Lexus is now expanding it’s markets and it’s being sold in Europe, China and Japan, too, excepting from the past, when it was only sold in U.S. and Canada. Now it will compete with other well known and respected brands like Audi, Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes-Benz.

It seems that it made a good deal, by expanding it’s market in Japan, because the Japanese are obsessed by prestige brands. Now Toyota wants Lexus to be appreciated in Japan as other brands, like Versace, Prada, Kate Spade or Marc Jacobs are and will release a new LS ( L-Finesse ) model, the Lexus LF-Sh concept. Currently, The LF-Sh is only a concept, but it is most probably that it will get into production starting 2007. It’s engine is also a V8 hybrid, but yet we don’t know much about it.

The Geneva 2002 presented car, ItalDesign Brera concept coupe was a very big hit, even the new Alfa Romeo 159 has it’s styling. Robert Cumberford, Automobile Magazine’s design editor says the Brera is pirated from the Zagato study, made earlier, but Ital is taking the credit for it. Alfa Romeo’s new coupe platform was going to be shared with Saab, originaly, but the joint venture didn’t work. The car is 173.8 inch long and has 3 engine options: a 3.2 liter V6 which produces 260 hp, the most powerful, a 2.4 liter direct injection turbodiesel, 200 hp and a 185 hp, 2.2 liter with direct injection.
