I'm not being funny mate but the Lexus has always been slated and I thought it was much more expensive than the Crossfire.
How much were the cars you were looking at?
As for the Crossfire being unreliable i've never heard that before.
I've had mine for 4 years and never had any problems.
When reading this forum you might disagree with me but that is because when someone has a problem they post about it but if it is running fine you don't hear about it.
At the end of the day it's up to you but I think that the Crossfire looks a lot better than the Lexus in fact for the money I don't think you can buy a better looking car.
I love my Crossfire and even though I've had it for 4 years I still turn round to look at every time I get out of it.
But as has just been posted it's not for everybody.
