New here. Benz owner. Why should I get a Lexus?

I sent a PM to the OP yesterday letting him know that his response is requested.

It's your money, and it's your car to have to live with. So, of course, you should decide on your own.

There's a fine line--if he is just gathering info on Lexus, knowing that posters on a Lexus forum will be biased toward Lexus, then this is a good source of info. But if he is taking the advice here as the complete base of his research and decision making, that's unwise. I never truly understand people asking "Which car should I buy?" threads--everyone is different, and taking advice from total strangers on the internet can be a bad idea. But as long as the OP is just gathering info, and nothing else, then he should use the info wisely, in light of all other research.

I would be the last one to criticise German sourced cars, but you'll seen see that Lexus doesn't give you the feeling that you're driving a car from another planet, engineered in a way which will definitely have the most intelligent person in tears if he should have a breakdown where road assistance can't reach. Yet Lexus has built up a reputation for extra-ordinary reliability, it is a very comfortable vehicle loaded with the best toys money can buy and it has a charm that just grows and grows on you.

Problem is that Lexus doesn't really take a back seat to MB these days if you're talking durability and luxury. So that leaves performance and driving pleasure.
I think your question can be rephrased for a Lexus forum this way: Current longtime Benz owner exploring options never owned a Lexus before, what should I consider if I plunk down the cash?
Second question: anybody switch from Benz to Lexus and why? A few threads on this forum about that too.

If that's all it takes to get their panties to drop, you're going for the wrong women.

Eh? Since when was panty-dropping a bad thing?
Maybe those ladies are into guys who appreciate fine engineering. Or maybe they appreciate fine engineering themselves. Man, I need an LS...

Can set of a chain reaction, soon you'll have to replace the LS for a new RX (I understood it's getting seven seats). Then you can buy yourself an LFA to visit the moms of all your kids in the different states (just hope you don't have to buy them an NX each).

Panty-dropping itself isn't a bad thing, but it doesn't really happen even with a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. So if it's happening with an outdated 1999 Lexus GS400... you see where I'm coming from with the quality of women.
