I wasn't comparing them based on "prestige" level. I made the comparison because they are made by the same parent company, from many of the same parts. I understand the Jetta is an inexpensive car.

Your statement would be like saying I shouldn't compare a new 4Runner to the new GX.
I agree. Most Auto companies have the "luxury" equivalent of a current model from their sister company. Lexus/Toyota, Infiniti/Nissan, Acura/Honda etc. Depending on your point of view, Some may not think paying more for the prettier sister is worth it. I do. Look at why GM is sinking, I currently own a GMC Envoy which is based after the trailblazer, Ranier, Ascender, Bravado and Saab 9-7(talk about overkill)each model stealing sales from the other.

I don't think you can compare Lexus quality. Everybody experiences are different I had Lexus GS430 for 4 years I got it new. Not a single problem. I sold it to my wife grandfather still not a single problem.

I agree, I love the Lexus Quality and feel, but 60k+ for the new GX... no thanks! I am actually very happy with the decision to go with the Navigator, I have a lot more features and options than my 07 GX had and I love the design and comfort of the Navigator, plus that metallic "Tuxedo Black" is to die for!
