hey guys,
i can't speak for MB....so i can't say if they are worried or not that
Lexus is catching up??
this is just my opinion and a guess ...but i never
see Lexus unseating MB as the worlds premier auto manufacturer.
but when it comes to the term "rebadging"....i understand the financial
benefits of doing it.....but wouldn't it make your brand stronger if
you had brand specific cars??
ie...the LS430....great car for many reasons but one of them
has to be because it is unique to Lexus.

isn't the equal of MB.

You should end that sentence with "in total US sales." But like I said early, why does it matter? Lexus is a luxury marquee from Toyota and is a totally different business model from Mercedes.

Sounds like someone should go back to MB forums, or maybe you should go post some anti-sodomy stuff on a homosexual forum.

No one is frightened, I'm not sure who you think is scared? I'd buy stock in Toyota long before thinking about purchasing Daimler-Chrysler, how about you?
It's inflamatory because your half completed sentences are half-*** slams on Lexus. In case you haven't noticed, this IS a Lexus owners forum and we don't tolerate trolling here.

hey guys,
lighten up!!!
what's wrong with someone posting some opinions that you don't like.
it seems i've touched a nerve here.
i've said this many times and i guess i'll say it again for those
who have been upset by my posts......Lexus are fine automobiles.
someday maybe i'll purchase one. i am very curious as to the
new GS.....if it ever comes out
were any of you surprised by those sales figures???
