So I believe the difference is "to enjoy a well engineered machine" or "to move from point A to point B" in the driving we do. To a lot of people there is no difference when driving a Toyota or a Benz, you know, if you push the accelerator pedal, the car will go, if the steering wheel turns the car will turn, and so forth. For these people: lease Toyota/Honda for 36 mo.

I enjoy driving a lot, and find Japanese and American made vehicles extremely boring to drive. I have virtually driven most vehicles out there and have found over the years that nothing but MB or BMW are my choices as enjoyable cars to drive. I stick to MB because is the one I learned more about, so I understand better what I am driving. If PROPERLY maintained, it will work well and for a long time.
