YEAH, LET US KNOW.
I sat in a Lexus GS350 at the Ocean terminal, a so called 5 series rival and was shocked.
apart from a comfy padded arm-rest, the car was the exact opp of what we are used to.
i mean sitting in the rear you can't even stick your feet under the front passenger seat, the front e seats
speed and head room were all lacking.... even the boot release only comes up 2inches, and not like ours.
and this is supposed to be a competitor car to a E60???? no way man, and the 690k hybrid, why would you buy it?
and the Rx SUV, ithe nterior was like an old civic, utterly of no use at all in HK.
DAMN- wife seriously curbed my front wheel OUCH!!!!!! all 12inchs circumference of screwed up rim

however, my car has the auto flapping vents behind the front grills (Designed for the cold area, Norway...etc), so the first thing before i install the red scoop is to remove the flapping vent first, maybe i will need to take off the front bumper
Ar Kin's time GS is no way can compare with E class or 5 series, nor its interior, performance or handling
I hate sitting at the rear of my friends IS 250, totally ridiculous leg room, even a young man like me can't easily get in and out of the car!! Much worst than the old civic! But i got to say it is the most quietest small sadan i've ever sitted tho...
Sad to hear your spouse kurbed ur wheel again, fancy a wheel refurb GB? As you know three of my wheels have been badly kurbed

in some HK newspaper they placed the hybrid version GS above the 530i and 3rd was E350, so that irritated me,
