Lexus demands to be mentioned with MB, BMW, and AUDI

Funny you say that, Audit really started to take off back in the early 00's when VW was pumping out crazy numbers on their MKIV Golf platform, that was the peak of parts sharing and all that, MB even took an L w/ the Chrysler merger and the shyt cars that they made back then as well.
Audi's always been a brand with its own models though (albeit owned by VW, even back in the early 90's there was Porsche parts on Audi's and VW's
), dating back to the 80's, but if you Audi money back in the 80's, you were really doing something. But they were always driven by technology. Quattro from their racing background really separated them. That's what it'll take for Lexus to come through.And I will agree, I love my 2.0T in my GTI, but an A5 is far too heavy of a car for that engine. And I would say that the 1st and 2nd Gen IS is one of my favorite cars, along w/ the 1st and 2nd Gen GS. Lexus is known for reliability, quiet and resale, that's their place until they can prove otherwise.

What do you mean by come through? Lexus has been one of the top selling if not the top selling luxury brand for almost 20 years now.
Meaning to be mentioned in the likes of the Germans for driving performance. They sell, and they're great at it, I'll give them that. But in the same that a Camry is an appliance car, Lexus is the appliance car of the luxury world. There's nothing wrong w/ that at all, I'd love to get my hands on a used LS430.
Similar? Or the same. I'm not talking about generic parts like nuts, bolts, wires, fuses, and relays.
Same. I'm talking about key fobs and switches in the actual interior. The Flying Spur uses the same sunroof knob youd find in a base Jetta. :dahellstunna:
They've done a good job of making it seem like the cars don't share platforms but you know a VW car when you sit in it. That's not necessarily a bad thing but they do share parts.
I will say this positive thing about the Lexus, I like the dead pedal plate. Looks balls.

You must be new.
Check out the past threads in the "show room" catergory and then try to say I don't know what I'm talking about. Check my history on clublexus and audizine and come back and tell me idk what I'm talking about.
I drive cars for a living son.
I'll let it slide this time but remember...

2013 Lexus GS 350 > 2013 BMW 528i/Audi A6/MB E-350
The only thing the Lexus doesn't have the upper hand in is exterior design and thats only against the bimmer. Not a knock on the GS though, because that car still looks amazing. Besides, its been mentioned before but the Lexus has a big edge in durability and its reliable af. your a fool if you still aren't buying into this lexus hype
