Big Confusion

Is there a website that compares all of the luxury cars. When I look at JP Powers site it is not too descriptive. I want to know whats going on between lexus, bmw, benz, acura, etc.
When I see rating between the M class jeep and RX lexus jeep, just by looking at the Benz looks more powerful. The tires are bigger and wider, the towing power is stronger etc, yet lexus jeep owners are more satisfied! Are lexus owners more satisfied because they have less expecations from their car than benz owners????
I read that article that is floating around about the Benz dropping in quality since late 90's, and now I am really considering selling my benz since it has no problems yet, but is a ticking bomb ready to be full of problems, especially rust!! I dont want to deal with it. I reallly dislike lexus, acura, and infinity because I dont find them as being original in designs, especially lexus gs. It urks me, but it seems that I may go that way!!! I need some soothing words guys.
The other car that I like is Audi, and Audi itself is not a reliable car either. I dont like much bmw because almost everyone has it now.
Is Japanese the only way to go these days??

Lot of good info at Cars Direct . Even if you don't buy from them, they have a lot of good comparison info on almost anything you'd be interested in.

What's wrong with Infiniti? I love them especially the FX45. It's so modern and futuristic design. Most of all, they have the sweetest engine and very reliable. Not to mention, aplenty of horsepower. I haven't had any problem wtih my E320 yet, knock on wood, but since you live in the NE states, that's prone to rusting.
