But it needs some kinda reliability. Driving around in an overated POS like Audi is meaningless if it is constantly in the shop.

I’m on my third Audi and I’ve never had problems. Very reliable.

Do you really buy a luxury car mostly for reliability though? It is pretty much like driving a rebranded Toyota in many cases. Just buy a top-of-the-line Toyota! The Lexus name isn't going to blow anyone away.
Lexus is high on the reliability scale but low on the luxury scale (compared to European counterparts anyway).

It's not about being able to afford the maintenance and repairs. It is also about avoiding all of the time suck and annoying PITA schedule rearranging you gotta do when the car needs to go into the shop. A lot of luxury euro brands score so low in reliability. Why do people tolerate that annoyance when you pay that much for those kinds of cars?

If I could afford a luxury car I would have a vintage Delahaye because I would also be able to afford an on-site mechanic.

This.

DH loves Audis

Who pays that kind of money for a car that needs oil once a month and they fixed a recall by putting a ziplock bag over a part so kids won’t spill drinks on the part which is a major part of how the car runs.

Q5 2022 Within first 8 month Audi replaces all four tires. I drove it to Lexus that day and bought an RX,

Audi was a beautiful car and when it drove like a dream, when they work.

Yes I am still married.
DH now has a Lexus as well. You see I am normally frugal. He is not so he knew not to say a word.

My husband researched around and Mercedes is continually coming out at top of the luxury brands.
However I think its maintenance is very pricey.

I have loved every Lexus I’ve owned.

Porsche. Do that instead.

Who wants a maxi pad on their grill?

Is not

Lexus is. It a luxury brand.

Luxury cars are also about personal preferences.

I cannot stomach their somewhat grotesque appearance however the Toyota underpinnings are reliable.
