You didn’t mention that the Japanese have a mindset that focuses on excellence, quality and durability, out of respect for the customer, and nature. Unlike Americans, who promote a throw away culture.
True. They have a high sense of honor for the work well done. Not saying that US workers are worse. Its different culture.
America is slowly growing out of the throw-it-away, workers-versus-bosses culture.
Phillip Evans And that is exactly what Scotty Kilmer points out in one video , the difference between the Japanese and the American culture .
Phillip Evans 100% agreed
You mean short term profit country vs long term profit country. THe fact in USA you build something that cost 25 cents to make and charge 10$ for it. Are car that cost 15k to build charge 120k$
I drove GMs, I drove Chryslers, I drove Nissans. I now drive a Lexus, and will never drive anything else ever again!
genebigs I went from a Mini Cooper S to a Range Rover Evoque, then to a Lexus ES and I literally cried, I never thought a car would go over a year without any issues whatsoever, I have 195,000 miles on my Lexus and I aint letting go of it anytime soon.
you must be old
Same here. The maintenance hamster wheel was so tiring and stressful.
Japanese can't tolerate bad quality
Lexus ..the darling of the automotive industry
Nissan, Mitsubishi and Mazda will disagree with you....Well, One is now owned by the French, the other is assembled in Mexico, and idk what's wrong with Mitsubishi but they are crap.
@@sharpemang Mitsubishi is now part of the Renault Nissan Group
@@christophernicolasviertel8967 so they are now shit. Now Mazda should join and call it unreliability alliance
sharpemang Nissan used to make a hell of a car back when they used the Datsun platforms. I’ve got an old ‘99 Pathfinder. Never had a single issue with it. Ever. Not one. Then they were absorbed by Renault in ‘01 and became the French shitboxes we now know as modern Nissan. So they’re really not Japanese cars anymore lol.
@@joshualaw375 Yeah I used to have a 1997 Maxima and that thing ran like a clock. I really hope with Carlos gone that they'll take their company back.
Maybe bmw need stop using so much plastic parts
true
Just use the same fuel/water pumps, gaskets, water hoses,thermostats etc as Lexus
Yes I agree to many plastic parts
I own a BMW and I'm not happy
The plastic parts that BMW uses has nothing to do with their unreliability; it is more the electrical components that fail because of low quality although they are paying lots for them, and obviously the QC Tests are not rigorous enough. If you look at how times their components failed in the Supra development you'll understand how poor BMW standards are. This is not exclusive to BMW, it seems to be a German thing as M Benz and Audi have similar issues. However, you cannot fault the German Manufacturers on visuals, they make rather beautiful vehicles, something Toyota would do well in following. Plus the Germans have the right combination of Turbo and 4WD which makes the vehicles fun to drive. Toyota does that too, but only for their domestic market and gives the rest of the World the "Bread and Butter " products which tend to border on boring.
183 dislikes from Maserati Ghibli buyers who regret not having bought a Lexus LC instead.
Rajkiran Natarajan Lmao, that really makes me laugh.
When it comes to value for the money Lexus will always rank above bmw, these vehicles will get to 100k miles and still has all its original parts functioning, bmw will piss the bed at any given moment.
I so wish it weren't true, but here we are living in the real world.
Apex Animal bmw vehicles are definitely for people that are enthusiasts, I wrench my own bmw and I wrench my Lexus as well, and this is why am speaking the truth that bmw could be better, because they have a better engine, but the plastic is used to keep us spending, which is why I’ve been seeking out better quality aftermarket parts, anyone that comes up with the idea of selling better materials for bmw parts will be super rich, am talking about better thermostat, better hoses cables, and a metal water pump, parts that would Give them longer intervals between service, these vehicles are not holding up well in wintry climate.
Apex Animal 😲wow man this is exactly the nightmare that happens when they get up in age, the whole damn vehicle starts falling apart, leaving the best running engine, and this is why it’s best not to go back ordering dealership parts because they are poor quality, seek out the better aftermarket parts, there’s a wide variety to choose from, this exactly why Lexus comes out on top with better value, because after 10 years these vehicles remain solid, they are Teflon through wintry climate, bmw the only thing good is the engine.
