Looks like these guys are doing a lot better than their bigger brothers.

All three seem to be doing extremely poor for what you pay. So much for German excellence.

GTA8.5 · 02-28-2006, 07:02 PM

I wouldn`t say their doing terrible bum-man. Just think, three years ago
most of those points were at the botton of the list.

bum-man · 02-28-2006, 07:05 PM

Ya, but they should never have been in the bottom of the list in the first place.

GTA8.5 · 02-28-2006, 07:17 PM

You know how the Germans work. Thay like to be the first with new technology, that comes with a price.

I can imagine all most of the bugs have been ironed out of these models. Now is the best time to get one.

Again they rate the Audi the lowest for interior, I thought that was an Audi strong point?

If the 5er does that what does the Lexus LS430 do.

All for a $56,225! The Germans should be ashamed! ,

The only thing the customers seem to be complaining about is the style.
I think the new LS460 has that covered.
