Thats more Merc and Lexus territory then. I would also look into Acura and Infiniti vehicles since they come with a lot of standard features and have a lot to offer at entry luxury prices except they don't have as prestigious of a badge.
2008 Mercedes 300
2008 Lexus IS 250
2008 BMW 3 Series
Please to elaborate...

May not get you the pussy, or envy of others...but Hyundai is coming out with some very nice, and very well reviewed cars lately. If i wouldn't have just bought my wife an Infiniti, i would be buying a Hyundai most likely.
You could get a nice Genesis (bigger and much more amenities) for what you would be spending on a base line 300, 3series or lexus.
Man that Genesis sedan looks like they took a BMW...Infiniti...and Lexus and mashed it all together...
I agree, but it is a really nice, and very sound car. Read a little about it. i was surprised when i read all the reviews and comments.
more luxury, electronic gadgets, reliability and better pricing than Merc/BMW
but if you're like me and like to drive the out of it, BMW is my choice
I had my little 2002 Jetta GLS 1.8t a few years back with the windows rolled down and the sunroof open. I'm at a light and take off like I normally do (quick on the acceleration but not flooring it as I had my son in the car). I hear this engine just really going and changing gears very quickly on my left and realize the car next to me is really accelerating from the light. I look down just as I hit 45 (my normal cruising speed on this particular road) and finally the car next to me passes me up.
Then it dawned on me. I think the guy was racing me because the engine sure sounded like he was trying to. As he passed me up going 60 I noticed he was driving a 325i. Take the story for what it's worth, but the guy's engine was really revving and he could barely keep up with me. My engine was much quieter and I hadn't even heard the "whistle" of the turbo charger when it kicks in.
I've thrown that Jetta into manual (sport shifting) and really floored it. If this had been a race, I would have destroyed the guy.
I don't know if this was an indictment on the car or the driver (I'd have to say driver imo) but it was startling that this "sportier" luxury car was struggling to keep up with my Jetta under normal driving conditions.
Anyway, I'd say go with the Lexus. It's a freaking Toyota for christsakes and those things are reliable as . Personally, I'd prefer an Acura or an Audi. One for reliability and one for sport.
An RS4 would absolutely destroy an M3 btw. Even though both are considered to be in the same class. I've had the pleasure of driving an Audi S8. Absolutely beautiful car with some horsepower to boot.
Well to be honest...I currently own a fully loaded 07 TSX...this was more to see how people viewed these 3 cars...with everyone putting in their own two cents on likes and dislikes...I was wondering if it would persuade me enough to get me in one...
You are in the wrong forum to ask this kind of question. Look at some of the people here who commented cars are just cars, cars are only meant to transport you from point a to b, entry level luxury cars are for posers.
Go to: my.is, MBWorld.com and e90fanatics.com
and you'll get better comparisons and reasons to get these kinds of vehicles.
Well now you tell me...
So...the C300 is officially out...test drove one yesterday...was EXTREMELY disappointed...the car is solid...sporty...that's about it...for the price...you are extremely low balled on the amenities that come with the car...sure you get sun roof...leather...but the damn thing still had dial knobs for the A/C...the Sports Shifter was side to side...I mean what the ...not up down...or down up...but side to side...nobody shifts side to side...no HID's...Mercedes really doesn't care about their entry level cars...next stop...the Lexus...
well those fanboys at thos sites will swear their car (either MB or BMW) is the best thing in the world. So I don't think their opinion really counts