YungGBone124127134 that’s the problem! Bmw has some of the best looking vehicles👌 they are very well designed eye candy’s but it’s whole structural development is designed to reap your pocketbook, if Lexus had bmw designers, everybody would be driving a Lexus, I personally don’t like the lexus design, the front grill is just🤮 too ugly to live with, their suv lineup is pure ugliness, bmw and Range Rover has far better looking vehicles, but they suck with reliability.
@@mcgyverb1664 no doubt there will always be those who would spend a huge amount of money to satisfy their whims just because they have the money to do so. This video is all about why BMW is not qualified to be known by reliability. It's all about Lexus. I too had own BMW long before even Toyota was considered a reliable brand. History wise the Germans have been making cars much longer than Toyota has. How is it not possible for the Germans to create a brand known for reliability? It's the culture of self-discipline, perseverence and honour driven in each and every individual.
One of the things I've noticed is that Toyota/Lexus is usually late to the game when it comes to technological advances, such as wireless charging for phones, safety features etc. But it's because Toyota/Lexus monitor just how these effect consumers and what potential issues they may cause. After seeing them in action, a year or two later they incorporate them in their products after having smoothed out the kinks they notice that come with them.
My Grandpa's previous gen LX was the first vehicle I have ever seen with blind spot detectors and front and rear collision detection. My 06 is350 has ventilated seats.. They're pretty on par or ahead of the game with alot of features. Nevermind my 350 is luxurious while still being a great sleeper as I've hit 0-60 in 4.7 seconds stock.
And yet 2019, they’re the only ones to my knowledge in quality cars that have dash cams
When it comes to safety they are generally first, for Infotainment and tech(cabin color changing, who needs this!?), they are dead last. I don’t even think their flagship 2019 have CarPlay or Androidauto.
Yess agree, a tech that way ahead of its time actually are prone to failure
They didn't used to be late to the game. They had touch screens in the 2000's. The is350 when it first came out had almost as much power as the outgoing m3. The isf that followed shortly after had similar power to the new v8 m3. Toyota popularized hybrids(insight was first, prius was the sales leader). They used to make more power and get better gas mileage, and be faster to 60. Then something happened in 2010 or so, and they just stopped pushing the envelope. Now they are late to everything. Heck even if you pay for the luxury trim in the rx450h, you don't get massage seats. They just got android audo/carplay. At least they are still better put together than the american cars, and don't start throwing fits like the german ones.
Scotty will approve this vid hahaha
Was looking for this. Scotty is the man!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No Scotty is not the man who hates on my two favorite car brand INFINITI and Fiat. My two moray reliable cars
Rev up your engines!
Scotty is the old grumpy man.
The fact that lexus put EVERY Engine on a test bench is really impresive wow just incredible
Lexus is really the ak47 of the car world.
lexus is the best!
Not sure how that relates, but OK, Phu.
@@csn6234 Theres a reason why AKs from the 80s are still being used by the Russians, African militia groups, Muslim militias, cartels, and gangs across the world. They. Do. Not. Break

Another secret is a lot of Lexus engines are built in Japan rather than here in the US
I think it doesn't matter, also US workers don't want to loose their jobs, the will practice the same techniques.
USA workers have no pride.
Jasper, no doubt. Toyota has no reason to invest in US plants to build their luxury brand because lets face it, luxury vehicles don't sell to the masses and dealerships make next to nothing selling new vehicles. As long as import/export costs stay stable, it's a win win for every auto country and the consumer carries on.
General global industry approach -Good manufacturing: build parts to within a very small margin of original design specs, with slight deviation between parts - this is why the same manufacturers part may not fit quite the same. Also explains why within the same model car some are great while some are lemons.
