This catch actually surprised me. There are few NAFTA market Japanese vehicles that appeal to me as a sport sedan replacement for my E-class -- Lexus GS430 and the new Acura RL are just about the limit. The rest are too boring for a typical driving enthusiast in my opinion.

Interesting note: Just outside Daimler's native stomping grounds (i.e. Benelux), the most common vehicles on the road are manufactured by Ford, Opel, Honda, and Toyota. It is a common misconception among Americans that most Europeans drive what is considered a luxury marque inside North America. Seeing an Audi S8 tearing up a hillside in Luxembourg is just as rare a sight there as Main Street, USA.

Just my random 0.02[currency] for the evening.
