Personally, I think reliability ratings are about as accurate as farmer's almanacs. They show a general trend, but every automaker produces lemons. Lexus has a good general trend for sure... but with Japanese cars, even today, when it rains, it pours. I think someone mentioned 30-40% more expense than a domestic, and that sounds about right. Plus, with a Lexus, you're really paying double for a fully-loaded Toyota with an L, ditto with Acura and Infiniti.
