Toyota has issued a stop sale on the 2010 Lexus GX 460 after Consumer Reports deemed the SUV a safety risk earlier today and added the 'ute to its Do Not Buy" list.

According to Toyota, the automaker is investigating CR’s claims and using the consumer pub’s testing methodology to determine how the SUV’s emergency handling can be improved. Furthermore, any 2010 GX 460 owner concerned about their vehicle’s safety will be provided a loaner vehicle from Lexus until the automaker can find a solution. Full details in the press release after the jump.

That was a nice drift at least.

and this is worse than under steer? IMO under steer is harder to correct for than over steer.

using the consumer pub’s testing methodology

Sounds like they left the bar after a few drinks and said “Hey, let’s try to drift this thing!”

But seriously it’s an SUV driven by moms and should prob not over steer. I wonder if MPD47 knows anyone with one we can slide around…

it’s funny because Lexus is going to spend a shit ton of money to try to get it not to drift, and guys worldwide will spend even more trying to GET their cars to drift. we need to just trade in all our stock 240s for GX460s
