now!
I guess they made the cost analysis and must've figured it wasn'tworth the investment. It's funny I was talking to a BMW owner and he said
the same thing about Bimmers.

Oh I realized I never did this roll call thing...

Hello List,
I have an 06 GS 430 with gold emblems. Dont see them to often and I dont know if I like them yet. I might have to ante-up and purchase chrome ones.
Excellent Forum though.

4. Spoiler
5. Black
6. Navigation System/Mark Levinson Audio System Package; Moonroof; Rain-sensing wipers and Adaptive Front Lighting System; Intuitive Parking Assist; Ventilated front seats; Rear spoiler; Preferred Accessory Package
Did it for the ride, the tire life, and the fuel.
Came out of an Infiniti with 265hp, and the 245hp in the 300 was plenty for me.

Thanks.
I bought my wife an 05 ES330 last year, and while the engine seems a little anemic she loves the buttery soft ride. I was so impressed with the quality of the ride, the fit and finish of the interior I was hooked.
I spend a few days test driving the BMW 550i, 530i, Infinit M45, MB E320, 350 and decided that not a single one of them even came close to the Lexus..
I love this car!
