Me too. Just to clarify things a bit though. I do not particularly like automatics. The car I have now is a stick and I love it to death. The only reason that I am looking for an automatic is because of the heavy traffic. I am sick of fighting with a stick in the stop and go traffic. That is why I am looking for some luxury as well. Recaro seats just arent enough of a creature comfort anymore. In short my body is aging beyond the race car thing. This does not change my desire to drive fast. I just want something more comfortable to do it in.

I completely understand, however, I would emplore you to check out a new corvette. The luxury of the car is far underrated. Not saying you should get one due to the fact that you have a mini zoo over there, but they aren't grandpa's race car anymore. The Corvette has made huge strides in becoming a luxury sports car, and they succeeded in my opinion.

The reasons you mentioned in this post and others is why I was looking at a BMW. However, I do not have the traffic out here so the stick issue is a nonissue with me. Traffic is one of the things I miss the least about Boston.

How interested are you in the Lexus? (realistically)

I will probably buy it within a year or 2. If not the Lexus, then something very similar.
