We've had 2 Lexus and they were/are far more reliable than either our BMW or MB and the statistics are proven to support this. I could give a rat's azz about the badge on the hood as you can see by my garage, but to suggest we should give the German manufacturers a pass because they can't figure out how to eliminate reliability issues is lame. Just so you're aware, +$60K vehicles shouldn't come with rattles and little issues.

I will say that our local BMW dealership has been hands down the best to deal with and that, to this point, they have done everything to resolve our issues. The dealer in Etown was average at best.
Exactly.

OP also fails to comment on the fact that Ferraris are almost never driven daily and many people gladly give them up because of the maintenance.
