QuoteBMWdave, it was pretty clear what he meant. I have used Lexi myself numerous times simply becauses "Lexuses" neither looks nor sounds quite right.
No car name takes anything more than the standard plural form. You don't have two Toyota Matrices or Camries, or a Hertz lot full of Ford Tauri.
i say Lexi, doesn't mean it's right or wrong. It's just personal taste i guess. Dave got what i was saying, so lets drop this matter.

So Lexus in plural aside, I think they are planning on moving the Toyota's which we call Lex(us's/i) here to the Lexus brand there as well. That's just a guess though.

People typically call multiple Focuses Foci. But, it just really doesn't matter.

A lot of people say "Jag-wire" as well, but does that make it right?

"Jag wahr" and "Jag yew ar" are both acceptable, though don't tell David E. Davis I said that.
