I agree, GM is still a bit away as far as the overall package is concerned. Ford and Lincoln is closer in my opinion. The new MKS is pretty nice, but there are some manufacturing quality issues I did notice when I look at it when it 1st came out last year. Maybe it was just that one MKS in the showroom that had the issue, but so far, initial quality report for lincoln have been just so so.

I live a area where there are 4 Audi dealer with a 30 min drive and 7 within a hour, so many dealers to choose from. My buying and service experience have been good, not up to Lexus' standards, but then, who is. The tight supply is definitely keeping the price up, then again, Audi have a very small mark up unlike Lexus. The general manager at the dealer told me that Audi is running the Q5 production line 24 hours a day and they still cannot keep up with demand, I guess its a really popular suv in Europe. With my Audi loyality discount, I got the Q5 at about $500 above invoice.

Sat in one these today. It was a loaded model with just 40k miles on it. I must say, phenomenal interior on this car. Everything inside felt good. The infotainment system has held up really nice, the graphics look good for an eight year old system. Love the fact that you don't need to have the screen up the whole time. The leather was really nice. Lovely wood on the steering wheel and a very interesting interior design. I am not sure if I have ever bashed this car before, but I take it back if I do.
