I rent weekly and do see many high end cars in the rental garage. Whether they are fully loaded or not, I can't say. Even so, those high end cars are pretty well equipped. There is actually demand for those high end rentals.

On another note, if you guys keep going back and forth, this thread is destined to be locked!

Is that why putting your Jeep on your signature a proper thing to do in the LEXUS forum? Don't answer I'm just pushing your buttons I don;t really care.

I own the Jeep now, which is why I listed it. I haven't listed every car I've ever owned.

we appreciate your strong interest in cars, but don't appreciate the intense sarcasm or thinly veiled insults. please try to stick to facts, and not make it a personal attack or get defensive.

if you have any issues with this, you can pm me or another moderator.

thank you.

Without a doubt. The handling on the 3 series was amazing. And I love my IS350 but bmw is all about that engine and handling.
