If you have ever owned a Benz or multiple Benzs and seen how their cars do look prettier but their quality is just sad now and yes, you can get a AMG with 600hp but most people don't even have a 300hp E500 well, their priorites are all messed up.
Lexus for me.
Lexus for me.

IS300 looks like a damn beefed up corolla, tiny car for 32k. Sorry, when im 65 maybe their cars will appeal to me =D
RSX as an acura (atleast the new version looks closer in relation to its civic twin
TSX.. great car... in a honda badge. FWD I4 does not belong in a "luxury" brand's sportsedan category
TL squarebox version of accord that torque steers
new RL.. generic camry styling on outside, wicked AWD system but a 5spd auto...even the new ford 500 has 6spd..
MDX boatlike exterior styling, interior quality from the 90s, basically a last gen odyseey

This should have been a poll. 
Imho MB is WAAAAAAAY more desireable than Lexus. Take for instance the SL65. CL65. Mclaren. AMG 0wns.
Lexus is like an MB clone. Fugly, quiet, wood, leather.
Can't touch MB tho.
Forget all the JD Power sh!t polls. Forget the fact that the MB will spend more time in the shop than a Lexus. If you got moolah, you ain't looking at Lexus. You go for the MB. Or Maybach. Or Bentley.
Watch the new S and CL when they come out. Should 0wn.
CLS is sweet too. CLS55. E55. Come on. What has Lexus to offer? A numb overweight LS430? A dated GS? OOH, don't tell me, hybrid. Get over it. If you can afford a Lexus, you sholuld be able to afford gas.
Antimatter - now there's a pure power source. Heh..

Funny thing is that the "name" you're paying for is nothing more than an overpriced Chrysler (maybe why reliability is sinking like the Titanic). BMW just screams "arrogance" (their reliability has dropped as well). If I had to choose between the two, it would definitely be Lexus (excellent cust. service and reliability), but that being said, I'm really happy with my Acuras, and plan on buying another.

I just bought a Lexus...so i say Lex.
But being realistic....Benz is the better overall brand imo..with all things considered.
the Sl55 is my favorite car ever.
