Replying to: designman (Sep 16, 2006 3:04 pm) (cars) is always done is bland colors?? ie: When you buy a ANY car today the interior (and most of the time) the exterior looks like a "Luxury Lounge" for "The almost dead"? I haven't seen a 2007 car that has a good looking color scheme yet. 98% of all new car interiors are egg shell, gray, black tan, etc. NO red, blue, yellow Green. I used to drive Cadillac's back in the 70's and 80's. I could get any color of leather I wanted. They were very nice. Not just all Bland! I have not bought a new car in years and I'm not going to until I can get an interior that doens't scream (undertaker) evertime you get in! What's the problem? The only Lexus with any color is the 430 with the camel interior. No colors, no sale! CK |

Replying to: clarkkent (Nov 19, 2006 11:28 am) Here in Phoenix a huge percentage of the cars are (in order) white, silver, gold (or variant), black, then (finally) something I would consider driving. Some lux brands offer a real red and (of course) they all offer black, but generally the choices leave me cold. I've been forced to first pick the vehicle I like, then pick the colour I dislike the least for the last two cars. The next one will probably be red, which (as this is written) is still available for the three I'm most seriously considering. Botttom line -- medium-high-dollar people (the $100K+ people get exactly what they want & aren't part of this discussion) are pretty conservative & the car colours follow. Many appear to hold their fingers to the wind to determine what's "in," then acquire accordingly. Sounds like you & I aren't in that group.

Replying to: clarkkent (Nov 19, 2006 11:28 am) 1 Cost. It costs alot of money to build multiple interior and multiple exterior colors. 2 Customer preference. Most Lux customers don't want bright or garish colors on their cars. They prefer a more subdued appearance. Same reason you don't see any Lavender or bright Red suits at Brooks Bros. 3 Resale. Odd color cars are harder to resell. Most of the bright colors tend to be trendy and don't age well. We had a purple Mini Conv at a time when the car was very hard to get. It sat on our lot forever. Had it been Black or Silver we would have sold it right away. |

The normal car is huge! The bigger version is really huge! The drive is very nice! It feels like a smaller sports sedan... the luxury and feel of the car is great! I was impressed!!!! Lots of buttons... a little confusing at first! LS Test Drive Video/Photos and more |

I just purchased a 1990 735i for my daughter ...I went to open the door to turn on the car to let the battery charge and the key won't open either door. The battery is dead and I can't get the door open. Does anyone have a clue as to what the heck is going on. thanks Stacy
