(November 3, 2023) Back in 2022 Toyota took one of its best known and popular vehicles, the Corolla and extended the brand by adding a SUV version to its product offering that slotted between the smaller and now discontinued C-HR and the larger, best-selling RAV4.

But along the way Lexus began to beautify their ugly ducklings by introducing beauties like the LC 500, IS 500 and most recently its compact NX crossover driven here.
