People say Lexus is a Toyota, is that a bad thing?
It is if you want to drive something with passion. Toyotas are lifeless pieces of utilitarian transportation. You're talking about the difference between Heidi Klum and that chick in the next cube who you'd never look twice at. No comparison.

No IS-F. Not exactly the best in its class. 1) M3 2) C63 3) RS4 4) IS-F.

Just get a new M3. They are amazing modded up.

I'll convert my e60 into a yellow cab, and i'll buy a camry to take me to the peak of driving pleasure...... Happy?????
Yes I think you should. Because........I hate to admit this, but our 525i gets smoked by a...................V6 Camry...
hey come on, we have 525i.....we don't have the right to say 'peak of driving pleasure' when we cannot keep up with a lady taking her kid to school in Hyundai Sonata V6 and another lady taking her daughter to soccer practice in her Camry V6.

"The 2007 Camry is a do-it-all automobile, the one that pleases Mom and Dad and impresses the boss without embarrassing the kids. The V6 Camry makes the dash to 60 mph in less time than a recent BMW 330i did, it was nearly as quiet as a Bentley Flying Spur at idle and wide-open throttle, and its 22 city/31 highway EPA fuel economy rating matches that of a four-cylinder Honda Civic Si. Pretty impressive stuff to say the least."

I get Camry?s as rental cars. I dread every minute driving them. Boring, generic, sterile.

Toyota lost their way when they decided to copy GM's models (building bigger American type vehicles or generic cars), in their attempt to become the world's largest auto maker. They got away from the fun cars they use to build, like the Supra.

Current Toyota buyers look at their car as an appliance. All they want is reliability and a basic car to get from point A to B.
