Would you be talking about a 3 season driver up there on mainly plowed highways? I'm assuming you're not driving up in F.M. I'd just get a F150 King Ranch for luxury and power. I'd never subject a luxury car to anything up that way in the winter. I'd love the 550xi but it's way too much trouble as a commuter.

Lol. Ziinng. I assumed Nuck said heavy commute and Northern Alberta. Maybe YEG isn't on the commute at all. Funny about that story, some of the negative online comments are still referring to Lexus as glorified Toyotas and not even a real luxury car. So I wonder if the stunt will work.

I'll park my glorified Toyota in my special VIP parking

Honestly OP, I'd look at an Audi A6 3.0T. The reliability of these is strangely good- Consumer Reports even gave it their Top Pick rating. Quick, luxuriously appointed, all that.
Beautiful may be the wrong word, but I really like the styling.

LOL, looks to me every body panel is 100% different...every seam is different....every crease is different....every panel shaped different...door handles different, rocker panels different, roof line different, windows shaped different, gas tank filler different side......oh but yes it does have 4 doors and 4 wheels like a Maxima
