That should the the title of this thread... but IMHO the G35 didn't look very good in person. It was still an Altima with modified body moldings. Which is too bad, it started out with such a high potential for being awesome... then they let the old timers take over the design team.

Anyone see the A6 Advant wagon from Audi.....yikes $58,000 !!

Yeah right...nice car, fast, and very stealthy, being a wagon and all....but kiss my *** on the $58,000... I'd rather take a GS 430 or even LS 430 with factory options including the 17's then add all kinds a crazy option packages, too much for basically a Vollswagen with a very sweet V8...

But seriously, the S6 Advant would so kick the IS 300 *** in stock form ...some mom just blow the IS off like chump change

Not to be rude, but OF COURSE it would kick my ***. If a 58 grand car didn't kick my IS' *** I'd think it wasn't worth the money. Another thing on the A6 Advent is that the supension on that thing rocks too, so chances are it could take us IS' in the hills, and mountains. Scary. I saw a guy on the 405 coming back from work one night and I thought, he isn't ashamed to be in that car at all. He knows he can kill most cars on the road!

Lexusnexus you're also missing the heated seats option... and if you're talking about options on the car in general you're missing a ton (refering to your sig)

If the A6 is just basically a Volkswagon with a very sweet V8, then that makes Lexus just BASICALLY Toyota with a V6 or V8 also. Infiniti is just basically a Nissan.

What's the point???

The A6 Advent isn't 58k. The A6 starts at 38k. The S6 starts at 58k. I just wanted to make sure there was that distinction. Of course a 38k station wagon isn't going to be incredible. The S6 though rocks for the size of car. The IS and GS are both faster, but I think the S6 will outhandle a OEM GS.

The point is Volkswagon sucks ! You don't even drive a Lexus...you wouldn't even know....

People buy a new Volkswagon when they can't afford to buy a used Lexus...

Or it could be that some people want a car company that has absolutely no ties to american companies. Toyota and GM share a couple of plants. VW isn't in bed with anyone to the extent that Toyota is (to my knowledge). Then of course, most people don't make rational car purchases, they buy based on looks, or some sort of loyality.

Maybe this thread should quit being a "brand bashing" thread and go back to being normal...before it gets locked.

You are such a joke. Many people can afford a Lexus, but CHOOSE to buy a Volkswagon, BMW, Mercedes, Audi. Lexus is NOT "the best" car out there on the road. People have different styles, preferences, etc.

I am not bashing Lexus at all, but your quote is quite funny (and childish).

Please grow up and get your head out of your *** please.
