Just found this out on Autos.MSN.com:
(Lots of "Grade B", which means Lexus repairs are "somewhat lower-than-standard Premium" compared to other comparable vehicles.)
Key:
Liability Rating Index (Liability) -- Index of bodily injury and property damage liability premium.
Damage and Theft Index (Damage/Theft) -- Index of collision and comprehensive premium.
A -- charged significantly lower-than-standard premium
B -- charged somewhat lower-than-standard premium
C -- charged standard premium
D -- charged somewhat higher-than-standard premium
E -- charged significantly higher-than-standard premium
Vehicle Safety Discount (Safety) -- The VSD columns indicate the percentage discount for the medical payments/personal injury protection portion of the premium.
SPW -- Sportwagon.

I can believe that. When I got insurance on my then new 04 Lexus, it cost me a about $400 more a year than for the same coverage on my NSX. Just browsing parts MSRPs throughout the years I noticed a lot of my Lexus parts prices for similar items also cost a lot more than my NSX. For example. The front rubber lip on my old SC400 was about $400. Similar part for the NSX was $100. Aluminum Control arms for the SC400 was also about $400 each. I think that was about the same as the NSX. Buy anyway, what I have found out is Lexus is an expensive car to repair if damaged or broken because the parts are so expensive.

The body shop warned me when the car was brought there that Lexus parts are very expensive.
