2013 Lexus RX350

You’ve heard that women are from  Venus and men are from Mars.  Well the same analogy goes for the 2012 Lexus RX350 and the 2013 Lexus RX350. 

Our 2012 model is from Venus.  Although I have no real data to support this statement, I think it’s safe to say that the Lexus RX appeals to females more than males (this assumption derives from our extensive internal list of female RX owners).  The shape, handling and luxury that it offers gives women the power to own a crossover vehicle without compromising their zest for class, femininity and style.   Read more...

As promised, I finally caught up with Melissa Chase from 103.7 the River to get her review on the all-new 2013 Lexus GS350 and here’s what she had to say.

I challenge you to come by Lexus of Richmond today to experience this magnificent vehicle and others in its class! 

P. S.  Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!  Our showroom will be opened on Monday!  I hope to see you.

Have you ever been in an atmosphere filled with people sitting and waiting with eager expectation for a winner of an award to be announced?  Have you ever heard the expression “you could hear a pin drop”? 

On yesterday I experienced both!  During a breakfast banquet at Ruth’s Chris, the winner of the 17th Annual Lexus of Richmond Pursuit of Perfection Leadership Award was announced.  When I tell you “I could hear a pin drop” that’s no exaggeration.  Read more...

Remember the day when we relied heavily on facimiles, copy machines, carbon paper, postage stamps, typewriters, newspapers and paper maps!  I think back to those time, and I shake my head!  Unbelievable.  We were the modern day Flintstones living in the stone age in comparison to the conveniences of today.

Now with iPhone, iPads, emails, text messaging, PC’s, digital advertising and navigation (GPS) systems, I cringe at the thought of having to change a ribbon in a typewriter!  Seriously?  Not even!  The only use I would have for a typewriter would be as a decorative piece used for starting “remember when” conversations, along with the house phone.   Read more...

I just saw radio personality Melissa Chase cruising around central #RVA in the All-New 2013 Lexus GS350! 

I made every attempt to catch up to her to see how she was enjoying the vehicle, but my car could not handle the challenge!  I’ll just send her an email instead…LOL.  In the meantime, I understand she’s doing radio spots on 103.7 The River, so tune in with me and let’s get her take on the vehicle while listening to some cool sounds.  Read more...

17^th Annual Pursuit of Perfection Leadership Award $10,000 Scholarship

We’re getting down to the moment of truth!  In the next couple of weeks, Lexus of Richmond will be recognizing one outstanding High School Senior Scholar-Athlete to be the recipient of a $10,000 scholarship during an ellaborate banquet at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse!

For the past 17-years, Lexus of Richmond’s President, started what’s now our flagship charity, the PURSUIT of PERFECTION LEADERSHIP AWARD.  Each year $10,000 is awarded to a much deserved local #RVA student.  These nominees excel in not only the classroom and on the field, but in their community(ies) as well.  Read more...

2013 Lexus RX350

It’s finally here!

Calls have been coming in!

Email inquiries have been sent!

Customers have visited our elite showroom!

We’ve experienced numerous drive-bys! 

Why all the buzz you asked?  Everyone has been waiting for the debut of the All-New 2013 LEXUS RX350, and we have it here at Lexus of Richmond!

I absolutely adore what Lexus did with the new spindle grill!  This bold change has taken the RX350 from smooth, cute and family-friendly to “sporty“, “powerful” and “intuitive“!  I’m confident in saying this new design is really going to cater not only to women (as it has in the past), but to men as well!   Read more...

When you think of babies, do you think Lexus of Richmond?  Well you should, and here’s why!

The staff and management of Lexus of Richmond had an awesome time supporting this year’s MARCH of DIMES  – MARCH for BABIES! 

This year marked the third consecutive year that we’ve supported March of Dimes - March for Babies. Each year has afforded us an opportunity to come up with creative ideas to raise money and ensure we do our part in aiding in the birth of healthy babies and combat against infant mortality.  We’re equally passionate, because of the “premature” births we’ve encountered within our own Lexus of Richmond family.  Had it not been for the research and mission of the March of Dimes, our babies would not have had the wonderful outcomes they did, and we’re so grateful.  Read more...

Lexus of Richmond has received the 2011 ELITE of LEXUS recognition and we could not have accomplished this without the help, dedication and loyalty of our customers!
