Bmw was getting "old" and sedate in their styling. This car is anything but sedate. My 135 is quicker with 330hp and 330ft lbs of torque but my Lexus is more luxurious and quiet while still providing the sports car feel. I chose obsidian black with Rioja red interior. Whoa! Beautiful! The Technology in this car is amazing. The Owners manual is larger than war and peace. You really need to get behind the wheel and play with it. I would like to see a little more horse and torque out of this car and will probably see if I can get it tuned. The Seats are amazingly comfortable and the ride is solid. Crazy good looks imho. Not too thrilled with the touch pad; surprisingly, I use voice commands more often. I've had it a week and it's a fun car and a nice departure from Bmw. I did get AWD which is great here in NJ. But, you lose 2 gears going from 8 speeds to six. No biggie. Oh! My wife picked up the LS 460 the same day leaving her binmer 550x drive behind. Lexus family now
