Push to hard, like Lexus in this case, then they are excoriated for pushing the boundaries too far.
In my opinion, at least Lexus are providing something different to the sea of same same.

I think a lot has to do with either brand loyalty, if it's in the price range and things like that. I'm not in the market for one, haven't been waiting for the new model to arrive, and am not the biggest lexus fan. Back in the day dad had a Toyota cressida so I pigeon hole them as glorified Toyotas. I wasn't a fan of the look of the new stang, but it's grown on me mainly due to the badge. Still no b series to look at in my opinion, but I'm coming around.
