I dislike Lexus for the same reason I dislike H-2's. They are the ultimate posseur status symbol. Escalades and (insert any high prices SUV here) are right there with them.

I remember in my younger more impressionable years, an uncle bought a Lexus. He was so proud of it, he drove it to Florida instead of flying to show it off. I came to the same function in a Jaguar knowing what he was up to. You could see his eyes get big when it pulled into the parking lot and realized it was his 24 year old nephew driving. What he didn't know is a client of our company owned a used car lot and let me borrow the Jag for the weekend. This same client was trying to get me to buy his Mazerati Bi-Turbo it came with a spare car too. I kick myself for passing on that one.

I have never liked Toyota cars or Lexus cars. The only Toyota I like is their truck line. Camry's bore me and the coparable Lexus line is the same. I have owned Hondas over the years, awesome, boring cars. Great if you are looking for a rpoblem free ride and do not care what you drive.

Legion - I have Autocrossed a S2000, I traded rides with with owner so he could take my RX-7 for a spin. The S2000 handles amazingly well I would compare it to an RX-8. It is very tossable, once you trust it. The sheer lack of torque and power below 4000 RPM's makes for a difficult car to go fast in. You have tyo rev the piss out of it to make it move. I thought I had taken off in 3rd gear in that S2000, it just does not want to move.
