Lexus paints their leather (not dyed like Audi)  
Lexus paints their wood on metal inlays to make it look purdy (not real wood like Audi)  
Lexus doesn’t reinforce their dash with polymer molding to give it a firm feel and reduce noise and prevent warping over time (like Audi)  
Lexus uses stamped steel hinges on their doors/trunk/hood (Audi uses forged billet pieces)

So I guess the question is, wtf are you looking at and/or touching?

I have driven Boxsters before and was on the fence on interior trim while I drove and old 951 and was impressed for its time. So far I have not found a car with a more quality substantial feeling interior than the lexus sc430.
