I went the other way from Lexus to German/Italian.

Lexus used to be the move — but the new gen has none of those advantages.
• NX has that hybrid cable issue ($4k fix? seriously?)
• RX shrank and that 2.4T is going to rattle the car apart
• IS is missing tech you’d expect in a Camry
• ES is still a retirement home on wheels

At this point, a B48/58 + ZF8 BMW is a 10 year reliability record. And if you care more about comfort and efficiency, just give me an MB EQ-series and call it a day.
