But drive a decent 6 cylinder NA car and tell me you would prefer the 220d?

Compare apples and bananas is not helping any.

Seems that some of the diesels from Lexus run well, have happy owners and if the engine was good in a Toyota, it should not be that bad in a Lexus.

In the Toyota I believe it was set up better as you could get an avensis into 6th at 35-40 mph. Compared to the 220d. Guess that’s why they did the change on the later Diesel engines and de tuned them. 
 

I was one of those lucky Lexus owners with an IS220d that didn’t have engine issues it was just bad on MPG for a diesel
