I think the brand is slowly shedding that image it's had for many years.

While the LFA was pretty ridiculous w/ it's V10 screamer, carbon fiber weave, and astronomical price-tag, the IS-F, FR S/86, and GS350 F sport are starting to turn the wheels in the right direction. I believe that even the next gen. Corolla and Camry will be much better driving cars.

their slogan is pretty fitting: The Pursuit of Perfection

I agree with this too...

At the same time, I will say I'm biased towards Lexus/Toyota.
I own an ISF as well... It's got about the same miles as the 370Z... Both are driven REALLY hard, the ISF maybe more, because the smile of flooring it and hearing that roar is intoxicating... Only problem it's had... A $1400 brake job...
The 370Z... Problem after problem...

I'm glad I bought the warranty on the Nissan, I'm glad I didn't waste my money on the warranty on the Lexus.
