I told Dukes that owning a lexus and even a Toyota has a lot of intangible factors that you take for granted. Things that if you came from another brand, would really make you think
Attention to detail:
My wife recently spilled some raw eggs in her RX. It got all over the passenger seat when she crushed them accidentally. She didn't realize this, so it sat baking in the hot sun for a whole day. You would think this yellow egg yolk would stain up the seats, or even the stitching on the seats, as that thread is white in color
Im too lazy to go take a picture of her seat, but where the red stitching is, you can imagine white.
Anyways, we found out that even this, the thread used for these leather seats, are treated with anti staining coating. After some leather conditioner, its all gone and not a single stain. She's also left the driver door open on the ES, In the rain, soaking the entire night, and not a single one of those electronics has gone wrong. If the cars can survive her ownership, you know they are well built. You try doing that with a BMW or a Mercedes, or any Italian shit and it'll short circuit, catch fire and melt down the entire car.
Thats the attention to detail by Lexus.
Look at their TSB's (technical service bulletin) its often a joke. I think for my LC there are only 2 TSBs since 2017 when the car was initially released. One for brake squeal (free pads!!) and now one for backup camera condensation.
You go take a look at GM TSB's and they say shit like switch from 0w20 to 5w30 to prevent the engine from blowing up....
I said this to dukes today; that's why there is no meets for toyota/lexus owners. Whats there to meet about? shit never fails. (at least on the older JVIN cars)
