(UPDATED) Toyota Is Under Scrutiny Again; This Time Its Their Luxury Brand

Toyota just can't get a break. After thoroughly conducting two independent tests on the 2010 redesigned LX GX 460, Consumer Reports, a consumer advocacy organization, is warning that the luxury SUV could possibly spin out of control and flip over in case of severe driving conditions. As you know, since most SUVs are top-heavy, unlike a car, the driver has to adjust their driving patterns, when rounding curves at a high rate of speed or making quick stops - since these vehicles are more prone to flip.

To view Consumer Reports explanation, click here. Ironically, the the 2010 Toyota 4Runner was redesigned this model year, too, which is also based off the same platform as the Lexus. We're wondering why this vehicle hasn't been placed in the spotlight.

Earlier this year, we reviewed the redesigned Lexus GX 460, check out our review.  So far here's the response from Lexus headquarters, regarding the results from Consumer Reports. We expect the officials from Toyota will have more to say about this potential safety risk. The question we need to ask: Is how often will we have to push the vehicle to the limits to potentially cause the vehicle to spin out of control? Or is this same as asking: Will the airbags be available to inflate in your personal vehicle just in case its needed in the event of an emergency?

UPDATE: Lexus Agrees to voluntarily recall the 2010 Lexus GX460.
