While they have similar body lines, you could say the same for a lot of cars. MB CLS looks like a Toyota not a MBZ. |
Which toyota?
And also those are two different brands, Ferrari and Maserati are practically the same company. I don't know how they intend to price that new Ferrari but i somehow doubt that it would be more expensive than the F430. And that's trouble because then it competes with the GT and that's just stupid. |

The Ferrari California will be an entry level Ferrari and is estimated to cost about 125,000 GBP (20k less than a 430) |

| I think that's about 10k more than an entry level Granturismo, but at these prices who cares about 10k up or down. Because its a ferrari it will obviously sell like crazy, but the Maserati sales might drop because of it. |

I am sure it is in other countries. Here it is the Lexus ES, but until last year, Lexus was a US/Canada only brand. |

| Well it isnt sold in Europe that's for sure. We get the AYGO, Yaris, Auris, Corolla, Corolla Verso, Avensis, Prius, RAV4, Land Cruiser, Land Cruiser V8, Hilux and that's about it. There are a few more, but they are all vans. |

Yeah it isn't any of those. So maybe a Japan only model outside of the US. |

Sorry mate, are you taking the piss? :p
Lexus is a worldwide brand and has enjoyed great success in Europe. It was only up until last year that Lexus became a brand in JAPAN. PReviously, they were marketed as Toyota's. Hence my car is not actually a Lexus but a Toyota Aristo, rather than a GS300. The other models were the Toyota Altezza (IS300) and Toyota Celsior (LS400). |
