    Most Toyota or Lexus customers are like me - not necessarily car enthusiasts, primary function of a car for us is transportation. We don't care about CVTs or 0-60 time ( speed limits everywhere) or revving to the redline. A comfortable quiet ride, reliable engine and good build quality are top of our requirements. Lexus and Toyota do all this and are reasonably priced - that's why they're one of the top selling car manufacturers year after year.

      This is where the buyer demographics diverge...Lexus/Toyota buyers want longevity, German car owners want tech and sporty driving. Toyota is still great for their cause, but the Germans aren't doing bad either for what they offer.

    I don't know why some people say that the car is slow. what do you mean by slow? for racing? yeah of course. who would wanna buy an SUV if their propose was to race?!!! If you live in the United States, no car is slow if it can go up to 80 mph, because anything above that means a ticket!!! Unless you live in Germany and planning to take the Auto Bahn to work everyday, that would be another story. I'm also 100% positive that this "slow" car can do at least 120 mph, I don't think you'd need more than that unless you were immature.

      @Matthew Aniston LOL it's fair to call me that after reading my comment. Just for the record I've done 160 mph in a 65 limit zone, on more than one occasion, when I had my 745. But now I kind of grew up a little and it's just not worth a ticket or an accident for me. again if my car can do 80 or 90 mph, comfortably, I don't think I'd need any more. I have a 2013 Camry now and I'm good with it :).

I have no respect for their method of doing business. I can care less about the pride they have in something that is "never original". Lexus is for those who value durability over style, performance, panache, innovation, handling, braking etc. Buy a Lexus to get a Japanese version of a Mercedes/BMW, then keep it 25 years and be completely out of date with the latest technology moving forward. People will be flying around in the air, in BMW's powered by water or solar power, while Lexus owners will be driving the broken streets below them in 25 yr old cars with 250,000 miles on them. lol

    I must say as an Acura fan, I really love and respect how much dedication, care and quality Lexus (and even Yamaha) puts into each and every product down to the very engine. Acura/Honda has been slowly slipping in quality and reliability since the early 2000s (Still pretty reliable to this day; don’t get me wrong). I’m one of the limited amount of owners who tend to actually look into keeping the cars I finance. But honestly ever since the LFA ended production, I’ve been looking into buying a Lexus for quite some time. I guess I’m just getting tired of ‘throwaway’ culture.

    As much as I love Mercedes and BMW I ended up buying the Toyota Rav4 Hybrid and that was because of the reliability and build quality of this suv. It might not be as exciting as the German makes but I can live with that and 20 years down the it will still be running as good as the day I purchased it.

I've owned a Corvette, three Porsches, and other performance cars over the years.....and I'd put my GS350 up against any of them. It's a well mannered, high powered rocket with superb fit and finish. Truly a luxury performance sedan that takes a back seat to NO one.

    I own a 2011 Lexus ES350 since April 2018. Financed it at 87k miles. It has been over 2 years now and currently I am at 192k miles, drove it for 105k miles and all this time, I never had any issues with it, only tires, rotors and brake pads have been replaced and car still runs like new. I believe every word this guy said. It was my first Lexus I drove and I am obsessed with this car. I can’t think of any other luxury brand for such an inexpensive price. Lexus wins the game in every aspect. You can’t go wrong with buying a Lexus. I have someone who is buying it next month and I am already in the market for a newer Lexus model. I do own a 2014 Mercedes C250, but I much prefer driving Lexus, because it is way smoother than my C250.

    • @ECPP
      @ECPP  3 роки тому +2

      Good morning Scott. I hear you on the decision, it can be difficult. The Lexus cars certainly have a strong focus on quality and attention to detail and the cars like BMW and Porsche are more performance and reliability secondary. The question to be asked is how tolerant a person is go maintenance issues. I know for me, performance still trumps all else because I really do believe that life is too short to drive boring cars. The ISF was a fantastic car as wa
      S the LFA and even the LC500 is wonderful as shown in the video.

Lexus is absolutely the best automobile brand in the world for multiple reasons, so many that it overshadows the Germans! Yea Rolls Royce is what people think of as “ultimate luxury” the best of luxury cars simply because of the high price! People think high price=better product and unfortunately this mindset has been created by all of the marketing that control our lives! Yes Rolls has nice materials and is unique and hand built but it isn’t worth the $500,000 price tag that will be at the dealer constantly! That is how these cars are designed, to need lots of maintenance and services. They just aren’t reliable! Lexus is without a doubt the most reliable automobiles! A used Lexus is a commodity and hidden truth!
