Mr. Dssxxx: While I haven't had a chance for an extended drive in the LS 460 I think I buy Lexus because of it's comfort and more important it's reliability. So, not being in my 20's anymore, I go for "softness" as long as it drives competently. Also, I'm tired of hearing my friends with their pretty BMW's and MB complaining about constant problems and numerous repairs at snobbish dealers. I've owned a 2000 Porsche and they are fun on the exact right twisty road but a horror on normal streets and highways. Give me soft anytime. Mr. Cheng, I think you need to analize your reasons for getting a whopping 12 new Lexuses over just 4 years! I think I was right in saying that the joy (especially for you) of getting a new car only lasts a few months and then whatever neurosis you have starts the endless desire something newer. I doubt you will ever be happy until you (and many here) come to grips with that simple fact and find some inner peace. At least Mr. Dssxxxx kept his for 3 years which may be a carryover from earlier times when cars started to have problems in that time frame.

Well for whatever reason or neurosis I may have - I did, in fact, trade my 02 LS430 for an 05 LS430, because the 05 had Bluetooth, Cooled seats, Rear View Camera, Park Assist, LED taillights, projector headlights, rear window shade, all of which my 02 didn't have. And, odds are, I'll trade the 05 for an 08 LS460L, because I can, and because I work hard, and because my company pays for it, and because it'll have a hard drive for my music, a plug for my I-pod, Self Parking, which I'll probably NEVER use, a prettier exterior and a much prettier interior, and more horsepower, and an 8 speed transmission....and on and on and on..... I do this unapologetically too.  I must be stupid.....

Replying to: dan67 (Jan 12, 2007 8:15 am) Hello , Happy Holiday Sir : Re : Analysis of buying multiple Lexus automobiles over short periods of time . Your Quote : I think I was right in saying that the joy (especially for you) of getting a new car only lasts a few months and then whatever neurosis you have starts the endless desire something newer. I doubt you will ever be happy until you (and many here) come to grips with that simple fact and find some inner peace. At least Mr. Dssxxxx kept his for 3 years which may be a carryover from earlier times when cars started to have problems in that time frame. The above may or may not be true . HOWEVER : THERE IS A DISEASE KNOWN AS " LEXITIS " lexitis effects individuals , or clusters of individuals ; AKA : groups of "LEXI'S" , that must fulfill a NEED TO OWN MULTIPLE lEXUS AUTOMOBILES IN A CONDENSED TIME SPACE , only to be described as a " living dream " . It is yet to be "proven" if the there are Lexus cars in the next life to " experience " with effection , or dislike . the only medication for "lexitis" is to acquire new models as they come off the line . eventually , the disease runs it's course after time , or a horrendous dealer experience . mitchellrowe |
