What would happen if the Toyota GR Corolla became a Lexus? Surprisingly, this actually happened with the introduction of the Lexus LBX Morizo RR edition in Tokyo. This is essentially a Toyota GR Corolla (sharing powertrain with GR Yaris) with a different body and interior. It is indeed a Lexus GR Corolla!

Let's find out what David discussed with the Chief Engineer Mr. Endo of Lexus LBX in Japan.
