Good luck with that position, Monster.

Keep it clean guys. We're allowed to express our opinions on these boards, even if they're negative. As long as the discussions are civilized and members post reasons to back up their claims.

I personally have no real beef with Toyota or Lexus, but what really annoys me is how people overrate Lexus so much and claim that they have achieved so much in so little time (neglecting to mention Toyota's "unlimited" cash reserves, shared parts with Toyota's (therefore cheaper R&D etc.)) and other factors. Also, Toyota cars tend to be reliable and well-built: and that's it. Compare a Toyota product to those of their competitors in other criteria such as handling, comfort etc. and Toyotas usually perform average.

And yep, I absolutely hate how Lexus markets their hybrids. No offense to Toyota / Lexus fans but this is bordering on false marketing.
