lexus-bmw

[E30 Wagen]

I'm still liking the BMW better; its lines lend it a style more appropriate to a sport sedan which is what we all love about BMWs. I still find it a tad over-designed, but at least more progressive than what Toyota, Lexus, and Honda are doing.

[blueapplesoda]

yeah well VW and alot of their Golf drivers feel that they are equal to the 3-series

GHAHAA

That auto-park thing is cool, but fucking retarded. Number one, LEARN TO FUCKING DRIVE. There is too much pandering to people who suck at life nowadays. It's like pedestrian-friendly bumpers... wtf mates? GET OUTTA THE STREET THEN. Number two, yeah that's a total copy. It's still kinda pretty though.

GHAHAA

Come again..

[wRek]

I think they're both kinda ugly. I'd much rather have this...

Are you telling people to never cross the street again?

Next time I see you in the street I'm gonna take out your knee caps with my regular bumpers.

I'm gonna go around to the new Lexuses and put clear tape over their parking sensors. :D


On a more on topic note I still prefer the BMW. Lexus copies and basically makes their cars so proportionally perfect that they bore me. That and driving BMWs is far superior than that of a Lexus.

[joshh]

BMW's are starting to get uglier and uglier.

It pains me to say it, but lexus do a better looking E60 than BMW do.

It doesnt pain me to say the exact same thing. BMW is making japanese cars, not the other way around.

Exactly. Most enthusiasts squak about how Lexus copied BMW and Mercedes, but Lexus sells more LS sedans than BMW sells 7 series or Mercedes sells S classes. I admit that Lexus styling is boring (although the new LS is pretty hot), but you can't argue with their engineering or quality. BMW and especially Mercedes have been copying Lexus since the mid-90s, and they'll continue to do so because Lexus sells a lot of cars.

The days of the true German cars like the E30 or the Mercedes W124 are gone, because BMW and Mercedes make fancy Camrys. At least BMWs still drive well--you can't say much of anything for any Mercedes except for the SL.

I would rather have an E39.

Exactley. You could buy an E39 and bolt on a Dinan S3 kit for the price of that garbage. Old BMWs or nothing. I'm sure the new M3 will be vicious as all hell, but it'll also be fuckin painfully ugly.

[herragge]

Without introducing the E39 in the mix, ( I would still choose the Lexus anyway), I would choose the LS. Lexus has got the formula down lately and are making extremly brilliant cars. Reliability of course is at the top and the build quality is excellent; my dad has two lexus', and the addition of the amount of problems they have both had is equal to= 1.

LS is the shit, and for all of you haters that don't like the auto parallel park; I mean cmon, I'm sure there isn't going to be a whole shit load of owners buying the LS and eliminating the competition just because of that option. Its an amenity yes, but imo I don't think it will be the deal-sealer.

With lexus getting the right idea with their new engines, they are going to be a very strong brand in the future.

PS: was invited to the opening house of the LS in Canada...aside from seeing the car, hordeourves (sp?) will be sweet ass!

Nahhhh, it's made by VW, it's broken down and he's looking for a different car in the paper.
