I beg to differ. The brand, in recent years, has become more reliable than most full-luxury-brands.....including Cadillac and Lincoln. In fact, according to J.D. Power, only Lexus and Genesis exceeds it in the luxury class.

That study is talking about number of problems reported by owners. We’re talking about build quality and the precision of controls.

As well as them?
I am still just BLOWN AWAY by the new Yukon's interior, the buttons and pretty much everything else including switches which equal Lexus in terms of quality feel. (Window buttons, turn signal stalk, etc., sunroof controls, etc. etc.). The push button gear selector would absolutely pass muster in a high end Lexus, and I like how they put wood trim around it as it would be if it were a regular console shifter. I still don't care for the design but it is what it is, at least it is extremely high quality.
But the *****, volume and tuning for example, aren't buttery like Lexus ***** are. They're high quality enough, but not like Lexus.

Some of the switchgear and quality in modern Lexus cars has gone downhill. Refinement used to be the big selling point in the past, this made up for mediocre power rating and slower performance, modern Lexus sell on different values and attributes that have more to do with a more sporting experience

You should go sit in a Genesis G90. From reading a lot of your posts I think I get your style, and I think you'd really like the feel of that car. I rented a 2021 on Turo during a quick vacation and I was completely blown away. The 2023 is even more refined and high quality inside. It'd be right up your alley - it's the car the LS should be at this point if it stuck true to its original fan base.

Lexus fell off recently, it's not the same anymore. Mercedes feels smoother now, the 500 controls feel similar to the ES these days
