When it comes to build quality it is my personal opinion that the newer Lexus models are not as well built as previous models. When I mean "build quality", I mean most everything. Dash plastics, door handles, buttons..
I'm am not downplaying Lexus' newer vehicles, In fact I happen to think highly of most of them (I'd buy an LS460 in a minute, over an S-Class, 7er or A8) Same goes for the IS, I'd rather have it over the 3er, C or A4. It's just that I found those particular items to not be quite as good as previous Lexus models.
Some were limited time and some were not. Doesn't take rocket science though.. Especially when one has had much experience with many vehicles from that particular manfacturer.
When it comes to reliability I agree with Mr. Mercedes for the most part. While they have adapted a number of technological features, they have traded some of their reliability. |
Thanks for clearifing your points.
I guess the only place we don't see eye 2 eye is the assumption that this current generation isn't as well built as previous ones. I'm not going to assume fault until it's proven to be true.
