Sorry to see you feeling like this and I would probably do the same in your position and hopefully your next car (whatever it may be) will live a long life without any issues... Some of your generalizations are pretty amusing, though:

Reading these it is clear to me that you (maybe fortunately) haven't had enough of ownership experience of different car brands. We had several Lexus cars/models over the years, and in the past they WERE pretty reliable and felt extremely "solid" when driving them, however that was all in the past. Our last Lexus, first-year LS460, had perhaps more issues than any car we ever owned before, including interior lower B-pillars looking like a cat's scratch post after one year (there was TSB for that), replaced padding in front seat's cushions due to some plastic part of the seat feeling rather uncomfortable when using a certain size of butt
for seating (there was TSB for that), several adjustments to glove box compartment's locking mechanism which constantly created a half-inch gap between closed glove box door and the dashboard (there was TSB for that), pretty loud wind noise coming from the external mirrors' area during driving (multiple TSB's for that, was never resolved before the end of our lease), HomeLink transmitter being a bitch to program (there was TSB for that), fuel lines being replaced due to potential corrosion from certain types of fuel (there was TSB for that) and several other problems I can't really remember. And surely you wouldn't honestly think that current E-class Mercedes, with its awful exterior design which looks like something that was designed in Korea/China, can be really classified as "nice looking"? It looks much, MUCH worse than whatever BMW tried to do with E60's exterior design
So yea, generalizing car brands is not a good thing to do, as someone has already told you - every manufacturer has (and will always have) its set of issues, regardless of what "Consumer Reports", "J.D. Power" and other "random numbers"-generating publications might try to brainwash you with
