I missed this originally, and I think its pretty silly. The Lexus LS cars are superior in nearly every way to their overly-complex German rivals. iDrive? Worst implementation of a multi-menu system ever. Don't even get me started on Mercedes' build quality lately. Piss-poor. There's a reason why Lexus is and has been the #1 selling luxury brand in North America for 6 years running (source: http://www.aiada.org/article.asp?id=55507).

The only thing the Germans have going for them is perceived superiority and V12 engines, of which very, very few vehicles sold have them. I've only ever seen one BMW 750/760 on the road in all my years. The rest are 740is and 745is. 90% of S-Classes I see are S430s. Rarely do I see an S500, and never an S600.

i'm not even trying to compare gadgetery... i'm comparing percieved luxury. Japanese luxury has nothing on European luxury.

I don't even know if Japanese luxury exist.

Take that, Benzo.

that car would be a really cool 1996 concept car.

It also appears to have a little bit of a "Bangle-Boot" on it too. Hmm.

^^ im actually quit fond of this look. it appeals to me. i find it interesting, i enjoy the interior's look/style and the backend i just love. id waste my money on it.

word.

it seems like the great designers gave up their seats to some kids or something?

even the new mercedes/bmws look like some candy raver designed them while on drugs, with all these futuristic-looking shapes that are just taking away from the car's appeal...

is it just me, or is THIS the last great looking car I have seen in the last few years (2004 BMW M3):

P.S. - I'd take a 2006 Audi S4 over any of the cars mentioned in this thread so far, aside from the M3 above.
