Their cars bore me to tears. If I was given an ultimatum and had to pick between being devoured by rabid jackals or driving a Prius/Corolla/Camry for the rest of my life, I think I would have a hard time choosing.

That's said, their manufacturing processes and improvement approaches (to the process, not product) are second to few. The works of Ohno, Shingo, Ishikawa and all those guys gave us excellent strategies and approaches to improving production in any industry. Kanban, 5 S, 5 Why, single minute die exchange's, Poke Yoke -- all came from Toyota...

Their cars suck though.

Agree. Their cars ard very plain but the simplicity seems to work. I also think the entire design dept at Lexus should be fired. The new IS exterior design is a step in the wrong direction and the only car their corporate grille looks good on is the GS and LS. The Acura ugly seems to have rubbed off on Lexus and that disappoints me.

while the accord sedan looks very conservative, i think it looks great.
