Although you also need to consider that Lexus was a brand initially designed exclusively to appeal to the US market. It took over 15 years for them to launch Lexus in Japan.

Lexus is not a Japanese word.
Like how tsunami is never tsunamis. Or sushi is never sushis. One might argue that "eating sushi" implies multiples by the nature of sushi. Yet McDonalds sells French Fries not French Fry. Likewise we eat Potato Chips not Potato Chip. Thus in other words beyond Lexus the english language adopts the Japanese style.
