Bro, care to elaborate? Seems like there are a lot of good reviews on the GS300..Originally posted by johncooper:sat in one GS300 before .... and i thought that merc and beemer was good ... but .... i was wrong ... you'll have to sit in one to understand ....
I think most German cars out there are more superior than Lexus. For instance, MB offers a huge range of their high quality Designo leather and different templates of wood trims. All Lexus cars, to my astonishment, still bear the old school green digital clock (which is still in the new IS in fact).Originally posted by KangZ:In terms of reliability, the Germans can never beat the Jap. Quality? Perhaps only Audi can come close to the Jap standards. However, one thing about Lexus is that everywhere you look screams Toyota. That is not a bad thing considering Toyota parts (not sure about Thai built ones) are of quite high quality, but hey you won't want your luxury car to stink of a cheaper brand, do you? I also feel that the interior design of the Germans seem so much more sophisticated... It's like comparing a Sony design with a Bang & Olufsen.
One thing about Lexus is that they offer alot of kit as standard while the Germans offer them as options. Thus, making it extremely good value for money. Where can u get a new fully loaded 3L Merc or Beemer in S'pore under 200k?
Yup B&O is non German company, and I was making a comparison between good Jap and European design. The Designo package in Merc are very expensive and better wood trims cost money too. Compared to Lexus, they never offer you all the bells and whistles as standard (not even the more reasonable ones like premium sound system). You compare the Lexus LS and the S-class, and you know what I mean.Originally posted by philia:I think most German cars out there are more superior than Lexus.

Isn't B&O a Danish company?

Which will you choose for a luxury sedan - badging (continental brands like BMW/Merc) or value-for-money (Lexus)?

Plus the toyota techology is like whow .... Fusing 2 1500cc VVTLi together to get 3000cc Dual VVTi V6 block ...
ditto. Ever sat in a ES300 going thru a corner at 80km/h? Worst than a MErcedes E200Originally posted by ditzy:Everything is good, but they still have to improve on thier vehicle handling aspect.![]()
have to disagree with you there... you cannot base it on just one sit...Originally posted by johncooper:sat in one GS300 before .... and i thought that merc and beemer was good ... but .... i was wrong ... you'll have to sit in one to understand ....
but the downside is when you park .... you will hear an ochestra of beeps warning you this and that ... which i (dun) think u can switch off![]()
I agree... so Wong what do you drive?Which model?Originally posted by WongCH:BMW is your choice!
dont buy lexus. its sux. unless you are talking about SC430.
dont get merc if you are still below 35 yo. unless you are getting merc sport like SLK or SL55.
BMW is your choice. from the exterior, it is sporty for young people like us. from the interior, the driving experience is very comforty for the driver.
Agreed.Originally posted by AE86tofu:plz la its nt just the badge tt makes it ex for merc lo....u pay for the safety and engineering and quality....
