Trust or buy? I'd trust a Toyota/Lexus over anything comparable. Toyota is the most reliable car company. Period. But that wouldn't have a huge affect on which I buy.

I dont know man, certain MB vehicles in the past few years have been sub par imho. Toyota/Lexus on the other hand uses great materials and has amazing quallity across the board, from the Corolla to the LS430. The design of Toyota's interior is the that that doesnt always hit the mark with me.

My step-father works for a certain company that uses Lexus as the benchmark. The day they can hit Lexus quality is the day they'll be happy. They even buy Lexus' (Lexi?) and take them apart to study how they are made.

I think the Pacifica looks very attractive. By about its second or third year on the market, it'll probabily be time to replace the MDX. While the next MDX will be out, the Pacifica would be exactly what we need (too bad its that power-sucking 4-speed auto).

I'm kinda anxious for the LX cars. The differentiatian (right?) between the brands will be greats (no common exterior parts). The 300N and Concorde replacement (New Yorker?) will be as the current 300M and Concorde are... share doors but different size, different interior, different engines.

huh?...you don't need a 5 speed auto with a strong low end torque engine...5 speed autos are more appropriately mated to high end torque engines such as hondas

Trust. I wouldn't buy either a Toyota or a Mercedes.

its not symbolic, its pathetic. you need a singer to sell your car? isnt drive = love good enough? Bah, thats a bunch of bull****. The car should be selling itself as long as people know about it.

also, the 300N seems like it will be a nice car, but it seems like itll compete with the E-class.

Yeah. Honda's spokespeople are Reliability, Interior Design and Performance.

Babs, I wouldn't either.

yeah i really cant think of a spokesperson for any other car company. i'm sure there might be, but its a stupid concept.

Toyota/Lexus and Mercedes, maybe when I'm 50.