Lexus/Toyota approach (and other reputable made in Japan manufacturers)
Great manufacturing: also builds parts to within a very small margin of original design specs, BUT in addition keeps a near identical consistency between parts - meaning two things.
1. All assembled engines are within spec and almost identical in consistency, so lemons within a model line are rare.
2. When you replace a part it fits exactly and interacts with the rest of the original components in the same consistency as the original part.
Totally agree! Japanese built toyotas last soooo much longer.
Lexus been no.1 for almost 9 Years straight reliable car company in the world 🙌
A lot has to with the unlimited funding they get from Toyota. And the mechanics they hire, have to had worked for Toyota for over 10 years with no mistakes. Lexus has some huge standards. And it shows with their cars.
@R A okay since I am a fan boy. Let me list the Lexus I own. My first Lexus was a 96 GS300 then I went to a 2001 iS300 now I have a 2013 GS350 F Sport. Next is a 2017 GS-F. I am probably old enough to be your father little boy maybe I can teach a lot about Lexus learn something child 😂😂😂😂
Yeah Lexus Is with with out a doubt top 5 most reliable car companies. No question about it
Im pretty sure I recently read somewhere that Honda is the most reliable company in the world.
@R A I am curious as to what common problems newer Lexus vehicles exhibit.
The Lexus techs should go to BMW. They'll have plenty to do. My BMW is at the dealer again. The 5th time this year. Each time they get my car, for it's newest check engine light, it's there at least ten days. .
I own a 5 series and I'm not happy lol I feel u
@wagner1va am going lexus all the way man...am done with BMW sadly
Lexus tech don't mean they good.
kunal sabharwal dude when i wrecked my sc430 I made a mistake bought a 2010 msport 335i, it drove like no other but shit for the money i kept dumping into it, i could never enjoy it, constantly looking at the dash for lights, always problems sold it got a 2016 Lexus gs350 f sport I'll never look back
BMW- Big Money Waster. When BMW was working with Toyota, they were shocked at how far they went to make sure all the little parts worked together.
My 98 ls400 is currently sitting at 257k miles. And doesn't complain one bit when i floor it.
sucks you have to replace timing belt on those though
$700 every 60k is a small price to pay xD
@@geoff2877 its a big job..usually gaskets, seals and timing components must be replaced and the lexus parts are not cheap, then you have to also usually pay someone to do the work
60k is pretty early, more like 90k
I don't understand why it's rear wheel drive.
That reliability make Lexus a great used car option.
Currently driving a 2007 Lexus es350 with 145,000 miles, still runs like new.
I have an 07 ES350 189,000 miles
It drives smoother and looks better than most 2019 vehicles out there.
People that get in my car can't believe it's 12 years old.
Istvan Ferenc 1000% same here!!! Have the same year and model and guys don’t believe me when they see it!! Best purchase in my life!!
Mine its 172.000 miles. Nothing wrong🤓🤟
I would already be bored of driving of it, and wanting something more fun to drive.
2007 model sucks should’ve gotten the 08 one like me
So true my LS 460 is now at 360k miles
I'm such a lightweight at 160k!
Mine has 106k
My LS 430 has 290k still running strong💪
That's awesome
@@larkthomas3371 I really think Lexus is best choice for a investment of a car for someone who doesn't want to be going to the dealership every month for maintance n ect. With those euro brands I'm not a hater of any other car maker either it is just simple mathematics Legendary Lexus made in Japan its in HIGH Demand apple iPhone honda nissan toyota I'm mean need I say more
Proud of 2008 GX470... after 203k Miles still runs silky smooth. apart from regular maintenance all original. leather still smooth.
My Dad bought this truck when i graduated from high school for his use, now i have year old son, i m pretty sure this truck will be around when he graduates from high school.
One word " Made in Japan"
uh... try Canada
@@talentpt there's 3 kinds of ppl in the world, those who can count and those who can't.
Majority of them are some are Canada. But Scotty says the best are “Made in Japan”.
