I've also found that Toyota/Lexus fanatics aren't enthusisast, they only like Toyota/Lexus products and they're pretty ignorant about any other brand beyond what their surveys tell them. Such a sad bunch.

You should read some of the B.S. they come up with. It is way more overboard than anything I've ever read here.

I too am sick of these Toyota / Lexus fanboys. Unbelievable what crap they're spewing out.
"Lexus has the best interiors in every class, by far." <-- True, but I wouldn't say "best in class". Audi is a powerful player here, and the newer Mercedes interiors are pretty impressive too. "Lexus is so reliable. German cars always break down. I mean how did BMW and Mercedes survive from the 1950s into the 1990s when their cars are so unreliable? My grandfather still drives a Toyota from 1899 which his father handed down to him - and it still works." <--- Proof that these dipshits don't know sh*t about cars.  "Hybrid technology is the future. The Germans are like so dead because all they have are stinky and smelly and slow diesels. The Lexus GS450h does 0-62 in 5.7 seconds, a Mercedes E320 CDI takes like 7 seconds, or maybe like 10 seconds. That's so slow. Hybrid is the future." <--- 
I could go on, but these idiots piss me off. When Lexus boys feel teased, they immediately counter with "but Lexus is so reliable". It's getting old. Just go to - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER and check out the idiotic Lexus fans posting there. Sadly, there seem to be a lot of idiotic German car fans there too. No wonder these things always get out of hands... | | | | | Aficionado

Yep and add to that some crazy stuff, like the Lexus LF-A will kill the 911, and/or VW rebadges their cars as Audis/Lambos/Bugattis and you got the complete picture. | | | | | Trendsetter

They have no love of culture, no passion for history, no sense of true style, no appreciation for authenticity, no sensitivity for the metaphysical aspects of engineering.
