The Reiz is the export version of the Toyota Mark X (modern day equivalent of the Cressida)

It looks kinda Bangle-ish...

Agreed, along with an AWD drivetrain as a standard bonus feature.

Yes it's Bangle butt fever and it's fun hehe!! Lexus has their own version of it and I LOOOOVE it!!!!!! Infairness even though I love 7 series first, but i have 2 say now that the LS 460 is way way much better looking than the 7, and it is really a very a big threat to its German rivals now that the LS has already entered directly the premium luxury class. Wagi ang Lexus!

It looks better than the 7 series.

Btw, kumusta ang build quality ng Lexus? Mas ok ba kumpara sa BMW?

Yes actually sa U.S. Lexus cars has the least number of early defects/problems in the luxury category for several years na way way ahead of other german brands, that's a feat, lexus is really getting better and better it's great! Go Lexus hehe

That's what the Japs do too, they copy the Germans and improve upon, much like the Koreans copy the Japs. I like the rear right seat, it can recline and massage. The LS 460 is up against the 7 series and S-class. Wait till you see the LS 600hL a V8 hybrid and another one w/ V12. Lexus will take on the big dawgs!!!

...while the Yanks copy the Pommies, the Germans copy the Italians

All of these adaptations shouldn't be frowned upon because like nature, it is the very reason how things evolve over time. I read somewhere that the Germans are adopting some manufacturing methodology of their Asian counterparts to increase reliability and production. How I wish they would go further and adopt the technology as well. Hybrid Bimmers anyone?

I've read that the LS 600h L will just have a V8 engine with power to match the german's V12, no V12 yet, well at any rate the LS will definitely kick the asses of the german brands hehe! Great!
