It's totally relevant.... There is a lot more to a car than dimensions and straight-line acceleration.   If you've driven a BMW (ANY BMW), then you'd understand what the driving hype is all about. For those who have never driven, then you just see it as a big price premium.   Driving any Toyota versus any BMW is like Night versus Day.

If you are buying from a practical standpoint just buy 3 or 4 Yaris in case one is in the garage being fixed. Personally, the status image has nothing to do with it, I could have bought almost any car I wanted (and I don't even like to be driving a status symbol). I chose the X3 because it has the most room, best looks, best performance, most safety features, and is the best car I have ever driven (and that includes a lot of rental cars). Nothing wrong with being practical, but, if you enjoy the ride and the experience is important go for the X3, you only live once. Replies to this message: designman (Dec 20, 2005 9:05 am)

Replying to: bdr127 (Dec 19, 2005 1:36 pm) Oh...I get it. Nothing drives like a BMW. So it would be superfluous to compare a BMW to any model. Don't bother to cross-shop anything. Just go out and buy that Bimmer. And God forbid anyone with the nerves to suggest an alternative. Replies to this message: kdshapiro (Dec 20, 2005 4:28 am) bodble2 (Dec 20, 2005 11:08 am)

Replying to: bodble2 (Dec 19, 2005 11:30 pm) "Oh...I get it. Nothing drives like a BMW"   I don't understand why on one you you say it's superflous to compare a BMW to anything, on the other hand you say a Sante Fe is not in the same league as the new RAV4? Can't have it both ways.   You can cross shop anything you want, and if one is looking for basic transportation I wouldn't get the X3 or the RAV4. Basic transportation is available in the range of $15K.   I think you would have had more success if you said the FX35 is an alternative. The new RAV4 will be all Toyota, unfortunately.
