Yes, reliable, agreed. But I wish they still had the materials, driving refinement, and interiors they had before about the last 10-15 years. All three, IMO, have dropped noticeably.......though not necessarily all three at once, or necessarily in the same vehicle-line-ups.

It will be interesting to read what current owners say about the brand. Those who have owned previous Lexus models and those who have owned or own newer Lexus models.
Both Toyota and Lexus want buyers to remember them for their reliability. It is part of the overall ownership experience. It is why I still monitor and track Lexus progress for the next major car decision in immediate family or for my parents. I wish more manufacturers would follow their lead.
