black mercedes,
i totally agree with you on the point of the lexus. but i wasnt sure if japanese makes was one of the options being looked into. otherwise the gs would be a far better option than either the 400e or the 3-series.
300hp, fastest 4 door sedan (stock) back in 1998, and these days with around 70K miles one can get them around 20 grands.
