the public does not view Japan brands as luxury brands no matter how hard they try to promote the brands as luxury brands
it's the brands from Europe that the public view as luxury brands
not only cars. think clothes, shoes, bags
even US brands can't compete with brands from Europe when it comes to luxury

lexus kasi parang hilaw pa talaga eh. lexus is a "luxury" car brand that aspires to be european. if you can get the real thing for a reasonable difference in price, eh di might as well get the real deal! you don't buy an automatic seiko if you've made your money and want to flaunt it. you get a rolex.

good example. Seiko. no matter how much work Seiko puts into making their top-of-the-line watch, it's still a Seiko
it's not a Swiss watch
no matter how reliable Lexus makes their cars, no matter how much hi-tech stuff they put into their cars, it's still a Toyota

October 26th, 2011 05:37 PM #35Is the IS300 really THAT cramped? I'd thought it is at least of the same space as older midsize sedans (90s size). I really disapprove of the IS300's engine though. Its not thrilling at all, even the late model Accord 3.0V6 makes significantly more power, is really spacious and well kitted, has great handling and is relatively cheap to procure second hand. Lexus really should have brought more engine options including the IS F.

October 26th, 2011 05:41 PM #36Strongest point? In the luxury brands group, Lexus can be considered as a sensible and practical brand offering high level of luxury but still with all the good qualities typically found in a garden variety Toyota. Its target market is, for me, older rich folks with the mindset of Warren Buffet, or rich folks who want a more down to earth but still comfortable car for their more plebeian trips.

Your probably right, it is simply a benz but with a rubbish badge, and it makes no noise, it has no soul. Not a drivers car just a travelers car.....
