Can’t comment on the Lexus but we did pick up a new Rav4 a couple of weeks ago after a six month wait, only a couple of weeks of which were due to covid. Demand is sky high for these at the moment and I think the waiting lists could be even longer now. It’s a real improvement over the previous version we had, looks better, feels bigger and fuel economy seems somewhat improved.
When looking for a second hand second car in January the choice came down to a Mercedes C Class, BMW 3, Lexus IS or Jag XE. Ended up with the Jag as the German cars bored me and the Lexus just seemed too much like a Toyota with a few cosmetic improvements, but not enough to justify the price.
