Please SEARCH this horse has been beat to death, has risen from the dead, where its been promptly beaten to death again.

There are no new facts, no new finds. This is 3 pages long with the same opinions and same findings since day one.

The fact is Infiniti hasn't had a mid-sized luxury sedan worth a bottle full of Camel **** for 15 years. FINALLY, after 15 years, they come with a worthy competitor. And OF COURSE, the fans are joyous. I would be too, if I waited that long for something.

Whereas the competiton has offered these cars for sometime now. Lexus finally got it right the 2nd time, as the 1st gen GS was a sales failure and WITHOUT a V-8 option, buyers did not look to the car. So it took Lexus 5 years to get it right (1st gen 1993, 2nd gen 1998).

But damn, not 15.

The E-class and 5 are simply still the status quo in this class. They could offer 100hp engines, it doesn't matter.

The end result, the FM platform is such a DAMN GOOD platform, it turned the M into a serious option this time around. For anyone to deny this is foolish. To say its the best and expect people to just agree, is also foolish.

Lexus just launch its own brand in Japan. From now on Toyota and Lexus will not share the same designe. They may share the same electronic parts, suspension, engine, but they will not share the same body design.

You're right . Lexus is still Toyota and I'm glad about this. I'm glad that my 2006 GS is the first L-Fitness from Lexus and backed by Toyota. Nothing wrong with driving any Toyotal products and I'm sure nobody can buy this company( they can't afford it, not even GM).
