Yes, I would have to agree with Leo in the sense that Lexus/Toyota make the best practical efficient vehicles for everyday people, but are considered boring mass market econoboxes in the car enthusiast community.

@OmniNaut If that is your sole reason for choosing that over the mini, in a sense would you say that is sort of conforming to non-conformity?

It depends on tastes, but when I buy a car I want it to last long. I want something well done in general.

I might buy a Chinese car in the meantime though, they're extraordinary price quality wise. Like an Omoda 5. I don't need anything more really.

Lexus is a great upper end car. You really don't need anything fancier.

Toyota and Telsa designs are nothing alike. Tesla is minimalist and Toyota has a bunch of busy, cheap, needless lines. Toyota is making some of ugliest cars today.

The interior makes a big difference for me.

Also with cars you have to factor in service costs.

As soon as you go euro parts are harder to come by. Less alternatives and more OEM only. Services can be HUGE - routine minor and major at certain km %/number.

This is where Toyota, Subaru etc and a lot of the asian makers have a huge advantage.

@Leo Gura Do these not look alike to you?

 

From a practical/value standpoint it definitely does not make sense to get anything fancier than a Lexus, but after researching the higher end of luxury vehicles I can say that the attention to detail, style, level of comfort, performance, quietness and quality are on a completely different level in comparison with something like a Rolls Royce.

They do not. And you took a tame version of a Toyota design. Toyota has much worse designs on the roads.

I have a negative view of all extravagant luxury goods. So, no, I do not salivate over a Rolls Royce.

How would you say the styling differs?

You mean like this one? It’s funny I actually picked this car out with my mother back in 2016, I still love the design I think it’s really unique, futuristic, and still looks modern 10 years later.

What’s your argument against extravagant luxury goods?

I have more of a love/hate relationship with extravagant luxury goods, on one hand I appreciate the design and craftsmanship, and on the other hand I feel like they are overpriced and attract unsavory characters/communities in society.
