Why because I am unbiased and can see the pro and cons of every vehicle. I'm not a Lexus homer, thus stroke Toyotas dong for making primarily bland appliances. The ISF though in my opinion is the ultimate daily driver. I'm going to be able to flog this thing for years and thousands of miles care free. But can admit in a heart beat it falls short in performance categories against other cars. Sorry to trigger people :P
Toyota went to where the money was and it served them well. Building a quality, reliable, product, with consumers in mind. Hence lack of real sports car being made since 98.
Their SUV's and Trucks aren't bland. Some of their 4wd models are very capable. If the TRD PRO 4runner had 3rd row my wife and I would have that over the GX. But since they don't she's been eyeing 460s to replace the 470.
If a german car maker was on my list BMW would be in the top of that list. Merc is nice don't get me wrong but their designs seem to date fast and not all that well. Almost reminds me of the older CTS's.

Hahaha the bearing issue was what essentially pushed me away. I was convinced that after a bearing replacement I'd be good to go, but just didn't want to deal with the risk of even those failing as they have not been tested long term.
Hoping to pick up an E92M still when they are in the low 20's. Then dump the S86 V10 from the E60 M5 with the DCT gearbox and have my ultimate driving machine. While safely daily driving my ISF haha.

LMAO, I couldn't exactly remember how to type your screen name, but when I saw his comment I knew you'd get a kick out of it.

The Problem with searching google is, you got to keep in mind how many audis have a failure and how many are produced.
There are a lot more audis than Lexus out there and so there are more issues in the Internet. If you'd take a look on how many percent of total sold cars have issues, I'd bet it's almost the same between Audi and Lexus.
In my country everyone needs a Audi or BMW because that's what successful people drive. Result of that is, they're overly priced in the used car market. We bought a daily recently and ended up with a Benz T-Model because we needed space. i'd say there's nothing better out there (German wise)
