Mercedes kind of blew a big opportunity not buying ad time on Monday Night Football with the game being played at the new Mercedes Benz Superdome

That's definitely odd, what's up with that?

What is it with women and Lexus'? They make overpriced uninspiring cars. Am I the only one who thinks they make the most bland cars on the market?

Sounds like someone needs to go for a test drive


Not that I have a great frame of reference but I've driven both BMW and Lexus and I absolutely loved driving the Lexus. If I ever make enough money I'll probably try to buy a Lexus sedan or a Hyundai Genesis if they're still a great bang for the buck luxury car by then.

We'll see. My signing bonus wasn't exactly Lexus worthy but whatever...but where the hell am I gonna find a ribbon big enough to wrap around a car?

Get her a conflict diamond then when she's so happy about what you got her break the story about where it came from. She'll be so distraught she'll never want anything expensive again.

I drive a Lexus, but it wasn't a gift, and there was no bow.

Hate the commercials too, but love the car.

German Cars, Latin Women and American Beer. Everyone has their specialty.

I test drove RX a few years ago and it wasn't that special of drive. These luxury cars are overrated...a fully loaded Nissan Murano will do just fine.

it's a purse they can ride around in. and while the majority of women i've meant don't know the first thing when it comes to cars, they know it's expensive and it makes the other women jealous. Which is enough to know they want one.*

More than slightly true though.

I'm Honda for life. It looks more like a luxury car lately as their designs change from year to year and that's fine with me. The only thing I might switch Honda for is a Scion, Toyota or a Nissan.

Ultimately I want something thats gonna get me from point A to point B, look decent and for Godssake, doesn't cost an arm and a leg to repair.

Well they did pay for the name on the superdome.

My Dad is in the automobile business (currently VP of Service at a Jaguar/Land Rover dealership), but in years past the dealerships he's worked at had BMW, Lexus, Porsche, Audi, Lincoln, Mercury, so I've had the fortunate opportunity to have been in many makes and models of each brand and even driven a few. Aside from the 911 and 944 I rode in, my absolute favorite is the LS line from Lexus. To me, that car is absolutely stunning and they keep making it better and better. Some of the other models have their Toyota equivalents, and I would certainly opt for the fully loaded Toyota over the entry level Lexus. But the LS is just awesome to me.

When my grandfather could afford it, he bought a Cadillac DeVille because that's what he wanted. My DeVille is the LS. When I'm in my late 50s and I want to buy a car, that's what I hope to be able to afford.

saden - When the RX first came out, I thought it was cool. Then I rode in it, and it completely lost its luster. That thing sucks.

Oh, and yes the commercials are quite annoying...

I've been looking into picking up a Lexus IS 350 (used of course). Friend had one for a while and it's a fun car. It's small and quick. The only bad thing about it is 1/4 inch of snow grounds you.

I had an Acura that I absolutely loved. At 250K the transmission died and I considered replacing it rather than getting my current car (Nissan Maxima... yuck. Stay away.)

Drove a BMW 3 series and hated it. It's an uncomfortable ride. The handling was pretty good, but if you're in the car for more than 30 minutes expect to be sore when you get out.

I've always loved the look and feel of Mercedes, but can't bring myself to face the maintenance bills on a German car. Lexus/Acura/Toyota/Honda cars are tanks and will run forever, haven't seen the same from German vehicles.
