Replying to: dewey (Mar 27, 2009 7:53 pm) The car in the pic is Edmunds' long termer A4 Avant, though the rest of the line is basically the same. The S cars and the R8 V10 have white needles, while curiously the RS6 uses standard red needles. |

Gary - best of luck. There were some phenomenal S-class deals in November on 2008 leftovers and it sounds like you got an eveb better deal than any of them. So far this GL is flawless and I couldn't be happier with it. But I do miss that Lexus nav system. Hopefully MB steps that up a lot in the future.

Replying to: dewey (Mar 27, 2009 7:41 pm) The NY Times has this review of the Prius in the Sunday auto section. I'm a subscriber so I got the supplement today and just read it and it's now online so I linked it below. I think you'll like the review and incredibly the author got 69mpg on a 34 mile trip with a pulse and glide driving technique. I gotta tell you I'm even getting interested in this car now. If you read the link, click on the graph for a look at many hybrids. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/automobiles/autoreviews/29AUTO.html?_r=1&scp=2- - &sq=toyota%20prius&st=cse |

Replying to: ljflx (Mar 28, 2009 4:58 pm) Yeah, that cooktop is awesome. We like those special "extra low" setttings on 2 of the six burners that automatically cycle the gas burners on and off when you need to keep something warm indefinitely without ever burning it... ours is only six burners because there is also a large built-in griddle. It's also got those infra red warming lights built into that huge exhaust hood... and the warming drawer on the side. Like you, have the extra tap at the sink with reverse-osmosis filtration... also provides filtered "instant hot". We like having a cool kitchen... lots of time spent there. But I've got to tell you... my favorite areas are my Bar-B-Que & outdoor entertainment Cabana, which is absolutely amazing beyond your imagination... and also my home theater system, which is very good, although starting to show a little age, with some of these very latest devices that have come to market. When I move, I will miss my Bar-B-Que / entertainment Cabana the most. Hopefully, I will build another similar setup one day. TM |

Replying to: bmlexus (Mar 28, 2009 6:29 pm) Bmlexus, I paid $62.5k. Original '07 sticker was $101.8k, an '09 would sticker at about $104k. Car had 26k miles - but the Mercedes Certified Pre-Owned program gave it brand new tires, new brakes, and a complete 26k miles "B" service (including oil change, new brake fluid, cabin filter, etc.). So it's about as close to new as you can get. |

Replying to: ljflx (Mar 28, 2009 4:58 pm) I agree - the thing I miss the most about the Lexus is the touch screen interface, especially for the NAV system. But I sure don't miss the legal screen that required a touch of the "I Agree" button on my '05 LS. And the handling of the S is really superior to my LS. And I think your 460L is almost as big as the S550 (maybe an inch smaller?). So you're probably well-adapted by now to the size increase over your old LS. It's really interesting to see people now so willing to cross over between the German vs. Japanese manufacturers. We've come a long way from the oac vs. Merc wars, haven't we? I now have 2 Lexi and 3 MBs in the family fleet. And I still would love to hear designman's opinion on the new 7 series....
