I do, however, respect your opinion, though I don't agree with it, and my experience has shown otherwise.

This car is too polite to drop a deuce in public. And, despite its small size, it is more of a working dog than a show-Pomeranian.
As far as "well-groomed", though, I do agree that is a sharp-looking color, particularly with the two tone interior....that's one reason why I chose it.

For a small car, I think this looks great! I like the color too. Enjoy!
Thanks.

I considered a UX, but, except for the always-excellent NuLuxe seat-upholstery, I didn't like its interior materials/design, the way the undersized console controls for the audio system worked, or the (IMO) annoying spindle-grille that Lexus simply refuses to do away with. Its road-manners, though, were as good or better than the Buick's. and Lexus has kept the 6/70 and 4/50 warranties that Buick used to have and has now dropped back to 5/60 and 3/36. The UX also cost a lot more, and IMO, was not as good a value for the money. The Mercedes and BMW offerings in this price class were not a consideration, for several reasons. The Trailblazer was too-overstyled IMO, and I did not trust the potential unreliability of the Cadillac XT4 (which, like the UX, would have cost a lot more).
It’s too small for me,
but I know several people that own them & love them as their primary or commuter car. I really haven’t heard much bad about them & I see them all over the roads, so they are a top seller. Enjoy!

Congrats on the order. I think the earth trembled a little bit when you placed it. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Also weird how we got random influx of new/newish users complaining about a non-Lexus being posted in the general car chat. For those of y'all just tuning in, there are a lot of us here who joined the forums when we owned a Lexus but have since switched to other brands for a variety of reasons. I myself am just not really into luxury cars that much, but the LS400 was priced right for college-aged me in 2011. But I like the forum and the people here so I stuck around after I switched to Ford.

Why do people feel the need to post stuff like "I thought this was a LEXUS forum? Can they not see that 90% of the threads in this forum are not about Lexus vehicles? And to go to the effort to join the site just to post that as a first post? I don't get it.
I was getting my rental car washed today (yeah, I'm THAT guy, I'll post a thread about that too...its not a Lexus so bring it haters) and I was very surprised to see a young guy with a black Regal getting it washed...demographically I would never have placed this guy in a Buick, but there he was polishing it and very obviously loved it a lot.

But IMO, let's not pile on that new poster too hard...he (or she) maybe just needs to learn by experience. We all make mistakes, and hopefully learn from them.
and I was very surprised to see a young guy with a black Regal getting it washed...demographically I would never have placed this guy in a Buick, but there he was polishing it and very obviously loved it a lot.
Have you ever owned a black car? 20 minutes from then, even on clear day, it probably needed to be washed again LOL.

And Thank You for showing what I've been saying for years....that Buicks are not necessary a Geriatric brand. I liked them even as a teen ager....so did my best friend at the time.

I would love to have a black car, but I just can't do it. It would drive me crazy.
