Default Free maintenance?

I am a C class benz owner and I am considering purchasing the new IS. Does Lexus offer free maintenance like benz does?

Default Not Good

Unfortunately that's another strike against the IS.

Free included in the cost of the Benz. Free because special lubricants are required. Free requiring you to return to Benz for all services. Wait till it's out of warranty! Then you'll understand the meaning of free.

I've had it for 4 years 70K miles all I've had to pay for is two service which came to a total of 400.00. How much is the regular maintenance on a lexus? Special Fluids (synthetic oil) does lexus not use synthetic oil? Also it's not about keeping the benz it's about replacing it. As far as returning to benz to maintain it I would not trust the car with anyone else other than a factory trained technician. I would feel the same way about letting anyone maintain the Lexus.
