Lexus belongs to the Japanese car category. Here is more information about Lexus: 1. Lexus is a luxury car brand under Toyota Motor Corporation. The cars produced by this brand exhibit a sense of luxury in both exterior and interior design. The vehicles launched by Lexus have performed exceptionally well in the Chinese automotive market due to their outstanding comfort, making them ideal for family use. 2. Lexus vehicles are introduced into the Chinese automotive market through imports. The reason for not localizing production is that domestically produced models may not necessarily be cheaper than imported ones, given the brand's high positioning. 3. Lexus shares design processes and vehicle project processes with Toyota. Although it is a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation, this car company holds a significant position within the Toyota family. Due to its focus on luxury vehicles, it adheres to very strict control standards in the production process. 4. This brand places a strong emphasis on the luxury and comfort of its cars, which is why it rarely uses turbocharged engines and prefers naturally aspirated engines.

Lexus is definitely a Japanese car. From what I know about automotive history, this brand was established by Toyota in 1989, specializing in luxury models with an overall style leaning towards Japanese craftsmanship and reliability. Unlike German cars like BMW which emphasize handling performance, Lexus focuses more on comfort and quietness, offering an exceptionally smooth driving experience. For example, their LS series is quite popular in Asian and North American markets. When buying a car, I consider these details because Japanese cars generally have fewer issues and lower maintenance costs, making them super friendly for new car owners. Expanding on this, the Japanese automotive industry is particularly skilled in hybrid technology, as seen in Lexus's hybrid models which are both eco-friendly and fuel-efficient, making them a great fit for modern urban life. If the budget allows, they're definitely worth a try.

Why is the steering wheel not straight when the car is moving straight?

The steering wheel is not straight when the car is moving straight due to the following reasons: 1. Abnormal or uneven tire wear, causing the tire contact surface to tilt, resulting in misalignment or deviation; 2. Uneven tire pressure, causing the car to pull toward the side with lower pressure, leading to directional offset when moving straight; 3. Incorrect four-wheel alignment data, which can also cause the steering wheel to be misaligned during driving; 4. One-sided brake drag on the steering wheel, increasing resistance on one side, requiring directional adjustment to maintain normal driving, leading to misalignment; 5. Deformation of the vehicle's sway bar; 6. Damaged shock absorbers; 7. Steering gear malfunction.
