    Yaaaaaaawwwwn…..

    For the life of me I don’t get the Lexus buyers.

    For the price you pay it’s a freaking joke.

    Just a bunch of Nip car owners that are wannabe Mercedes owners.

    Ooohh! I can line up behind the velvet rope and utter pretty-please-with-sugar-on-it to the matra-dee*, hoping that I will achieve my lifelong dream of dining on over-priced food served by snooty, indifferent help.

    Please, Toyota Motor, pretty-please sell me your car! Pleeeezzzzzz?

    Feh.

    PS to TerryTate: while I see Lexuseseses as nothing more than re-badged Toyoti with leather and bigger engines, Mercedes is nothing to write home about either, especially when it comes to electricals.

    Then again, my cars are for driving, not making a fashion statement.

      Hey Grizz,

      I guess I should clarify my point a bit.

      The Mercedes comment was really more about identifying the mindset of the buyers rather than the product.

      As in Lexus buyers are very much like Mercedes buyers, in they are both into status symbols generally speaking. They just tend to prefer Japanese status symbols over German ones (the Lexus buyers tend to have such internal preferences like that because they think things like “Germans are evil because they killed so many Jews”, whereas they cannot seem to find fault with those cute and cuddly Japanese, you know the types, the ones who get upset about the U.S. dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki). But why let history get in the way of the shiny bauble that they wish to buy.

      I find that most of those buyers tend not to know a damn thing about cars, but they are ever so eager to part with their money as long as it isn’t American made.

      Hopefully that clarifies my thoughts.