The quality of Lexus is superiour!!! No competition at all
Lexus, Toyota are Road 's Warriors
@Rob K. true they use the same 2GRFE block
If you think about it. Lexus is the only brand that is loved by almost every American/German/Japanese car enthusiast
This is so true.
It seems to be the only car in the car community respected by pretty much the majority except Jeremy Clarkson who hates them because the LS400 is boring 😂
When I brought my previous Audi/BMW to dealership, they were so busy, when I drove my current Lexus to their dealership, they were doing routine and light jobs.
If you want to be a mechanics and want to learn more in a short time, go Audi/BMW’s, a lot of repair and learning.
.
hahaha , so true !
That's it! I'm buying a Lexus.
Fun Fact: In order to work in a Lexus assembly line as a Takumi Master Craftsman you have to have spent a certain amount of time working at a Toyota assembly line first. Only after then, you qualify to work on a Lexus assembly line.
There's Lexus/Toyota and there's everybody else. If a ensemble worker finds a problem and stops the line he or she is celebrated, not chastised by management and co workers.
Lexus is reliable because it's spawned from Toyota...
Lexus IS a Toyota. Seriously there's nothing special other than the extra sound deadening material and different cabin materials. All the parts are Toyota.
@@johnclark7406 A luxury car is just high quality, luxurious materials + decorative woods, an expensive looking interior/exterior design, and a quiet cabin with a smooth ride. That last one can be substituted with a loud, fast engine with a harsh ride depending on your tastes. Might as well say that Lamborghini is nothing special, just a downsized Volkswagen with a big engine.
@@animerocks2468 No seriously...It wasn't all that long ago that the only difference between a Lexus in the US and the "Lexus" in Japan was that the one in Japan had a Toyota emblem.
@Maheshan Govender My point is that it wasn't all that long ago that the only difference between a Lexus in the US and the "Lexus" in Japan was that the one in Japan had a Toyota emblem. Audi and VW used to share more parts over a decade ago then they do now but ya it's a similar comparison.
@@johnclark7406 That extra sound deadening material and different cabin materials makes all of the difference to me since my main issue with Toyotas and Hondas is the cabin noise (actually doesn't bother me much, but my wife can't stand loud cars/is more sensitive to it). Keeping the reliability and reducing the noise is a great combination!
Also nice that lots of luxury car owners get rid of theirs at around 100k miles and, more or less, take care of them, usually at the dealer. I think that used Lexus are usually a great bargain for these reasons.
German brands have the "fault engineering team" where as Japanese brands have the "Quality assurance team", that's the difference. Purely opposite philosophy.
Don't forget that Benz usually engineers a lot of firsts, giving other German engineers to make it more complicated and Japanese to make it better 😂
I love Lexus. I daily a Is250 with 135k with zero issues. About to add another Lexus to the family because of this.
just added a four lexus to my household
Have myself a 2001 Lexus IS300 with 173,000 miles and still going. Fully restored it and absolutely love the car!!
I actually didn’t even know Lexus was reliable like that. Huh. Glad I stumbled upon this vid
Daniel welcome to Toyota world also known as reliable asf
they’re reliable because they’re owned by toyota. end of story
I love my Lexus. Best car i ever had.
same here. Miss my jag, but that comfort...
Porsche made v10 and worth million dollar
Lexus v10 worth 500k
BMW make v10 worth $5k 🤔
true
Great catch your 100% right, everybody scoffed at LFA $375k asking price now $500k. E60M5 you can't give them away. The only way to own E60M5 is to be mechanic with deep pockets.
Why are you comparing limited-run supercars to an M5? What's next, McLaren F1 vs E30 M3?
GPD W an m5 isn't exactly common...of the engines didn't explode I'm sure the car wouldn't depreciate as hard
@@silentags Lexus built 500 LFAs and Porsche built 1270 Carrera GTs, in total. Contrast that with the M5 which has been in production for literally decades. Not at all comparable.
