MadDog70 2nd Gear July 18, 2012 Author Share July 18, 2012 If you compare Toyota Mark X and Lexus IS250, they use the same 2.5L engine, Mark X can achieve 13km/L while the latter only 11.1km/L, doesn't match lei. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Mark X is lighter.?Lexus usually got alot of option equipment,so much heavier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 Could due to bigger engine? Cause i think the smallest engine from lexus should be 2.5L and higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenmical Clutched July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 If drive Lexus hack FC. It applies to all Luxury cars. Think twice if FC is a priority when purchasing car. There are many reasons why a Mark X cost much lesser than the IS250. Go figure out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark X the name afterall still is toyota, whereas IS250 is lexus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meanmachine 6th Gear July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 Not true, I used to own Mark X in 06 and Lux !S 250 in 07, both produces reasonable fc, avg 9.6 in IS 250 and approx 9.8-10 depends on how one drives. Both are fantastic cars to drive, being MX the spacious of the two, But in terms of drive performance both are equally ahead of others, IS gives an edge interms of stability & cutting edge plus resale value, not forgetting unsurpassed service attitude. Mark X was P.I, so you don't expect any 1st class service, slightly cheaper but that was that . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then stick the Lexus brand onto the Mark X and try your luck to sell it at Lexus price? On brand, both are registered as Toyota in SG FYI. There are things you get on Lexus where you don't get on Mark X. These things are what cost the extra. And yes the BM Lexus lounge too which I hate. I think let's forget about this comparison. A Mark X is not a IS250 either way. Just like an Acura is not Honda or Infiniti not Nissan although they are based on similar platforms. The maker will put in extras to ensure you pay for what you get. Otherwise just exchange badge and try to sell it off to unsuspecting customers.

U missed out quite alot in comparison to convince those who believe both car can swap badges and appear in each other showroom. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day get a 1.6 Jap, Korean or China car if FC is a concern. Even a 1.6L C180 drinks more than any other 1.6L. It is like buy BMW but complain servicing expensive and want to buy own engine oil for servicing. Throw face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog70 2nd Gear July 19, 2012 Author Share July 19, 2012 Erm, guys, I'm just curious why the same company make 2 different badge with same engine but different FC only, nothing to do with luxury or not, rich or poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
