Agreed. There is an LS430 that usually parks near me where I work. I'll park beside him in my E430 and compare them. It's a big car, with bigger stock wheels (something Mercedes has only recently upped their ante on, finally).
I also noticed the interior of the Lexus is more sumptuous. Not sure what year/options this one has, but it has a wood and leather wheel (should be standard on Mercedes) and other wood/leather appointments inside that make my E430 somewhat more utilitarian looking.
Overall, however, I prefer the look of my Mercedes, especially the front! To me, the headlights of the Lexus betray its origins!
