I hope you will keep us posted on how things go with the Lexus. I have been so happy with my '84 Celica GTS that I was looking at an ES300 before I got my MB. I opted for the MB because of 2 reasons. 1) The front wheel drive turned me off - my acura Legend has FWD and gets about 15k miles out of the outer CV joints, and 30k out of the inner CV joints. Expensive! 2) My japanese Toyota mechanic talked me out of the 85k mile Lexus I was looking at. He said the newer Japanese cars were real expensive to maintain after 100k miles (My Acura Legend has sure proved that!)

I would be interested in hearing about your long term post 100k experiences with the Lexus. I have about 249,000 on the Celica with nothing major so far.
