SpineDoc,

After reading your post, I do understand where you are coming from. However, onemust keep in mind that two cars of different age cannot be compared like apples to apples. Your Lexus is a 94, your Benz is an 87. That's 7 years of apart, technology advances and wear and tear.


I do agree with Shyne's opinion. Mu uncle once owned a 1985 190E 2.3 Benz, and now drives a 1995 LS 400. He's enjoying his Lexus much better now. Again, the difference in years. Mercedes are not made to be quick off the line, especially with your 300E, it's most likely an inline 6, where as your Lexus is a V-6. V-6's have better torque and acceleration, but inlines have better top speed.

In other words, I hope that you're happy with your Lexus. It's a nice car, no doubt, but to most of us at this forum, we prefer Benz for our own reasons.

Happy Driving,
vu
