josh12 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 After struggling with several MBs I have decided to give Lexus a chance. My wife has a 2004 RX300, which is very nice and reliable. From what I have read in this forum reliability is not a problem with Lexus. I have been thinking what Lexus model will best meet my needs. It appears that the sporty 2007 GS460 may help me transition from the MB SL500, which is a hardtop convertible. I have enjoyed reading your forum.

SKperformance Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Very nice car with a beutifully designed roof. But you already know the rest of issues it comes with. The SC would be the closest to comparable but it definatly does not have the same beauty that the SL commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Big400 have you seen the WDBSK vin'd SL's open and close the retractable hardtop ? I doubt you have, as it is a work of art to watch it much more than the SC's roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the the Nav and sound system is inferior to Acura or Lexus. Considering this is $ 100K + car I expect more than good looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Don't worry Josh most of the MB line up is just as flawed as the SL .Just the SL was one of the more expensive ones. Until recently i worked as an Inspector for MB and there is ubelivable poor reliability for what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
