Replying to: esf (May 03, 2008 3:26 pm) If I want a PS3 on wheels I'll get my neighbor's daughter's 328i. But if I want a track ready car that can also be my daily driver I'll take a bone stock M3 without a blink. 1. I don't think so. Go to your local BMW dealership and see what they quote you on a loaded 335i. Keep in mind that the price they quote you on is without any negotiation and there are still plenty of rooms for it to go down. 2. If that is true, how does it not apply to a similarly-priced S4? Is the S4 a limited supply model or a mainstream one like the 335i?

Replying to: esf (May 03, 2008 3:34 pm) I have to agree with you here. I also do not see what's wrong with ES being the glorified Camry, if there are people who want it then give it to them. I guess Lexus is just tired of being made fun of it for having a "Camry" in its lineup... I seriously don't know what exactly Lexus' plan is for the RWD ES but it should be interesting to find out. |

Replying to: louiswei (May 05, 2008 8:06 am) I agree. Why not let the ES just be a better made Buick, if that's what customers want?

Replying to: circlew (May 05, 2008 8:44 am) Lexus will just point you to the IS. They offered an adaptive suspension option in the last ES to make it marginally sportier, and nobody ordered it so it was dropped for this one. The reason they have two models at the entry-lux level is so that one of them can be a sports sedan and the other can be a boat. Making a sporty ES is pointless.

Replying to: lexusguy (May 05, 2008 2:23 pm) Okay, maybe the IS can use a more roomier back seat next time... |

Replying to: louiswei (May 05, 2008 7:59 am) You don't. You have a Lexus IS350.  Go to your local BMW dealership and see what they quote you on a loaded 335i. Keep in mind that the price they quote you on is without any negotiation and there are still plenty of rooms for it to go down. The 335i is in high demand. You would be hard-pressed to pick up a new one, loaded, for less than $50K. You could try, and if it works, lucky you, but I wouldn't count on it. Is the S4 a limited supply model or a mainstream one like the 335i? You would be surprised at how many S4's are usually at my dealer. S5 is a different story, but the S4 is not an incredibly exclusive car. You won't see as many as you see 3 Series, but you could definitely go to your Audi dealer today and pick up a B7 for $45K with little negotiation. You did say late-model 335i, right? Now, before you come out with a rebuttal, I'd like to say this argument is officially over, because it isn't going to go anywhere anyway.

Replying to: esf (May 05, 2008 4:12 pm) LOL S5 is a different story, why is the S5 taking so long if someone orders 1 I have heard anywhere from 4 to 10 months
