Replying to: kivi (Apr 03, 2007 5:26 am) Did you drive a 535Xi? Or is that what you were considering based on driving a 530i/530Xi? Reason I ask is I didn't think the 535's were out yet, although you can apparently order them. Thanks Bruce

Replying to: tayl0rd (Apr 03, 2007 10:21 am) The RL isn't a sports sedan. There was a test (I think it may have been on Fifth Gear with the Honda Legend badge) where it was on a race track, and it was all body roll and tire-squealing understeer. The "super-handling" bit just keeps it from having atrocious understeer. Audi is able to disguise the A6's FWD nature, but Acura hasn't really learned that trick. |

Replying to: drtravel (Apr 03, 2007 2:10 pm) Lexus GS 2,103 Interesting, that may be the M's best month yet.

Replying to: lexusguy (Apr 03, 2007 2:27 pm) M sales are up merely 1.5 percent for March and down year to date by about 6 percent compared to 06 figures. What is interesting is that every single car in the LSP segment is faced with declining or at best stagnant sales. Are buyers flocking to smaller sibling models like the BMW 3 and Infinti M. Apparently that seems to be the case.

Replying to: dewey (Apr 03, 2007 4:30 pm) In the case of the BMW 3 vs. 5, there is the small matter of the fact that the 3er got the new engines months before the 5. My guess is that once the 528i and 535i hit the streets, sales will pick up. Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: dewey (Apr 03, 2007 4:30 pm) Perhaps, but 2700 is still a very good month for Infiniti. Its usually neck and neck with the GS, but they hammered Lexus this month. That "not that reliable for a Lexus" report from CR certainly can't be helping the Lexus, especially when the M is CR's all-star luxury car.

Replying to: shipo (Apr 03, 2007 5:08 pm) BMW M5 sales dropped 66 percent to hit a grand total of 128 cars for March. Wonder if there is a supply issue and God-forbid if it is a demand issue. I mean the new Audi RS6 isn't even selling yet.
