Assuming you can keep it running long enough to drive it to the garage without going broke first

I love the Arnage and even test drove one, but the thoughts of buying replacement parts for a unreliable $300k British car is enough for me to forget about it

Unhappy

Just thought I bump this since I decided to sell my beloved LS (shameless plug). We'll be picking up the Sienna SE and a coupe (eventually, don't which coupe.....).

I can't believe I'm selling it since I had plans on just driving it until the wheels fall off. Definitely the best Lexus ever (besides the LFA ).

I am also thinking a 535i next year, white with brown interior. I am going to lease so reliability won't be an issue, and I really like how the new 5 looks.
Hope I can have a LX570 and a 911 in my garage soon.

Well, my 06 LS430UL is history and I pick-up my 07 SL550 on Monday after some minor detailing issues have been done. Had a hard time leaving her in the MB parking lot. Someone will be getting a really great reliable ride. The SL550 is so much fun to drive with 382hp and will probably take me to my next LS which should hopefully incorporate major changes in 2013.

Good choice. Hope you got the sport package with your SL. After driving the SL, I don't think you will ever go back to the LS.

A friend just bought a 2010 CTS-V, I never considered this car. After driving it for an hour just one thing to say, WOW! Pretty quiet and smooth, nice interior, and when you stand on it, it pins you to the seat like nothing I have ever driven.

At some point a LS460 will replace my LS430, I can't really think of another car I want for a daily driver.

As for the weekend car, maybe a SC or S550...or...Well, if money was no object, I think a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 would be the dream... Wow, just wow...
