Default Other Alternatives

Okay, no pun intended,
but to those who can afford this car, which retails at $76,900CND +PDI and tax, I'm definately sure you can afford the gas and not intending to get this to save on fuel. Instead i'm pretty sure this will be bought for performance, style, bragging rights, and prestige.

May I suggest other alternatives?

why not look at the following too :
  • BMW 550i retails $78,600CND manual trans, you'll get a V8 /w360hp.
  • Next generation E90 BMW M3 SEDAN(Yes SEDAN), you'll have the option to get an SMG and have 400hp from a V8, I think it will retail for about $75,000CND
  • Audi A6 4.2, This is a Big sedan like the Lexus and you'll get AWD, a 4.2L V8 and 335hp. retails for $74,940
  • AUDI S4, Again you'll get AWD a V8 and 340hp. retails at $70,290
  • Mercedes C55 Sport AMG Sedan. Again you'll get a handcrafted 5.5L V8 with 362hp. Priced at $73,600
I'm sure there are more cars out there to look at. But looking to spend this kind of money, i would switch from looking at japanese over to german based models, reliability wont be an issue anyway even though german cars are notorious for the "engine light" being always on headache, anyone who can afford these cars can afford the money to maintain and fix them.
