Because Lexus and Mercedes are not equal companies. Imagine that I were to compare the Kia motor corporation to the Porsche motor corporation. Now if I were to compare the base models that each of those companies produced, the Rio and the Boxter, one is obviously better than the other, BUT THEY ARE BOTH THE BASE MODELS OF THE RESPECTIVE COMPANIES. They are equatable because of the position they fill in the companies lineup. Do you understand? Obviously, the 55 AMG is faster than the IS250, but they fill the same position in their respective companies: the sport model. If I were to compare Lexus to Mercedes in a luxary catagory, I would probably say the Lexus LS 430 vs the Mercedes S600. Are these cars of the same quality? Shit no, but they do fill the same roles in their respective companies: that of the top luxary model.

I'd also take the G35 over the IS or the C230. It's one of the best looking cars ever made, it's damn powerful, and it is larger.
