Selling LS460 for RX350 or Mercedes GLK

clay7160 · 10-27-09, 10:53 PM

I have a Verdigris green LS460 with all the bells and whistles (mark levinson, power door closers, navi, rear sunshade, heated rear seats, and etc.), bought it certified with 43k miles, now 6 months and 3k miles later, i find that i am not confident in driving the car, it is so much larger than the small suv that drive daily, (honda element), that i am going to sell of my LS, and my JIC MAGIC coilovers (now in classifieds) and purchase either a lexus rx350 or Mercedes Glk, both 2010...

any opinions..??

I reviewed both, the RX 350 is fantastic. The GLK is horrid to me, I can't think of any single reason to buy it other than the badge.

Well if you would like the amenities of the LS in an SUV package, plus a generally smooth ride, the RX fits the bill, IMO. Plus as the newest Lexus it's got a lot of the latest tech options, Remote Touch etc.

i can see the size of the ls being a problem. the new rx is a very nice car, the glk though i am not sure if i like it...

I drove the new RX, nice luxury and roominess but a bit boring. If the LS seemed big and soft for you, the RX might be too.

I like the look of the GLK more and it's smaller. Since it's based on the latest C-class, the reliability and chassis dynamics should be good.

Just my opinions.......

Thats what we like to hear! We have the CarChat section and a lot of non Lexus owners hang out there.

a lot of us here would be a lil biased to answer this question don't you think? haha but have you check out the Audi or BMW X5? i think both looks a lot better than the Merc GLK

Not necessarily, I think the GLK is worth considering.

I would take the GL over the RX with regard to styling. That Merc badge comes with plenty of trips to the shop though. The RX is a chic car IMO.
