  • Marketing them costs money as well, but you can't expect someone to feel guilty ever time they buy a mass-produced car not made by Henry Ford.

    If somebody without much imagination does the idea better for less money they force the inventors to come up with something new to stay competitive.

    It's how the world moved past the Model T.

    As a consumer, higher quantities of a better product for a lower price outweighs any badge snobbery.

    Plus I prefer the shop-brand Coke we get here. =P

  • @Strike86 Its cheaper because when you copy something you dont need to spend the money necessary researching and developing........

    that is just the most ignorant statment guy.....

    Ever notice how usually its the inventors of the product that are usually the most expensive....

    because it costs money to invent it....

    Its why Coke will always be more expensive then Store brand- Cola

  • @Howie262 True.

    The Japanese never have been amazing at coming up with new designs, but recently they have been getting a lot better at it.

    I personally don't have a problem with copying others' ideas as long they improve it in some way, or make it cheaper (which they usually do) - and this car is a good example of that. It beat all of its contemporaries hands down, all things considered.

  • @Strike86 Yeah you may be right about those features, but the bottom line is i see the japanese doing it way too much. And its not just cars either.....

    You can look at japanese weapons and technologies too.

    I mean sometimes its comical. You'll look at a certain Japanese pistol or rifle and say.... Really ? bro You really copied a luger or a Mauser ? really?

    So yes, there might be borrowing ideas mutually among car companies, but i see the Koreans and japanese steel way too much.

  • @Howie262 Does copying something make it any less good?

    I doubt Bosch invented the cordless power drill, but their drills are still better than most other people's.

    Car companies steal ideas all the time.

    Mercedes' radar-guided cruise control was invented by Mitsubishi. The quad oval headlights the were a Mercedes trademark were done first by the '91 Toyota Aristo (Lexus GS).

    And look at how fast that LED running light thing caught on among the German companies.

    No shame in copying good ideas.

  • @Strike86 Lexus is one of the most sleezy brands i can think of. All the coppying they do is just astonishing when they claim to be their own technology.

    Theres only a few brands worse then lexus when it comes to this..... Hyundai, Kia etc......

  • @Howie262 When this car first came out air conditioning wasn't even standard equipment on a BMW, Mercedes, Audi or Jaguar - all of which cost two or three thousand dollars more. And it was faster, quiter and better engineered than all of them.

    A badge does not make one car any better than another - the CAR does.

  • ピントくらい合わせようよ。

  • over priced toyota, coppied mercedes.

    When will people get it....... Lexus is not cool, nor will ever be classy.

  • Love the car.......but too bad the camera is from 1953.
