Why would anyone drop 90-100k on a TT v6 when they can get 750i or S550?

Design is subjective but reminds me a lot of Infiniti M / Q70 and Hyunday Genesis.
New Camry has same tailight shape !

Interior brings nothing new and touchpad sucks.
I disagree: Output for the Lexus is 415 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque, numbers that put this six-cylinder somewhat in the hunt with competitors’ V-8s, including the 449-hp Mercedes-Benz S550 and the 445-hp BMW 750i. I'm sure they know how to make engines with great refinement. And 0-60 in 4.5 secs means they know how to make them powerful too...

Biggest advance in their interior is the 24 inch HUD. No one is close to that...
