Lexus make good cars, but they are pretty bland. Swap the badge for another jap brand and you wouldnt notice. The German stuff is more distinctive and much more obviously a premium product IMO.

I been in my friends Lexus IS250 and I have to say, Lexus has moved the game on in terms of build quality, materials used and engineering. Much better than my BMW and my last Audi. The shut lines of the doors etc of the Lexus make the german marques look like canyons. I can't comment on the driving experience since I haven't driven it, but as a passenger, very refined indeed.

As long as you do know that Arnie is Austrian 
LEXUS ownership experience pi$$es all over the german ones. The dealers, on the whole, are fantastic. My uncle has a GS430 (fantastically built) and the dealers drive to his house, give him an equivalent or better courtesy car (full of petrol, can use as much as he wants), service his car (warranty stuff, not that anything has broken, only one thing that he didn't even know about is sorted no quibbles), bring back his car to his house and ring a week later to make sure everything with his car is a-ok.
Lexus are the best quality (car + dealer) brand in the world easily. They laugh at the germans. Oh and I drive an Audi, couldn't afford the Lexus GS as they hold their value better so none in my price range.
