Sorry about that John i cant suggest anything.

Link worked for me.  Note that Kia are right up there.  It will be interesting to see how their new Genesis models do in the UK when expected to be launched soon.  They will be in a similar position to what Lexus were when they started, trying to raise their image to that of premium marques.  Their models will not only have to be very good but competitively priced to succeed against the best in Europe. I understand that the Genesis cars will not be sold and serviced by normal Hyundai/Kia dealers but a small number of select dealers so this will be another hurdle.

Genesis is under the Hyundai banner I think Barry ?

Genesis will be to Hyundai what Lexus is to Toyota or come to that what Infiniti is or perhaps has been to Nissan as I understand Infiniti are pulling out of the UK.  It shows what a mammoth task a newish venture is faced with.  Maybe Tesla are the exception as they broke new ground, set up their own charging etc and have concentrated in a more narrow market with advanced technology.

Weird. Lexus 8.8   Toyota 9.0. So what award as I couldn't be bothered to read all the article.

[Mr Vlad]

Oh on an awards thing. There's a kind of association of women car journalists who are well respected. They voted the Lexus LC500 cabriolet Best Luxury Car. 

(Can't think of another word for the roof chopped LC500)

Cabriolet is spot on Vlad.

Women Car Journalists in my opinion have regard only to Colour, Positioning of Vanity Mirror and Number of convenient Handbag Hooks.😉

Lexus call it the LC500 Convertible.

@royoftherovers The woke police will be along in a moment. 🙂

Roger;  Message received and understood Malcolm.  10-4

I suspect that Toyota got a (slightly) higher rating than Lexus because Toyota drivers have lower expectations... 😄
