I'll second the BMW niche is the smaller performance-oriented luxury and perfect handling/balance/control.
 
During my test of the'07 A8, I realized I was undeniably spoiled by the 3-series nimble feel vs. the refined but cumbersome handling of the A8 which left me very neutral to the appeal that size class. I am sure the 7 was no more controllable due to added weight but I have never driven the 7.

Despite the great reviews on this board regarding the Prius, I can't get past the looks. I could NEVER buy it due to the exterior design. I am being very respectful since some might be purchasing it in the very near future.
 
It just is not for me.
 
The Fisker, OTOH, is right down my tailpipes!

Good article. I've read many rave reviews about the new Prius though some are more lukewarm like the headline from Autoweek:
 
2010 Toyota Prius: More efficiency--but still boring to drive
 
link title
 
Isn't that a revelation? What was this journalist expecting a Porshce 911 or a $100K Telsa?

I now have 2 Lexi and 3 MBs in the family fleet.
 
Congratulations on a great car and a great deal.
 
You are now officially the owner of the most Mercedes Benzes in this forum. Unfortunately you cannot change your forum name Garyh1 to Merc1 since that name has already been taken

I'm not doubting their coming down our throats, but 'cool?' More like propeller-headed dink-mobiles
 
I think there is something very cool and sexy about the Prius and that is all the engineering efforts that have been put into a car within that price range.
 
And yes geekiness can be cool as well as sexy.
 
Think of a vivacious geeky librarian with large framed glasses and her hair tightly tied up(and no I am not talking about that Republican Alaskan Governor).

Dewey,
  
Sorry, but hybrids don't make me think Claudia circa 90's, but more recent ads for Ellen for Covergirl....

The appropriate handle would be Merc3, no?

Sounds fine to me.
I am thinking of changing my name to DrFill2 in order to reflect my new positive views on both Toyota and Lexus.
