and made NPOV, as confirmed by the GA review and multiple discussions elsewhere. Nothing here is 'copied and pasted' from company brochures; in fact the vast majority of the statements made in this article come from journalistic and scholarly publications. Furthermore, I and others rewrote this article in response to earlier criticisms of NPOV and unreferencing (see archive). These changes were amply discussed and debated, and I find your current assertions highly partisan and questionable. And although you copied and pasted the "appropriate to split" details regarding

Far from 'garbage' and 'promotion', the statements in this article are fact-based and referenced, and are intended to be an encyclopaedic corporate profile of a luxury division, as should be.

possible that this user is responsible for the earlier vandalism to the Lexus article, which also was focused on nationalistic grounds.

just a comment on the pricing of Lexus cars. According the the article, Europeans don't much care for having luxury combined with "cut-rate pricing". If this reasoning is true, I find it ludicrous. All Lexus has to do is maybe add $ 5,000 worth of "luxury" to the cars and then jack the prices up $

Your claims might be more credible if you did not VANDALIZE the article, by removing references and then replacing them with "unreferenced" tags. If you had bothered to read the article, you would find those claims referenced in the lead or body. Furthermore, this article has been thoroughly vetted

According to my sources, the plural of Lexus is Lexus. There is no separate plural form of the word. And I should point out that there are many invented words...perhaps Xerox as an exmaple. In Lexus official literature (press releases, brochures), they only use the word 'Lexus' and no derivations

OK, I've just gone through all the pages that link to Lexus or any of the individual Lexus model pages and have cleaned everything up. The vast majority (~60 pages) already used the proper notation, and I fixed roughly 20 others. This scan would miss anything that isn't linked to either of those

Where does it say that BMW and MB don't focus on luxury? Who says that Lexus is considered entry-level to mid-level? It depends on which model you are talking about (the same goes for BMW and
Mercedes; Mercedese C-class vehicles are used as taxis in some parts of Europe). The article fairly notes

It says that Lexus focuses on luxury and BMW and
Mercedes does not. This is favored toward Lexus, as is many comments in the service section of this article. Also note that Lexus is considered entry-level to mid-level luxury and BMW / Mercedes vehicles fall into the luxury segment. This article

The automotive engineer should not be so picky over how someone decides to spell out a model name. As far as i can see there are no spaces and this is from lexus themselves. What else could F1 relate to in the automotive world? Bit of a dumb question to me. Someone that does not know what marque

Ok, I did a rewrite/reformat/copy edit of this article, in an attempt to remove the rather blatant pro-Lexus marketing language that most of the article consisted of. Note that I removed almost no information, just the glowing praise and POV wording.

The statment that Lexus is one of the three finest automakers in the world is highly arbitary and opinionated. Maserati, Bentley, Cadillac or
Lincoln owners might beg to differ. The statment was removed since it was POV and not encyclopedia material.

I don't think any of these statements (and there are many others) should be in an encyclopedia article, and I am replacing the NPOV tag in hopes that someone more knowledgeable than I can source, reword, or delete these claims as appropriate.

I Am an Automotive engineer & I dont agree with the statment of "Nothing compares to a lexus automobile" I think its a biased statement, what is the base for such statement???
