Hello, I wanted to know if someone has already compared the Lexus to the Toyota resp. has already driven (driving behavior etc.)? What about the turbo hole so often mentioned? The Lexus is a bit weaker than the Toyota. I find something sad. Not that I want to make the Toyota bad now, but I think that you are more used to the engines (I don’t know how to express it) of a premium brand or however, are a little stronger than the series models I was looking at the IS220d yesterday and was positively surprised by the vehicle, both from the outside and from the interior. I can’t understand different reviews in the forums about the vehicle. Sure, no vehicle is perfect and that vehicle has different advantages than another. I drive an E46 320d myself and it’s not as reliable and so on as is often claimed. Thanks in advance for every review…

Hello Lexusfreunde, A few weeks ago my wife and I visited the Lexus dealer in Munich to take a test ride with the Lexus RX400h as agreed. I already reported on the experiences we could make with the vehicle, today the style is on. After we had gone through the light-flooded ambience of the sales room and had registered us the friendly lady at the counter, we were greeted by the responsible seller. A person in whom – w the characteristics of the English substatement were incarnated in the course of the day as well as the ability to listen, to understand and to argue objectively. We found these abilities all the more remarkable because I did not save with consistent criticism after the test drive. Because in no case did I want to miss the amenities I am used to from my Citroen in the future. And the loss list was long. The friendly welcome in this house ended with my message – or I should say better – with our promise that we will come to the successor of the RX 400h in 2009. Oh, what an abyss is opening when I turn to the German Nobel brand “Mercedes”! I have been driving my Mercedes SLK for eight years now – and every time I bring the roadster to the inspection, the lady at the counter asks me: “Truck or car?” For me it is incomprehensible anyway, like the Mercedes brand with its Mischa When I came with my brand-new Citroen C5 to my Upper Bavaria dealer to activate the emergency call function, the addressed stumpy man suddenly turns around at the counter and yells at the workshop with 120 phon: “DU SEPP, WIA KEEPS WITH THE NOTRUFKNOPF? What’s completely impossible with the Mercedes dealer, because he would irritate her: “Truck or car?” “??? – No, SLK!” The Citroen dealer would shock her: “DU SEPP, WIA GIVES THE INSPECTION?” What are your experiences? – Is Lexus a brand with style? Greeting, HIPPODAMOS

Now have a Lexus for some time and must say a rare guest on European roads. But Mazda can be seen driving around everyday. Now the new model of Mazda gives the Mazda 6 and I am always amazed how close he reaches to the Lexus form and time and again I catch myself and tell me oh that was not an IS. Looks also good from the Mazda, have always only externally examined him when driving by. Now comes the off-road car of Mazda and see there,the like Is the RX strong? BMW forbids Japanese or Chinese copies of the M5 and what does Lexus???
