| My uncle has a very limited edition Mercedes in Norway, but it doesn't have the model number on it. I don't know for sure what it is. I'm thinking like an S500, but I think he said they only made 100 or something. It has the sensors for parking so that you don't hit anything, cherrywood dash. It is sick. |

i'd take a bmw over mercedes any day...

Word.
BMW is a good car in general, and they usually don't look bad either imo. But the taillights on that one... I gotta agree. |

| looks too generic and not much different from a civic. I would much rather get the new Acura TL. |

| I love my Civic though. 4 door SI with LS-VTEC, SI suspension and brakes, and GSR Tranny and Axles. All from an LX too. My car used to suck royal ass. Now it's a pretty fun ride. I need to do my exhaust and get a cold air intake as well as paint the car, but it's coming along. I wanted to do the B20 conversion, but I don't wanna spend another $1000 for the block. |

if i had to chose a benz... CL55AMG all the way.
*edit* pic
i think the showy benzes are totally over priced...they lose like 15k in value as soon as you drive it off the lot, in my opinion.
my bf has a 2004 SL500, and he's had more problems with that thing than ...not like engine problems, but the interior and mechanical stuff. i was detailing it the other day, and when i was wiping down the head rest part of the seat w/ a leather wipe, all the stitching came lose and like part of the leather covering was hanging off...it clips right back in, but still, i was like what the ! $110k car...that should NOT be happening...his trunk acts up a lot too when clicking it open. it gets stuck and you have to click it like 3 times...and just little things like that, it's annoying. i think that car should only be about 80k.
his best friend has the 745Li, and i've driven it a few times (i love being designated driver when we go out drinking..lol) there's no comparison. i mean, the SL is more fun, and has plenty of power, but i just prefer the other one. that's me though.
*edit* neither can hang with this baby though:crazy:

New BMW: Kinda like the front actually, esp how it's similar to the new Audis (the hood scooping all the way forward, to the bottom-front).
Don't like the rear, esp the bumper - too big! Reminds me of a Maxima.
New Lexus: *BARF* |

My friend wanted to get an SL500, but he already has way too many speeding tickets as it is.
German automobiles are great, but they are so high maintenance. I had a 2000 A4 and there was a lot of upkeep on it. Turbo probably made it worse, but still. And, of course, my warranty expires and there's all sorts of I have to fix. Japanese cars are so much easier to maintain, and way cheaper to maintain as well. I'll take convenience and reliability over flash and status any day. |

Need more infos on the A4. It's the one car I've actually seriously considered purchasing. If you could make a short list of pros / cons and your overall opinion I'd much appreciate it :) |

I currently drive a BMW 5-series, but I would probably buy the new Maserati over a BMW.
edit: it seems that the newish Aston Martin Vanquish has been the most influential car in a generation.
