I somewhat agree OP. Lexus isn't sought after like BMW, Audi and Mercedes but I love Lexus' vehicles. Would definitely recommend Lexus to the pretentious type who wanna' drive luxury.
you're talking about 2K difference in price, that's not enough of a difference to really talk about it as a point. Also, 425 hp vs 467 hp at what RPM? Horsepower also doesn't equal speed. Also, I'm disappointed not everyone continued on with the "K"
I had an old es300 for my first car.. Wasn't the greatest, but it was old so was kinda to be expected at the time.. Plus was my first car and was glad to have something I've driven a c200 Mercedes for the last couple years that's getting up there.. And my mom has one one that is like 3 years old now My girl has a Audi Q5 Audi is easily a better car than Mercedes.. I've driven a couple BMWs a handful of times and easily prefer them over Mercedes too My Lexus was already 7 years old when I got it back in high school.. So cant speak on them now
fixed. Suckers, I mean consumers, have been overpaying for these rebadged Corollas, Camarys, and Avalons for years.
I had one of these. Thinking about getting a 3rd gen for my next car (I prefer its body style over the current one).
The old gen ES sedans are ugly as hell. This new gen though is something else. I always see this pearl white one with matte black wheels
Lexus' are just overpriced Toyota, which lately, hasn't had the best reliability. IMO, Lexus definitely provide good luxury but totally lacks in performance. ///M series > F series
Lexus has the smoothest engines out there, I just haven't experienced that consistently on one brand more than Lexus. Comfort isn't always about the ride quality but also in the engine in how it sounds, how the transmission shifts and now smooth that engine is and Lexus simply does it right. I mean it really isn't a fair comparison but you at least got to give them credit for trying now and for a start with the IS-F and RC-F, not to mention the LFA, they are doing pretty well. Even the GS350 F-Sport has gotten plenty of praise and even beat out the 5-series in other comparos. I'm curious to see how the new GS-F does against the M5 though. Performance-wise though, I like this review of the RC-F via AutoBlog, it just makes sense and looking at it that way, Lexus may have made the right decisions.
