Don't be angry mate. Some cars may have higher cc engine, but it might not drive as well as one with lower engine capacity. Some may call 520i 'marginal', but it definitely drives better than the 3L Japanese that was recently launched here.

A good drive doesn't necessarily mean gunning down the road in crazy speeds. That's missing the point.

I experience a good drive every day on our Singapore highways (where the maximum speed limit is 90 km/hr, unless you wish to contribute to the coffers of the traffic police and let them recoup the cost of the speed cameras which they had recently acquired).

On Friday evening, did anyone see the Lexus 300 with its nose inside this old shophouse at the junction of East Coast Road and Telok Kurau Road ? Apparently the driver was making a turn from Marine Parade Road into East Coast Road towards Siglap whilst trying to beat the red light and miscalculated the turn. Control is everything, not power.

in every forum..they will b spoilers who come n go..why do u guys bother? obviously he is not a current owner...or he is pro-lexus guy in the wrong forum.

read somewhere, arguing on the internet is like winning the 100m in the special olympics. even if u win, u r still a retard.

ok no disrespects to the underpriviledge.....but the point is why bother...?

Omigosh! how come this thread has turned into marque bashing, name calling and so on...

lexi, do you live in sg before and now resides in bay areas? Jez curios as i want to take your comment into context if i may!
Unfortunately in sg, the vehicle ownership scheme has put us into a "marginal users" (if i may borrow your words) regime. Otherwise for about US$50K, everybody will be zooming around in a 545i but than again most likely get stuck in traffic all the time though which are full of Porsche; Ferrari and so on. Juz kidding!

BTW was at Borneo Motors last saturday to check out the GS300. Cool design and all and it is a bargain at $200K for a 3 liter full loaded options. Very tempting but i need to know if i can trash around the car as i do with the e60.
Was there for a good 15 minutes, no salesperson gave a damn at all for my presence so i checked it out myself and didn't manage a test drive yet.

By the way, got an invite for e90 launch, i am going to the 1pm Saturday slot. So see you guys there!

So Lexi's not in Singapore. Is that the reason why he tries his luck calling names here? And again the 2 dollar propellar..... I strongly resent that!!! Those emblems cost more than 10 times what Lexi quotes.

Well, Lexi, my invitation is open; the next time you come back, PM me. I WILL MEET YOU!!

Any date will do for me. BTW, anyone going up to Malacca on 25th? Seems I'll be the only E60 there. C'mon guys, lend me some support. It's just gonna be for a few hours.
