The announcement by Toyota Motor Corporation in May, 2000, that TMMC had been chosen to be the first plant outside Japan to build a Lexus was another proud milestone for TMMC. The announcement initiated a CAD $650 million project to expand the existing weld and plastics shops, and to add an additional paint shop in preparation for Lexus production which began on September 26, 2003.
Nuts & Bolts
A tiny sliver of steel has been eliminated from the head of every bolt on every Lexus to reduce overall weight by nine kilograms. It's just one of thousands of meticulous details and improvements implemented during the passionate pursuit of perfection. For Lexus, there is no compromise.
Exceptional Safety
Lexus computer simulations and crash tests incorporate both current and anticipated standards for North America, Japan and Europe. As a result, Lexus boasts one of the strictest test criteria standards in the industry -- Global Outstanding Assessment (GOA).
The Finishing Touch
The trademark luminous finish of a Lexus is the result of a painstaking painting process and expert craftsmanship. As many as 42 separate and carefully executed steps are taken to achieve the perfect fade resistant lustre.
