Lexus Losing Out

[Gunther]

I know this is more Fleet orientated. But Lexus dealers now come 11th by Fleet companies, beaten this year by Ford too

and they don't appear to make it into the top 10 reliability index either

I have posted this here as most Lexus leases will be IS220d's. But. I have also been reading the Engine and Transmission section on the forum and so many cars appear to be suffering with issues again.

I know this is bad news, but I am genuinely sad if this is true!

I have to say although slightly unfounded I do get the "slight" impression Lexus have followed in MB footsteps with latest cars being less reliable than their older ones. I must admit I was put off buying an RX400 by the number of complaints of the cars just not starting because of Battery problems.

Still think they are way up there ahead of most though, just hoping they bring their game back up to the levels it was 3-4 years ago.
