As I'm starting my new career in the real estate industry, I've decided to trade my pdg 01 CLS in for a 4 door sedan.
Here are some different options:

03 Infiniti M45 w/ nav - I've always loved the bold design of it and I could prolly get it for a good price.

02/03 Lexus GS 430 w/nav - As far as reliability goes, it is the best.

04/05 Acura TL w/nav

02 BMW 5 series w/nav

I'm leaning towards the Lexus/nav with less than 50,000 Kms but I would like to hear what you guys think I should get.

Thanks!!

I like the M45 and also the Q45. The headlights of the Q45 really set it apart from the rest of the crowd.

My favorite is still the Lexus LS430 for import luxury. Something about that car just does it for me.

All good choices! Yeah I'd go with the Lex or Acura.

Stealth CL

Just cut out 2 more doors on the CL and...problem solved

You can get a BRAND NEW (0 miles) TL With Navi for like 32,xxx. I'd do that. Theres to much on my CL that I know would carry over to a TL that i just cant do without now. My second choice would have to be a 1st gen M45, those things are sick, plus NO ONE has one!

TL Lots a bang for the buck.

I think so too. Depends on the individual and his/her use of the vehicle though. Mild mods and reliability and gadgets...yeah, the TL.

Not to mention a BEAUTIFUL interior.

absoutely GORGEOUS interior

The TL interior is really nice, and the car looks badass overall. Only thing I don't like is how the back windows were designed. Makes it really hard to back that car up 'cause you can't see shit! Good thing I can't afford one...

Thanks guys. Well, it'll be another couple months for the upgrade and as I'm trying to spend less than 40k CAD, brand new TL w/ nav isn't one of my options ($45,xxx up in Canada while $32,xxx in the States)
I really like the new TL for its design and interior but the thing is that it seems like there are too many people (too many kids) driving those new ones around here.
How reliable are the 03 M45s? Any of you heard good things about them? It's one heck of a bad-ass ride but it's really hard to see one on the road.
Again, I'm leaning towards the Lex.. or maybe Infiniti..

For what it's worth, my parent's have been avid BMW owners for many years with proven reliability. When the Infinity FX 45 came out, they got one. They had problem after problem with it. My mom hated it so they got rid of it a year and a half later and vowed never to own another Infinity again. They are now back to Bimmers and Benzes only. On another note, my 'lil bro has an '04 Murano SL AWD, and he hasn't had a single problem with it to date. My stepdad seems to think Infinity makes their cars "too smart" for their own good. I tend to agree, I'd never buy one.

Don't worry about the kids. They'll always want what's cool anyways. Mod it nicely and they may learn a thing or two from you. You're not on ACURAzine b'cuz you like showroom restored Ford T-models.
