Which country does the Lexus car belong to?

Lexus is a brand under Japan's Toyota, and Lexus is the same as the Chinese name 'Lingzhi'. Lexus is Toyota's high-end luxury brand, originally targeting the North American market, but later entered the domestic market as well. Lexus offers a variety of SUVs and sedans. There are many models under Lexus that are popular among car enthusiasts, such as the IS, LX, and IS. The LX is a large-displacement SUV, equipped with a 5.7-liter V8 naturally aspirated engine, featuring dual VVT-i technology and multi-point fuel injection, with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
This is quite a representative question. As Toyota's premium brand, Lexus (formerly known as Lingzhi) is indeed a genuine Japanese car, but interestingly, its positioning is very special. In the 1980s, Toyota concentrated its resources to create Lexus in order to compete with international luxury cars. It was born in Japan, but its entire R&D philosophy was completely aimed at the North American market, with the first-generation LS model being the best proof. Although its factories are now spread worldwide (with RX models also being produced in North American plants), its core technology and quality control still inherit the meticulous craftsmanship spirit of Japanese engineering.
