Malta

Lmafudd · October 1

Hi all.
Just been to Malta for a short holiday and whilst I saw lots of Toyota cars I didn't see one Lexus! Maserati, Ferrari, loads of BMW and Range Rovers but not one Lexus. Anyone else noticed this or was it just my bad luck?

Maybe European import restrictions I'm thinking.

Lots of Mercedes taxis?

No, those days have passed. More than half were CHRs!

One thing I’ve noticed since getting mine…..Lexus cars on Cornish roads are very rare….something to do with the nearest dealer being in the next county perhaps? I like the rarity if I’m honest….and since I got mine, it turns heads….something which the 1 year old UX F Sport courtesy car continues to do👍👍 it deffo holds its own in the company of Mercs, BMWs, Audis and Range Rovers😍

I think they're a handsome car even if some feel they aren't a true Lexus for some reason. They definitely drive like one imho. The first thing people remark upon when I give them a lift is the quiet ride!

Well, I hope that’s the case when I get mine back😉😉

A few years ago we did a European road trip in my Lexus GS. In 10 days and 2,500 miles we saw 1 Lexus, an early LS, and that was it!
