The difference in price (for the average dude like me) between Infiniti vs Nissan, Honda vs Acura, etc etc doesn't translate to performance or quality.

My dad currently has a 2011 Mercedes C300, and I've driven it. No Infiniti or Lexus holds a candle to it. Promise. Just my opinion, but again, I don't really care enough to get into it any further.

Just for chuckles:
2011 Lexus IS 250 vs 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 Luxury


Actually both are pretty boring, if Iwas spending that kind of money I get a WRX STi:

Lexus
IS 250


Mercedes-Benz
C300 Luxury
0-60 mph 7.9 seconds vs 6.8 seconds Both have sluggish 0-60 times
Braking distance at 60mph 129 ft vs 129 ft Both take longer to stop from 60mph
1/4 mile 16.3 s @ 88 mph vs 15.2 s @ 95 mph Both have pokey 1/4 mile times
Lateral acceleration 0.91 g vs Unknown

Top speed 140 mph vs 155 mph The C300 Luxury's top speed is average for this class of vehicle, but the IS 250 is just OK



2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI tS Sedan 0-60 mph 4.8 Quarter Mile 13.2

Not only will the Subaru hold a candle them it will blow theirs out!
