Maybe MB should have carried over the W203 Sport's steering wheel. I much prefer that one then the current ones in the W204.

I agree with you, Merc1. I'm not fan but Toyota has done really well with the Lexus brand. Didn't they top reliability and quality surveys in the US a couple of years ago and maybe now even??

There is one Lexus that I don't like and that is the ES300. Now that really is a Lexus Camry Grande

Oh God yes, they top all the quality and reliabilty surveys year after year. This has gone on for so long to the point of it being boring now. It has been that way for about 8-10 years including the 2006 surveys.

8-10 years ah? Well, since Lexus mainly want to compete with BMW, MB and Audi, I guess they had to something special to steal sales away from these makes.

However, I prefer a MB anyday!!
