Interestingly enough, there IS no Lexus in Japan. Nor is there an Infiniti, nor is there an Acura. These "Japanese Premium Brands" were created only for the non-Japanese market who would scoff at the idea of paying $75k for a Toyota! So you can get what is to us a Lexus GS430 in Japan branded as a Toyota Aristo. Actually, Toyota is just now planning to introduce Lexus into their home market.
Ever wonder why on the other side of the pond, they call it the Honda NSX, not the Acura NSX?
