Lexus
The Japanese Mercedes... or are they? The former leader in Asian luxury has been dethroned to second place following Genesis' assault on both the SUV and sedan markets, crucial for luxury brands these days, with stunning exteriors and interiors. Lexus still is capable of producing nice cars, as their LS and LC flagship offerings show, and their new 2022 NX is definitely going to give the Jaguar F-PACE and Mercedes-Benz GLC a run for their money, but no amount of exterior changes hides the fact that the IS is outdated as hell and we didn't even mention the LX and GX, which are dinosaurs at this point. At least they got rid of the touchpad. Their interiors are high quality but could use slight improvement. Lexus, I love you but y'all have a lot of work to do to be the Japanese Mercedes again.
