With the exception of the RX330 and the IS300, I don't think that Lexus brand vehicles' body styles have been all that hot over the years. Even through the 2003 MY. Although I do own a Lexus and love it dearly, I personally feel as though the company seriously needs to address their exterior styling. The same goes for the Toyota brand vehicles as well. I think that as a general rule Asian vehicles have better overall initial quality and downstream reliability than both German and American cars. But to me, the German and American car companies' automobiles have superior body styling on average. There are certainly exceptions to this statement. That is true. But for a company that designs and manufactures such expensive cars and SUVs, Lexus could and SHOULD do a whole lot better with their body styles. They have the quality thing down. I am convinced of that. But they are going to start losing even more sedan sales than they already have if they don't come out with some extremely awesome-looking cars pretty soon. It seems as though the company is relying too heavily on SUV sales at the moment.
