If you didn't have a Lexus

What would you have been driving instead?

I personally would have been driving my dad's 1998 Saturn. V4 engine! LOL!!! If I pressed too hard on the gas, the bearings would fall right out! hahaha.

It sped like a go kart though

Beautiful on a full tank = $20.00!

The main reason that I got my RX300, was that Toyota was going to open its doors down here (so I could get some maintenance items and some service if I needed it), though my uncle and I have managed on our own and I need Toyota for Type-IV fluid and Coolant.

But back in January 2002 when I was looking for a vehicle, the Acura MDX (had a 6 month long waiting list), a late 90s Infiniti QX4, and a BMW 3 series wagon, were all in the mix. The QX4 might have won out since it could be serviced here. Perhaps if it had been available at the time, the turbocharged Subaru Forester.

I have an Infiniti too

, but as a substitute for the Lexus, most likely a Mercedes . . .

A Toyota

Eventually I would grow tired of it and need a "fun" car

I'd probably get a e39 BMW 540i. I almost got one when I got my GS anyway...

My old Celica gt-s. Loved that car, it was just getting older.

I was also looking into the Mitsubishi Outlander or G35/G37's.

Probably an Infiniti M45. But I never even test drove one. When I decided to sell my 2001 GS430, I didn't need much convincing to upgrade to a 2006 GS
