Lexus getting into luxury boat building

Post by AsLan7 »

.
Due to its declining auto sales, Lexus is making an attempt at entering the luxury boat market.

Kinda looks like a shoe—maybe even a croc? 8-)

I sent that to my son the other day as he works for them. They want to compete with the other high end car companies in the boat business.

I’m sorry but if I was to spend that kind of money on a boat it would be an MTI. But I might be a homer because they are made 5 minutes away from me 😃

Nice center console. It's actually pretty muggly. Rides nice though.

Interesting move by Lexus considering the Toyota Epic ski boat foray from '98 to '01:
