It used to be war between Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and now the war is shifted between Lexus and BMW. See, BMW owners just think their cars are better than everybody else......E36 and E46 have conquered this compact luxury sports sedan class for so long, and the bimmer guys are so used to this number one feeling, but they have not realized or at least have not admitted that their beloved 3-series has been caught up by at least three Japanese competitors(Lexus IS350/IS250, Infiniti G35, and Acura TL) already, if not surpassed by them.

i'd say the sports sedan war is primarily revolving around bmw-lexus-infiniti too.
they got the 3 vs IS vs G
also got the 5 vs GS vs M
lexus still #1 imo.
bmw/infiniti are tied for runner-up.

[ There is no more Toyota Altezza or any other Toyota equivalent to the IS. This car was designed from the ground up as a Lexus and will be sold world wide (yes, even in Japan) as the Lexus IS. People who make that comment aren't even worth arguing with because they are obviously misinformed.