Any that cost should be reliable, but only Lexus takes pride in that 👍🏿👍🏿
Only lexus could, not takes, pride in that 👎🏻👎🏻
Every part of my Audi broke after 4 years, even the door doesn't open from inside.
I'm going to marry a Lexus.

Toyota is looking for improvement every single day like crazy.... thats why...
Lexus engineers commit suicide if they hear of a Lexus that s broken down. The shame it brings upon them and their families is unbearable. GM engineers on the other hand...

I was a hardcore BMW fan for a long time. That bit me in the ass. I just bought a brand new 2019 corolla as a daily and I am utterly impressed. Based off that experience I am adamant on getting a lexus next.
I don't really think you're getting another car after the corolla, it will last you forever
BMW=Breaking My Wallet
ΒMW means BM Troubleyou! I have seen so many BMW cars at the side of the road waiting for assistance ...
My dads first Lexus was a 2001 RX, and recently when we bought a carfax we were amazed that it’s at 505,000 miles and still on the road.
Damn thats impressive as hell😂
Lexus is more than just a car brand, it's Japanese art.
@R A I'm sure you like going to the mechanics
@R A No need to swear at me pal, I'm sure you've had a fair share of bad experiences with Japanese cars. Sorry for the bad luck. I'm not sure what brands of cars you're into but the fact the Americans had to adopt the Japanese car manufacturing process to stay alive today replaces all arguments we'll ever have.
@R A I noticed you mentioned japanese cars but which ones exactly? We are talking about Toyota/Lexus which MILLIONS have already testified about. I owned a 1985 Camry in 2000. Drove like new. I owned an 89 Honda and maxima. Didn't last long. Owned a 2004 solara at 45,000 miles. Drove it till 190,000 miles, few repairs. Traded it for a lexus 2011 GS 350. Runs like a dream at 85,000 miles.
@R A record amount of recalls? Man, you better do your research. That award goes to American cars. There was only one year there was a big recall because of some break and pedal issue but Toyota will not hesitate to recall their cars at the slightest hint of a malfunction. That's how thorough they are. They'd rather spend millions to replace those parts free than soil their reputation.
Actually Mazda is Japanese art. That front grill on the Lexus is just plain ugly.
Drove a 1998 and 99’ Lexus ES 300 both with 200k miles.Recently Just picked up a used 2013 Lexus GS 350 👌🏼 Thanks for the video!!
That is awesome!
12 dislikes from beamer and Benz drivers 😂
As a Mercedes owner their is a reason why 80s Mercedes are still driving around today and no 80s Toyota's driving at all. They made a better car built like a tank.
@@OneManOnFire There's Tons of Toyota's from that time. Fair go mate
@@christopherwhitney2711 It's also fair game that more Million mile cars belong to European cars. You're welcome to look it up
@@OneManOnFire Look, like I said have a fair go instead of being a reactionary. There's plenty of old Toyota's around everywhere. I'm down under and they're all over the joint. So it's the actual fact that Toyota's have good longevity. It goes without saying here that in the past before the other automotive manufacturers improved their vehicles, that if you want to go outback, and that's the _real_ outback and return on a regular basis, you get yourself a Toyota troopy or Landcruiser. Down here if you don't see that many old town cars that are Toyota anymore then you really don't see any other brand either. Especially euro cars because they just don't last either. Some of their models were never built back then for the harsh Australian climate and curled their toes up, and everyone wants a new car!? Go figure! So you can preach at me all day, but the facts stare your figures in the face and stare them down, sorry.
@@OneManOnFire had 81 Corolla and 87 Camry that were so heavily built, I wondered how Toyo would stay in business. Seems like toyonda got wise in late 90s and cheapened down to take advantage of mass consumers with the reputation.
The Honda S2000....120hp/litre and extremely reliable, what a accomplishment.
xiong cam Not surprised, Honda originally started as an engine manufacturer. It’s their bread and butter. The F20C is one of my favorite 4cyls ever
Add a supercharger and pump that to 200whp/L hypeee
Peugeot 308 GTI
1.6 litres > 280 bhp
That is 175 bhp per 1 litre

The attention to detail with Toyota and Lexus is unmatched. I can't imagine why they are still in business since they last so long lol
The Lexus, is a Japanese art.
