Lexus is well-known as a world-class manufacturer of luxury vehicles, but not many are aware that Toyota is actually the owner of the Lexus brand. Obviously, the two brands have their own distinct style and offer different features and amenities, with Lexus being the premier luxury marque. Still, both have their headquarters in Japan — Toyota in the city of Toyota and Lexus in Nagoya. While it should come as no surprise that Japanese drivers make up the largest segment of Lexus customers, you’ll find these luxury cars and SUVs being driven in over 70 different countries and territories. There are also Lexus operational centers scattered throughout the world from Belgium to Texas.
