Whatever. The Lexus "White Glove Testers" wont even drive the car past 75mph, I guess they dont want the oil to overheat, and the engine to shake too hard huh.

That's rubbish Xerokool. When I ordered my CL my dealer offered me free trips to the factory where they build my car and he explained the testing methods they use before the car is shipped. And those don't include 155 mph driving or other extreme stuff.

Well just as you said, European cars are made to be driven hard and wont be broken in until about 9,000 miles, unlike the japanese car which wont even make it to 155mph and is broken in at 1000 miles. Now STOP deboosting me just because you know im right.

Boy you all are a bunch of lame posters! I drive a BMW but I do appreciate the efforts Toyota makes to quality. Because all it can do is better all car companies that strive to build the best. I think it is neat what they do there.

Very very impressive... yet it's not different from the Germans. You should see how the S-class/CL is made. Or the Phaeton. Or the A8 (they actually have people there that smell the car), ...

The "Lexus Workers" look so unhappy and miserable like the midgets from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, I wouldnt be surprised if they sing Oompah-Loompah, Doopity do...
