hahaha. i really do love my bimmer, but the new lexus gs is a great car as well. handling is amazing, fast (new engine for 07 has 303 hp) ..and the exterior/interior styling is top notch.

my dad just got it a month ago, and after driving the x5, he wanted it back haha. he was like, "this car is so solid and you feel really safe in it, its like a tank" ..his exact words lol. hmm, wonder what i would do if he offered me the GS.

think ill keep my ride

Prices of used ones in the states make things a little more accessible. Plus we have the whole pay whatever it takes mentality. When I was in high school the parking lot was filled with Jaguars, BMW, and MB's....and that was the student lot. Meanwhile the teachers lot had Hondas and Nissans. When you don't have to pay insurance, costs of living or gas with a higher power subsidizing your payment when you can't quite make it, life gets easier.
