Lexuses are basically re-badged Toyotas... posers in the world of luxary cars.
The whole "BMW's are in the shop all the time" thing is a load of crap. I drive a 745i, and have had fewer problems with it than my last few cars. Not to mention, they're a hell of a lot more fun to drive than a Lexus!
Calm down now
Yeah, Posers in the real world of luxury cars
Look at thier sales worldwide. You don't have to like them, but to each thier own.
By the way, you got shafted with the 745i. Should have waited for the 750i or Li. And just because your car was not in the shop doesn't mean shit. Don't know if you know, but the 7 series are the worst in reliability. (New 05 and 06 750's are much better) If you don't believe me look at the resale values of the 00's 740's and early 02 and 03 745i. Just remember to get that extended warranty before your 4 years is up
Just for kicks, I do drive a BMW, an E46 M3!
