LOL, they used a pic of the 2GS! (I emailed them, great article but the pic is wrong)
For a more engaging driving experience, get a BMW 5 Series. But, consider that Consumer Reports predicts a new 5 Series will have poor reliability, whereas a new Lexus GS will have very good reliability. Like the BMW, the GS also has very good owner satisfaction. In terms of other competitors, the Jaguar S-Type is also plagued with reliability problems, and an entry-level Cadillac STS is pound-for-pound about as capable and luxurious as a Toyota Avalon, which costs $15,000 less.

Please do not mention their products as it will lead to an off-topic heated debate and will result in locking of this thread.
And it is very evident that your purpose was to incite a flamewar as seen here in your post in FA.

I am SURE the moderators on this forum will certainly delete such a post and warn this poster accordingly! right?
Guys, I can not understand why you just don't get it. I've warned you both several times in public threads and via polite private message. I've kept the requests to you simple and given you examples. Even with your supposed 'helping' the moderators with the above posts you both know exactly what you are doing... mocking and ignoring the requests the moderator team has made of you over and over again to act like adults and carry on a mature conversation without arguing. To stop flaming and name calling. To stop talking back to moderators.
You have both received your final warning and wasted enough of our time. You are no longer welcome here on ClubLexus. Do not attempt to rejoin under another screen name or further actions will be taken including notification to your ISP of your breach in our terms of service and forum rules. We have been fairly successful in having service removed in the past.
