2011 Lexus "The Hard Way" - Evaluation Elevated

Why scrutinize the scrutinizers? When you're building a Lexus, even a single flaw is one too many. See how Lexus takes the hard way in certifying our inspectors.

Take notes GM, Ford, and Chrysler!! This is how you become a top car company!

@blane237 Older Lexus was better then their newer offerings. Also I've had exceptional luck with domestic offerings, and nothing but bad with most of my imports. I also am not a fanboy of anything. I think it's ridiculous to be one for companies that could give a shit about you. One of the only cars to give me any satisfaction is a 1993 Lexus LS400 with now almost 900,000 miles, and you still can't hear the engine. Best cars ever made.

@PUNKem733 Like you said, that was in the past. While the competition moved forward they stayed put and thats why they are no longer a top car company.

[PUNKem733]

@utahgs Actually they were already top car companies at differing times in the past without all this.

That's funny, I have a '99 Lexus, paint still hasn't chipped. Take yours to the dealership, have them look at it.

@bruceyung70 Oh, I probably exaggerated about "every signle one" - generally was referring to 2006-2011 range :) We have two GS bought new from the dealership in europe. Both cars had this problem after about 5k miles. I have noticed that it actually reacts to weather changes too, since in hot hot summer and cold-cold winter everything seems fine, and when it's about 0-15 C it goes crazy from time to time. Had it seviced twice for my car and once for the other one. It's okay for now :) thanx.

@glamprom I bought an 2002 GS3 from a neighbor and the car has been in on frontal collision accident and it has combat scars to prove it below the newly painted panels, having said that, i don't hear any squeeks on mine yet. Only squeeks I do hear often is when I change the gear from park to drive and I hear brake pad making noise which sucks. I think you are kinda over exaggerating it but I could be wrong. Oh, I almost forgot to mention GS is a pig when it comes to fuel sipping...

@jdmek04 Ignorant Person! To Certify: Officially recognize (someone or something) as possessing certain qualifications or meeting certain standards

How do you certify standards? Are even remotely involved with aviation? I don't think so. Pilots have the written and Sim exams every six months and their licences are signed and CERTIFIED by an FAA/CAA Examiner.

Go play with your PSP...

[acarab01]

we all get bored at our jobs i know no lexus worker cares that much as long as they get paid

[AgiosAdelfos]

Get your facts right. Pilots undergo full Simulator exams EVERY SIX MONTHS!
