What is that thing about Lexus which makes their customer "Brand Loyal" and cult followers?
Thanks for the answer.Reliability and customer satisfaction. I've never had a problem with a Lexus and I've had three and never had an issue going to the dealer. Extremely helpful and customer orienated and they seem to really care about you. That's why I'm loyal to Lexus. Other companies definitely make more fun to drive cars but the experience is what brings me back time and time again.

Thanks for a great answer. Can you please answer some of my more questions?22 year exclusive Lexus owner here, rabid fanboy and obviously my situation working in the industry is different that most, ..here are a few things I've noticed for me;
1. I always liked how they look. Probably shocking to some people who think Lexus is or was stale.
2. Quality and Reliability second to none.
3. Lovely interiors in most cases
4. Perceived Prestige/Brand Power. I do like owing a "Lexus".
5. Handling Ride in Most Cases
* I forgot, great STEREOS. Lexus has always had great optional systems. This is a MUST!
Then I would add when I started getting very involved as a Lexus "Enthusiast"
6. Available parts to modify my Lexus
7. Nice group of owners (in most cases hahaha)
8. Great dealership experiences in most cases. This keeps me coming back.
9. Better Ride and Handling and more originality with mods. You would be surprised how many other brands can't really be modified.
Then I would say as I got older
7. Adding new tech. Hybrids like my old 450h.
8. Adding new SUVs... Our RX's. the LX... When we needed more space Lexus grew
9. Growing F brand.... Great to see Lexus participate in this rare realm of cars.
10. Lexus employees. An AMAZING bunch of people, many now good friends. Some are the most amazing people you would meet.
11. Safety. They are very safe cars. Something that I want now with a family more than ever.
Today
12. The Lexus Enthusiast Site and other owner enthusiasts. I love it here and the people I've continued to meet. Its great to know and hang around like minded enthusiasts.
13. New products. The LC is fantatic. The LS seems amazing. Even the GS F is one of the best driving cars I've been behind.
14. The new look. I like the bold new Lexus inside and out.
15. The sound. Yes the V-8 sound is great.
16. The drive, ride, handling. To me all greatly improved.
17. Again Lexus Employees and many at the Dealership Level. Amazing people I trust.
I know the time will come that I will simply buy another brand (I experience them near daily and there are some AMAZING cars out there) but Lexus has a special place in my heart, likely forever.
Is there any reason which is related to the aesthetics of Lexus?
I suggest that there are very few brands that can offer all that AND Lexus' "dead stick" reliability and quality.

Seconded. When I got my first Lexus (GS300) in '02, I was subscribed to Stereophile magazine and they rated the 3LS's Mark Levinson system the best factory stereo available in any car at any price. The ML in the GS at that time wasn't bad either. The Mark Levinson systems are one Lexus' best secret weapons, and I don't know why they don't promote them as much now (e.g. lexusmarklevinson.com used to exist and promote those systems).
I listened to the premium sound system in the 97 ES and it was so clear and crispIndeed. It might be something people sleep on but the optional systems dating back to the old Nakamichi ones were awesome. Even in the 1990s the base systems were good (I can't really say that today).
Like you I am very fond of Lexus sound systems.