Thank you Japanese.
My parents got a 2005 LX470 and an ES330 and they’re still going strong, hardly any issues.
Never knew Lexus goes through rigorous quality control test. Reminds me if the high end Intel SSDs. May not be the quickest but for sure one of the most reliable. Low and slow wins the race
Answer: Toyota.
Video done.
Why is Lexus so reliable? One word: Toyota
I FREAKING LOVE Lexus! I have a 2002 GS 300 with 200K miles. I've never had to replace anything but regular wear and tear items such as the battery, brakes, oil. I also have a 2014 GS 350. 100K miles. They run and look great! I'll never buy another brand.
Just purchased a 2014 IS350 Fsport AWD, loving it!!
Good choice!
Good job on the video. All those steps lexus takes to assure a well running engine are true. The 2006 IS350 l got for my son has 204000 miles and purrs like a kitten... Purrrrrrrrrrr
Lexus dealers say their engines are poured using bottom injection, which eliminates air pockets in the engine blocks.
My RC350 is hands down the best car I've ever owned and I've owned Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, BMW, and Mercedes.
Nothing is Crafted Like a Lexus
Lexus = Experience Amazing
Is crafted so well that they have to sell it for less than the German brands. LOL...
@@boss4330 more like they sell it for the correct price where German Automotives Are overpriced. Wait a few years and look at the price of a lexus versus a bmw from the same year. You'll notice the huge difference in depreciation.
WOW. Brilliant. I had just about decided that my next car will be a Lexus. I'm hoping to get a deal on a recent model used one. Between Lexus and CarFax I'm feeling better than ever about my next car purchase. Thanks for the great info.
Thanks man!
This information definitively made me choose Lexus over other luxury brands.
Lexus is quite dependable for sure.
I just went to an AutoZone in Geneva, Ohio and the manager there told me his son was a Lexus mechanic. When covid hit his son got laid off. Now this son got a new job at a Ford dealership and according to this father, his son told his dad "I wish I still worked at Lexus. I just don't understand Ford. Lexus keeps it simple".
I just do NOT understand why people buy Cadillacs and other vehicles. I have owned my Lexus for many years now and I do NOT have any problems on it. I have fixed many problems on my family's domestic pieces of crap. BUT maybe people like to go to auto part stores and spend money.
Great video. BUT as you probably already know, you can lead a camel to water BUT you cannot make them drink.
Haha you are totally right William. I share knowledge on Hyundais or BMWs but yet there are so many that ignore the signs and keep on keeping on.
I totally agree! I love my Lexus RX. It's a 2011 and it has been a very reliable car so far.
To also add to support Lexus reliability, the supra that's being released, BMW had mention that Toyota had taken apart the engine and sent every individual piece back to headquarters for endurance testing. Which shocked BMW. This level of dedication from Toyota/Lexus is what keeps them the most reliable, no doubt about it.
My 2001 is300 is over 300,000 miles and still going strong
Awesome details and relevant info shared in this video. I had to pause in between and like it. Keep this channel live, man !!!!

Yeah that's alot.
Nice vídeo 👍 in Europe there are not many Lexus. A lot of people just want BMW, Mercedes and Audi
I've had cars from just about all the mainstream manufacturers and am now on my first Lexus. Looking very, very carefully at the car, I genuinely struggle to find any fault! They really are an example to follow, and I know this car will last and last.
I am the proud owner of a 2010 ES 350 that I purchased used from a Chevrolet dealer (before it was put on the lot), who purchased it for his darling wife, that wanted nothing to do with it. The vehicle had 15,000 miles on it and was three years old. This vehicle sounds and drives as if I purchased yesterday. She has 225K miles, and we are just warming up. As a travel nurse, I appreciate the quality and the performance. I’ve had many offers for her, but no thank you. Hands down, the best vehicle ever.
subscribed! Great job explaining why Lexus is the way to go :)
Thanks for watching
I prefer ls460 over German cars Lexus and Honda are my top favorite cars

They put a ton of resources into research and development, that's why the end product is so good.
