honda = cute lil kids car.
E60 = real car.
now i am going to prove that the BMW is better though math, and math is always correct.
e60 > honda
point made.

This year's F1 championship winning car was essentially Honda-engineered as the design was substantially complete before Honda transitioned the team to Brawn as the season was about to start. BMW, on the other hand, has now made a humiliating withdrawal from F1 after years of dismal results.
And before Captain Obvious flies in and tells us that the Brawn GP car was Mercedes powered, that same engine also powered the McLaren cars which struggled for pace until the second half of the season. So, if one were to apply your "logic" to the top tier of motor sport, it would appear that Honda engineers > BMW engineers.

20 Years ago, BMW and Mercedes pissed on themselves from laughing at teh Japanese attempt to enter the luxury market, with the LS400 and the Q45.
While the Q has gone to pasture, Lexus has become the number 1 luxury brand in the world, and the LS460 is every bit the match for the S-Class and 7 series.
Laugh at the Genesis today- they have room to grow. When you're on top, there's only one direction for you to go.
Korea will be a major player in the next few years.

...it's becoming clear that the days of customers staying loyal to any given brand are rapidly coming to a close.

Does not look comfortable and most definately does not look safe!
Maybe if it was bigger and didn't have that stupid looking rear end?
