It's very hard to see a Lexus where i live , i know they are very rare in Germany so you understand what i mean.
Lexus is leaving me cold , there is nothing for me to like about them. They are not sporty , not well designed (or at least they have to passion in their design at all) , not prestigeous at all (most people don't even know that Lexus even exists , this is Europe we are talking about) so a Volvo (any Volvo) is a more perferable car for me than a Lexus.
See Volvo sales in Europe compared to Lexus ones and you will know how many people agree with me.
