Perfectly said. In all my many, many BMWs, Mercedes, Porsches, Range Rovers, Audi....twice I "needed" to go to Lexus, to let the "reliability" wounds heal from having to deal with German & British cars. My 2 Lexus Rxs were the ONLY 2 cars I have ever owned that did NOT have one tiny problem, issue or concern! That being said, and I've said it many times on this Forum...I have also never been more bored out of my f***ing mind!

This 35d is my 5th X5 since 2004. 2 of those have been dismal, I mean simply dreadful. But I've had (6) 3 Series, and only 1 of those has been dismal. 3 Mercedes MLs, and all 3 were such a headache! 3 Range Rovers, 1 was a nightmare, 1 was kind of ok and 1 perfect! Audi was so so. Porsche was almost excellent.

So IMO, ALL cars are going to have issues and need attention, including Lexus. But, Lexus does seem to be much, much more reliable. If getting from point A to B is important to you (in luxury of course), but driving fun is not important...I have nothing but praise and recommendation for Lexus!!
