Right but that's not really a relevant point for Lexus themselves since they no longer make these cars...

As a side note - my family had 3 Lexus -

2006 GS300 - Very slow transmission for the type of car it was, terribly setup traction control system, infotainment system that was terrible, and had a paltry 245 hp

2003 Gx470 - dash completely cracked from the sun, had intense leather and interior wear and when driving bounced up and down like no tomorrow also very poorly setup Stability Control system (to the point it was dangerous in the rain)

2013 Rx350 - FWD (model)... borderline undriveable in the rain, had a shock failure, again incredible interior wear

After all that, they got a 2021 X3 30i... and it is incredible how much of a better driving car in every way that was than any of the above... better engine, tranny, interior fit and wear and infotainment system on another level...

the point I am trying to make here is, yes Lexus may have better reliability but it comes at the cost of a subpar overall car... people need to weigh that correctly... that being said, all of ours had issues
