In Reply to: Real difference between Lexus and BMW posted by KJK on June 05, 2000 at 10:40:13:

BMW are driver's cars.
Lexi are for people who like to have gold trim and emblems installed as an option...

To me "Lexi" just do not have a soul. Honestly (not flame bait) I do not think I would buy anything they sell even at 50% of MSRP. There is just something that connects driver to the road in German cars, from a VW Golf to a BMW 7er. They possess some inherent value that I just cannot put into words, and the cost of the vehicle has nothing to do with it.

I drove a friends '00 Jetta 1.8T the other day. The fit and finish were amazing and it was a true kick to drive. Really really fun car and guess what? It cost less than $20K!
