No matter what the japanese manufacturers are doing, they are lacking when it comes to interior refinement and design overall. They still have no elegance what so ever.
Here in Europe Toyota sells a lot of cars since the are cheap, but when Toyota thinks they can take BMW money for their cheaply built products, they don't sell any cars.
I would never ever consider a Lexus for BMW money. I would in fact prefer one of the newer Jeep Grand Cherokees or whatever.
Edit: I just looked at the swedish price list and the cheapest GS450 is, cough cough 18000$ more than a faster 535i?

The reason why Lexus has strong sales in US is because of reliability and better standard equipment. Many Americans read magazines like Consumer Report which tend to criticize Germans a lot for reliability issues.
