I too agree, but my main point was to show that RR was its own name and brand before BMW took over. The RR name and brand still sticks like glue to RR, even though it has many BMW components, an almost guaranteed outcome when one brand buys out another.
On the Lexus' hand, being invented by Toyota, has a Toyota mindset from the very beginning. No way out of it and although Lexus has been known as Lexus, it is widely known as Toyota Lexus, a stigma that will never come unstuck, even if Lexus becomes a wholly independent company of its own.
Lamborghini has always been known as that, even when owned by Chrysler, and others, including Audi. Anyway, who would dare call a Lamborghini an Audi?
Lexus' roots are Toyota, RR's roots are RR from day 1. So, to answer your initial question, RR is RR, Lexus is Toyota.
Glad you agree. Cheers.
