitable when you think of corporate entities as a group of individuals: "General Motors has announced their fall lineup of new vehicles."...

from plural noun forms

... so its just Lexus ! lol

Being based in Vienna at the moment, I can confirm that Lexuses, Lexi, Lexus are a very, very rare sight indeed.

That quote is about something else?

But for proper noun, add an s. Because it ends in an s you add es. So it's Lexuses :)

I read somewhere that the Lexus name was coined from (luxury export united states) is that so?.

Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman once went into print to state that the plural of Lotus was Lotus.

Just thought this might add credence to the notion that the plural of our beloved swishmobiles is 'Lexus'.

my bad, i didnt quote the first bit of that paragraph which explained it a bit "The names of companies and other organizations are usually regarded as singular, regardless of their ending: " so General Motors being another company name with an s on the end.

I think that was made up as it sort of fit, don't think that was actually true though.

No what I meant is that that is talking about something else entirely - it's saying that a collective like a company is treated as a single entity so in reference to something like General Motors you would use "it" instead of "their".

However this is about saying what if you had 2 lexuses........is it I have 2 Lexus or I have 2 Lexuses - I personally think it's the latter going on grammar rules but it's open to interpretation I guess :)

Well I'm glad we sorted that out, but what about a group noun?

A phalanx of Lexus? A cruise of Lexus?
