CL is clearly the best for Lexus.

Which are good for:

Most importantly:

Acura
(Acura MDX)
Benz

Nice to know:
Honda
Toyota
Ford Explorer
BMW
Infiniti

 

imho the following are the "best" and biggest, but definition of best can be very different. i hardly post on some of those places for a reason

acurazine
mbworld.org
toyotanation
bimerforums.com (or if you have model specific, i might have other recommendations)

 

use google, type in make model forum and the most popular ones pop up

 

Few, if any, of the other car-talk forums, in my experience, seem to have moderators as alert as those on CL. There are also a number of posters on them that talk mostly stereotypes, without much true automotive knowledge.

 

no kidding. reading some other forums is a training of my EQ level.

 

If you want general automotive (as in all brands and everything about cars), then go to:

CARSPYSHOTS.NET

 

Using Acura as an example, www.acuraforums.com appears before www.acurazine.com

Acura MDX brings up both http://www.mdxers.org/forums/ and now http://www.acuraworld.com/forums/

http://www.google.com/search?q=acura...ient=firefox-a

and I'd hate to have to compare or become members of four

 

Ugh. I can't post on mbworld anymore.

CL is very unique. That's why some people still come here even if they don't own or used to own a Lexus.

 

mbplanet is the best for benz
mbplanet.org

 

I only post here on CL and this place by far is the most knowledgable bunch of people i know when it come to cars.

 

helps for general car info, but not for specific manufacturers