This dude looks like he was in the backstreet boys back in the day
Do you still have a poster of them in your bedroom?
im sure that someone with the name "Mac Daddy" knows all about having boyband posters in his room.
My first Lexus was a bulletproof LS430 that got totaled a year ago. I then bought a BMW X5 and that was the worst decision ever. Fun to drive but repair after repair and now electrical gremlins are appearing. I will be going back to Lexus very very soon. Great video
For sure the Lexus is a solid brand.
That full load testing of every engine on the Dyno is critical, it assures perfect break in that prevents issues later like oil consumption.
2006 ls 430 looking beautiful and running sooo smooth........148,909
Good video I own a Lexus isf 2008 I'm glad I bought that beast only 69k she really purs 😤🤑
I have the 3.5liter V6 in my Lexus RX350 and my Avalon... best V6 I've ever owned the 4.0L in my FJ Cruiser is amazing too...
japanese craftsmanship is on another level.
It is a lot more than that. Their whole culture is obsessed with quality control, even to the point of immigration.
I got an 08 ISF close to 150k miles. I drive it hard from time to time, and she still going strong.
Just bought a newer Lexus, certified pre owned, I am pretty glad I didn't pay the extra for extended warranty, for one, I can work on luxury cars (German, but working on cars is all the same) and secondly, I know how reliable they can be to most. I have a second daily I will probably replace with an older project car Lexus, maybe a GS F or RC F 😍
I actually did pay for an extended warranty for some knucklehead reason. My previous car (2011 ES 350) only went to the shop for regular maintenance the 5 years I owned it.
Lexus LS400 1991 V8 4L 260hp same year BMW 1991 7 series V8 3L 215hp
Lexus GS300 2006 3L V6 260hp same year BMW 2006 330 3L I6 235hp
Lexus GS350 2006 3.5L V6 314hp same year BMW 2006 330i 3L I6 255hp (BMW has the turbo version but I am comparing with same aspiration)
Lexus ISF 2007 V8 5L 471hp same year BMW 2007 5L V10 507hp or BMW 2007 4L V8 414hp (Toyota/Lexus owns Yamaha)
Then Lexus/Toyota has 1JZ, 1.5JZ, 2JZ, 2ZZ, etc. if one needs power and reliability. Those engines were ahead of their time and still competing today 25+ years later.
etc.
The idea that Lexus is underpowered hp/liter is simply not true, In Japan from my understanding Lexus has even more potent engines. I am not going to say Lexus sets standards at hp/liter but I can't call Lexus engines underpowered.
BMW M5 V10 can be brought from AutoTrader for as low as 7-8k (check for yourself), from my understanding that engine expires before 100k miles. I am going to predict Lexus V10 is not going that route.
2003 LS430, only oil, brake pads, tires for 265k
Any argue with that. Great vehicles
The main problem with other luxury car manufacturers is, they were rushing new developments and products out of their doors so hard that sometimes beta products are given to customer to help them complete the testings ....
Absolutely
I've worked for Toyota Manufacturing for many years . Quality is first ....always ....every day all day . Bought my first Toyota in 2000 . Still have it today as a daily driver today . ALL the buttons and features still work . And 26mpg plus at almost 300k miles . We have added 2 more Toyotas to our garage . Now looking to add a Lexus or two . When Toyota has a issue it is usually handled with a simple recall that other manufacturers could not afford to do because for every 1 issues Toyota has most other manufacturers have 5 or more issues . Love the company and the worry free vehicles .
I have so much faith in my 2001 LEXUS ES 300 with 167k miles it still blows the air icee cold I always take it on road trips she runs like a beauty
The pursuit of perfection..
