yes, Lexus enjoys excellent brand equity here in India [most people don't know it's a Toyota :lol]
You bet! The opportunity to own a high-value brand without annoying reliability issues or the high ownership costs of German cars will be lapped up by our market. Even the Indian customer who owns a 50 lakh Benz does care about fuel and upkeep costs.

They say that the LS is far more refined / comfortable than the S / 7 / A8. Why? Simply because it has no sporty pretentions, thus does not need to focus on handling prowess. Comfort is of paramount importance.

Perhaps some price adjustment of Camry or assembling Lexus in India or duty cuts by the Govt.
Agreed. Toyota are well aware of the growth in the D-segment. Its only a matter of time before they start local assembly of the Camry.
