[{"role": "system", "content": "Lexus originated from a corporate project to develop a new premium sedan, code-named F1, which began in 1983 and culminated in the launch of the Lexus LS in 1989. Subsequently, the division added sedan, coup\u00e9, convertible and SUV models. Lexus did not exist as a brand in its home market until 2005, and all vehicles marketed internationally as Lexus from 1989 to 2005 were released in Japan under the Toyota marque and an equivalent model name. In 2005, a hybrid version of the RX crossover debuted and additional hybrid models later joined the division's lineup. Lexus launched its own F marque performance division in 2007 with the debut of the IS F sport sedan, followed by the LFA supercar in 2009. Lexus vehicles are largely produced in Japan, with manufacturing centered in the Ch\u016bbu and Ky\u016bsh\u016b regions, and in particular at Toyota's Tahara, Aichi, Ch\u016bbu and Miyata, Fukuoka, Ky\u016bsh\u016b plants. Assembly of the first Lexus built outside the country, the Ontario, Canada-produced RX 330, began in 2003. Following a corporate reorganization from 2001 to 2005, Lexus began operation of its own design, engineering and manufacturing centers. Since the 2000s, Lexus has increased sales outside its largest market, the United States.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I would love to buy a Lexus one day! I think they're such nice cars.

When did Lexus start producing cars?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Lexus originated in 1983, as a corporate project to produce a new premium sedan.

They're considered a luxury car, aren't they?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yep!  They are supposed to have better quality equipment, better performance, and higher brand status."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I'd love to test drive one, I'll bet it's a smooth ride! I'm not sure I could afford the payments though! Ha! "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "They are definitely tough for most people to afford!  Interestingly, following a corporate reorganization in 2005, Lexus started operating it's own design and manufactorers.  That could contribute to the higher cost as well"}]
