2. Since its debut, and in the history of automobiles, no car manufacturer has attained as many quality awards and customer satisfaction top ratings than Lexus. This is apparent in surveys taken in practically every market Lexus automobiles have been sold, including the US, Canada, England, Australia, Korea, Taiwan...furthermore, Lexus has done this year after year (JD Power, Consumer Reports, others...)
3. Lexus production standards, including manufacturing to body tolerances with thousands of cm/mm, with the industry-leading Tahara plant, are second to none. (JD Power)
Which can lead to the conclusion: Lexus is simply the best built car in the history of the automobile.

The difference is that Consumer Reports can be trusted and IMO J.D. Power cannot. My experience over the years...and from what I have seen...... is that CR is much closer to actual customer experiences.

I don't think anyone was receiving awards because there was no establishment giving them out. What about the time when most cars were being hand-built? I dont think any manufacturer was receiving any awards for quality. Most importantly, what about manufacturers like Rolls Royce and Bentley? They don't get included in JD Powers surveys so their quality is unknown to the major public. Considering they are hand built cars using the finest materials available, I won't doubt the presence of quality. It is safe to say that the QC for those cars are MUCH higher than any Lexus, MB, BMW, Acura, Infiniti etc... Another thing to consider are the awards that Lexus has received in markets other than the US. In Europe, I believe Honda received the award for most reliable manufacturer. In South Africa, Honda also received the award for best quality. Lexus has received many awards in the US, but you need to do the research on who has received what in other countries as well. So my point being.... Lexus does make great cars. But, to say Lexus is simply the best built car in the history of the automobile without considering how a Rolls Royce or Bentley is manufactured is simply ludicrous. If I were to make a statement like that at one of the weekly car-meets in Newport, I would seriously be afraid of getting my *** kicked or seriously told off.

The new Bentley had 64 exposed screws
Lexus is #1 or near #1 in Europe. We posted the threads about it here.
Its the best quality car engineered.Deal with it an LIVE with it. If not for Lexus, ALL cars quality would be substantially worse that it is today. This is a case of where competiton benefited EVERYONE.
Lexus also has the highest rated automobile plants. So its not just the cars, its the plants. They have the highest rated dealer service and near highest or highest customer service.
Why on EARTH would u debate this? That is one of Lexus MAIN selling points. Quality.

Winstar beating the Sienna

Esclade beating the Tundra (and being called a light duty truck at that!)
and the king of all of them....
S-10 beating the Tacoma!!!!
I'm telling you, check out Consumer reports and these don't make ANY sense. So somebody is off base here.
