Lexus seems to be turning into Toyota's Acura rather than Toyota's competitor to the German luxury brands in that they are increasingly just dressed up Toyota's (TX, ES, NX, RX, UX). Considering how much more volume they sell I'm surprised/disappointed that they don't have the R&D money to build out more products that are competitive with the Germans. Maybe they just don't want to and are choosing a different niche but it seems awfully unambitious for a company like Toyota.
I get Honda not investing in Acura but I don't get Toyota not investing in Lexus.
