Have you also considered getting written offers from competitor companies like Mercedes-Benz and Audi. doing so makes them fight even harder for your money. They see you out doing research beyond just what they have it becomes very beneficial at the negotiating table Read More...

A better value proposition?

Written by: blckislandguy on Oct 31, 2009 05:21 PM

Earlier iterations of this board went thru the Lexus vs Mercedes War some time ago. Afterall a while it all got very tiring. So, at the risk of boring anyone, I'd like to give you my experience for what it is worth. I had a couple of free hours last night and I stopped in at a central MA Lexus dealership. The sales guys were remarkably well informed and seemingly had all ... Read More...

Wouldn't a S320 Bluetech actually make more sense? Well, they have it in the EU, but it's mileage, combined cycle, is better and it costs less. I'd bet the actual manufacturing cost is significantly less on the diesel, and now that diesel is less expensive than 87 octane, $.43/gallon where I live, the hybrid just doesn't make much sense. If you mostly did city driving, ... Read More...

Just getting caught up to speed with everyone. Merc1- Great pics from Motown. I got some that I need to get on here also. Maybach? Mercedes just needs to cut their loses now and forget that they even attempted this arena of automobile. MAybe if they'd put the 3-pointed star on the hood, they wouldn't have to entice prospects with $20k in free upgrades. And lastly, ... Read More...

I saw this and was reminded of your push for the E-Class to be included on the old HELM board. A little history on the E-Class: W120/W121 1953-1962. Also known as Ponton. W110 "Heckflosse / Fintail", 1959-1968 W114/W115 "Strich-8" 1967-1976 W123, 1976-1985 W124, 1985-1995 My personal favorite E of all time so far, the car I saw so much growing up. It was also the ...

This is a very important period of growth for the LS, and for Lexus in particular. Think of it as when Lebron James went to the Cavs. Or when Tiger Woods played in the '97 Masters. If you still want a $65k Lexus LS, you can get one, and have the best car in that price range. And if you want more, you get more. I don't look at it as a price increase, but a coming of age. It puts ... Read More...

The Cayman version of the Boxster has turned out to be the true star, simply because the engine is in the right position for better balance. Cayman and Boxster engines are in the same position and balance is identical at 45/55 front/rear. You must be talking about both Boxster and Cayman as compared with the 911 Carrera which is 38/62. The Boxster S has garnered ... Read More...

Oh no a S550 Convertible will not happen. I'll eat the brochure if it makes it to production and is sold here at the local Benz dealer! OK then we are just going to have to defer this bet to some time in 2010. But if I lose I am not going to eat any brochure (some brochures are so big that swallowing one could be fatal). ;) Read More...
