But back to Lexus quality. Leaking damper in 45tkm (30k miles) and 1.5 year old car?
The Acura forum has all the same complaints and I lived with most issues for 10 years. My experience with my GS is that it's a better fit and similar finish. No issues at all as compared to the Acura.
Yup, I think the new Accord is the best looking car Honda ever made in their line up. New Acuras don't look that good to me. The TLX however, looks better than the TL it replaced. That car was just meh!!
Acura styling is boring, they're sleeping on the job in the design department. The Honda Accord has more personality than the new TLX.
Hard for me to admit, but I find the GS styling to similar to the IS and ES. Interior design is fantastic, outside, a little to conforming to the line. I want people to know I am driving a GS and not wondering if it is an ES. I even have to look at the very subtle styling clues to notice he difference. Mercedes does a much better job in having the models have individual styling.
I can't tell any of the new Mercedes apart. They all have the same exact front ends. Acura is just boring. And you know it's a GS when you see the rear, it looks like a Camry only bigger. The ES is smaller and rounded, and the IS has all kinds of weird **** goin on.
This guy. This guy right here. This guy knows what I'm sayin! Lol
I always know when it's an ES approaching me because it's the only Lexus car that I actually can't tell what it is. I think Lexus has done a good job making each rather unique, even if one or two are rather boring.
Its an issue all over the industry right now, everything looks too similar. Audi has the same issue, BMW has the same issue, Mercedes does too. Cadillac does too. Its like the same car in 3 sizes. Used to be each model had its own distinct design language, now they seem to feel like the brand itself needs design language that is just applied to each model.
