Yes you mentioned sportiness as your most important value in a car, but I think you wouldn't buy BMW if it looks ugly to you. Same as Lexus owners, if their vehicles are not super stylish in their eyes they wouldn't buy them. You were describing the Lexus vehicles in general, not any individual model, which I found unacceptable and very very biased. Sure I agree that some BMW models, such as 3 coupe and X5 and X6 and 5 are very very good looking cars, but so are Lexus LS, IS, and RX. And I found 3 sedan, Z4, 6, 7 and X3 not that attractive, as well as Lexus SC, GS and GX. Every car company has something good looking but some failures as well.

You don't have to tell me something I already know.
First of all, I did say that in
my opinion, I think all
current Lexus models (and yes, I do mean all) look like molded bars of soap to me. I'm not saying that they're ugly, I'm just saying that
I don't like their overall design language.
You're right, I probably wouldn't buy a car that I found ugly. You can't place a tangible value on how you feel about the looks of a car.
I happen to like Bangle/Adrian van Hooydonk's styling. Yes, there have been failures failures, like the X3 and the pre-facelift 5/7 and the new 1er, but I love the rest of the models.
Now, in
my opinion, I don't find a single current Lexus model all that appealing, except I do find the rear of the LS better than the rest.
I never said that
everyone has to buy a BMW. I hardly have any brand loyalty whatsoever. Read my past posts if you want. If a manufacturer happens to make a car I like, then hell, I'd love to see it and maybe want to buy it. I just happen to like BMW cars for their qualities: a demeanor that's sportier than most of its competitors, their spartan interiors, their styling, and the overall experience I enjoy driving them. Many people don't like those things, and good for them. They can buy another make.
And in regards to the part of my quoting you that has been boldened, where did that come from? Of course I place reliability and dealer service as a top priority as well, but you don't know me so don't make any assumptions. It's an ignorant thing to do.
