I own a lexus. I had extremely poor customer service experiences in az.
The turning radius is poor. The door locks and computer have gone out.
The cd player makes a clicking sound too. Corporate did not help at all
with acheiving a pleasant customer service experience. I will not by another
Lexus. My dad and sister in law have them and will not be buying another
in the future again due to customer service that is not what we would expect
from a midrange priced car.

Can you elaborate on that a bit more? I'm interested in why you think that it's a stupid car.

As another asked, why would you think this is a "stupid" car?

From what I have seen (the pictures and tech facts) it appears to be a really luxury car)

It's absurdly expensive for what it purports to accomplish.

It's in the same price range as the big BMW / Mercedes

100K is not that outrageous today (for a large luxury car)

Well, stack it up against, say, a Mercedes CLS550. The Mercedes has less horsepower (380) but posts better performance numbers with it, gets only 2mpg less combined, and costs about 20 grand less.

Don't you think that the LS was intended to stack up against the S rather than the CLS?

The base price of an S550 is still 20 grand less than that of a 600h. How 'bout an Audi S8 for 15 grand less?
