Acura is no Honda and the Lexus is no Toyota. I know I have had both. Maybe back in the late eighties or early ninties when these first came out but I gotta tell ya. They drive. I miss the smoothness of the Lexus on the highway, but the X5 give me better road feel. That took a bit to get used to have not feeling anything for four years because is is so smooth. The X5 seems to attack the road where as the Lexus glides you over it.

Oh yeah....picked up the latest Car and Driver yesterday...the new TL beats the new 330ci in the 1/4 mile.....by .01 of a second....hahaha....I tell my wife all the time it is too much car for her.

At the end of the day I have love for all cars. If I ever have the means I will have a hand full.
I'm just giving you crap, Roc. It IS a nice car... just not my cup of tea. I just feel like Lexus cars don't have a soul. The completely insulate the driver from the road and the environment. Some (actually, MANY) people love that: the quiet, smooth ride. Don't take it to heart, man. I'm just ribbing 'ya. If anything, you're more open-minded than I am when it comes to cars, and that's a good thing.
