Lexus is quite likely the most overrated brand ever established in recent automotive history. The majority of their products represent nothing more than warmed over Toyotas with a bad Donald Trump combover. They are the epitome of luxury... for the ignorant, inept and uneducated. If you want a reliable, leather clad Interstate highway and suburban-road appliance with a nameplate even more greatly overstated than BOSE with interior pushbutton componentry on-par with the finest Fisher Price has to offer, a Lexus may be just the car for you.

I should point out however what i should really do is CLOSE THIS because you posted that only to cause strife when the REAL comments can be seen below.

Also, let's point out that you started your post here to cause strife when what the guy REALLY posted over there was.
SC430- By far the most impressive Lexus of all. Like the IS300, it doesn't have the blatant Toyota-ness that its siblings like the GS400 and LS430 have. I drove a black on teak-leather example and it was absolutely gorgeous! After driving it, I'd take one of these over an Audi TT for my personal urban speedster in a heartbeat. If only they came in a manual... Handling is good, power is good, comfort is good, switchgear is good... man, this is a great car! I love it. Wonder how much these are going for used... RATING: 9/10
RX330- No, this isn't a true off-roader, though it's fun to drive off-road in minor cases anyway. It's small, very controllable, nimble and really quite fun to drive! I took it through the course five times in a row. It shouldn't be this fun, but for some reason it is. It's a cute little 'ute, and perfect for small families or couples for urban traffic and weekend getaways into the mountains alike. Though pricey, I'd look CPO for this one definitely. Superb comfort and ergnomics. I love it! Really! RATING: 8/10
GX400- It didn't even dawn on me that this thing was a reskinned 4RUNNER until passatdream told me. They did a nice job covering that up! This is a great size 'ute to pack a few friends into for an off-road trip to go hiking or rafting. Soaks up the bumps like a sponge, coddles you in comfort... it actually makes off-roading boring. No jarring surprises, just floating quietly along like a bumpy road. Acceptably capable in most scenerios. Slick. Really slick. RATING: 8/10
IS300- Yet another hot sedan I was happy to finally get behind the wheel of. Although too 'boy-racer' for me, this is a fun sports sedan to drive. Handles well, power is decent, and fit and finish is acceptable. The chronograph gauge cluster is handsome and the automatic gear **** looks straight out of a Ferrari- love it, but wouldn't want to touch it on a summer's afternoon in Dallas. It feels more serious and geared toward enthusiasts who actually are competent about cars than Lexus' other offerings. I really wish they had a manual to try out. The IS300 is still too small for me, but this would make an outstanding buy on the CPO market, especially with Lexus' top notch service. That's where my recommendation would lie. Start combing eBay, folks! RATING: 7/10

Did you see me flame anyone? calling names? I didn't even state an opinion!
All I did was bring to Clublexus owners, what some of the Passat owners out there think of them...

Let's not play "who is the idiot" in this thread. You quoted the one line where he bashed the product and linked the thread. In reality his reviews were very subjective. Quit acting like you did not post this to get a raise.
