(It's odd how similar the two cars look, even down to the instrument cluster) He immediately left that dealership and went to nissan. The lexus salesman was NOT happy... oh well

LOL! I personally would have still gotten the Lexus instead of a POS Alitma. Sorry but Lexus is the best in build quality and resale period!

Hey Dumbass have you ever heard of a typo. I have owned more Nissan's than anyone on this board so don't even go there. This is my 1st Honda/Acura product and I am loving it.

Sorry but the Altima is a not POS compared to the LEXUS, but its not near as good or quality as the LEXUS would be. I would hope for the price difference yeah. Anyways I might have came out a little harsh on that. Sorry.

Yea the other thing, you can't compare the 2 either. Higher class people drive Lexus's since they have a much bette rep anyways, also, the car is just way out of the Altimas class.

Oh, yeah, right.... Nevermind the build quality and customer service rating for last billion years....

I don't think the "average" person would be comparison shopping the Altima and the GS anyway. A bright one, obviously.

It's funny that the owners of these lower priced "bang-for-the-buck" cars i.e. the new Altima, Maxima, TLS, etc never deny that Lexus builds better quality vehicles, while at the same time telling us that we spent too much money. And that they surely could have afforded the extra $10-20k but chose to save it and purchase a better all-around car Then they go on to say that their next car will be either a BMW, MB or Lexus ??!!

What a goofball.....

If I had a dog, and s/he was single, I sure as hell wouldn't bring it near that kid. He'd ruin the breed......

They might close that thread down before Sick has chance to muck it up a little.

Hey Sick: if you do go over there, PM me and I'll follow. I have no need to go back otherwise; call me a troll. I don't care.
