what i'm trying to say is not everyboy prefer bmw, merc, or porsche even if they have the money to buy one. this is the reason why you see quite a few lexus around and their lux market share is pretty good.
Great point. It's also what keeps companies like Jaguar in business. Some folks could care less about sportiness, and vastly prefer opulence and cushiness. Plus there will always be a douche factor to the German brands, and Lexus (and oddly, now Hyundai) don't share that, they're more of the "everyman" sort of car, even when they're not priced like it.
