i’ve been running my c63 for almost 5 years now, tacked on 80,000 miles, many many track days, canyon runs etc... and ZERO problems whatsoever.

people whose cars break either:

1) don’t care for them (improper/irregular servicing and maintenance)

2) don’t know how to drive them

This x 1000. I had a new S4, it drove me fucking crazy with the incessant things going wrong. Lemon or not, I started to get really angry at it when it would go into limp mode and I would have to waste two hours getting to the dealer and dropping it off while I was hemorrhaging income at work by not being there. I got…

I’d have to agree with that. I’m not saying the IS-F is a bad car (far from it) but its not quite there.

I’ve had issues with my 2007 530i (some quite expensive and annoying) as did my coworker who owns a similar year 6 series coupe. My coworker recently traded his Audi A3 for a Camry due to consistent issues.

Well Put.

That’s a good (and recent) example, well done. But let me state the following: Toyota just spent 4 years and Billions of dollars fixing problems in their cars THAT WAS KILLING PEOPLE.

Driving the M4 for 6 months now without a problem. Why do you still go by late 90’s theories? Check the stats, for a first year model, it’s doing very well.

Lexus is the car for people who want a sports sedan that won’t require the expense of it’s residual value in annual repair bills.

The way I look at Lexus as far as performance goes. They can surely build a high performance turbo-charged vehicle that is the equivalent of it’s German rivals, but they are a company built on reliability and going the uber-performance can tarnish that. Thus you see them sticking to the same reliable engines of years…

The brand is confusing because of the parent company, Toyota. It all comes back to them. Yes Lexus has their own engineers and what not, but the know how and approvals have to come from up top. So I think we are going to continue to see half assed attempts at performance from Lexus. Its evident in the fact that two…

People in the US hold on to their vehicles a lot longer than people in the UK do, and those Audis and BMWs start to cost big Deutschmarks to repair once the years start racking up. A Lexus is a Toyota in a three piece suit.

Perhaps not “a ton of money,” but I am convinced that the S2000 CRs are going to appreciate in value significantly. It’s a fairly rare edition of one of enthusiasts’ favorite sports cars, and they are surprisingly affordable right now. If you’re looking for something fun that will be worth more down the road, buy one…

That’s just the exhaust note, which I think sounds great. However, the engine note (especially from inside the cabin) really is it’s weakest point because it sounds pretty terrible.

I thought I was alone in appreciating the sound of the VQ! It’s one of the nice things about driving my wife’s G37.

I’m addicted to the stock exhaust note of my G35. Its the reason I bought one (again).

Agreed. My father-in-law’s G37 sounds quite nice compared to a lot of V6’s I’ve driven.

Among non v-12’s or v8’s the VQ is one of my favorite engine notes. Silly to pipe it into the cabin though.

How does this stupid thing receive so much publicity? It’s not nor will ever be real. It’s a foam buck on a rolling chassis. The whole car is run by a single cable. He wants to make production in 9 months yet all he has to take to a show is a buck? not even a prototype? sorry I work in the manufacturing industry and…

I have a 14 sv sport. It handles better than anything I have driven that is the same size. It has all the toys, looks amazing, and was 29 grand. The cvt works great in this car, unlike any other cvt car I have driven. It will blow the doors off of 80% of the cars you encounter on the road, and has an Infiniti quality…
