Lexuses? Lexus’ ? Surely not Lexi. 😉 I’ve noticed, through casual observation, that the company cleverly avoids using the plural in ads and commercials by using phrases such as “Lexus vehicles”. Saying Lexuses aloud does sound awkward, so I can see why. If you had two of the above mentioned vehicles and wanted to mention both in one statement, how would you do so? Not that I have that problem. Traded them in on Audis. 🆒 Peace, mangeorge (Big BS’r) ---

well, here’s a semi-educated answer. In Latin, nouns ending in -us either have their plural as -i, or as -us (the same as the singular). My guess would be that the plural of Lexus would just be Lexus. ---
