It's a shame LEXUS is slipping a bit - but with some new products such as more hybrid cars, they will be back dominating the Germans in a few years. If I drove, I'd want a LEXUS!

This report seems totally wrong. Bloomberg is reporting the opposite. BMW sold 2715 more cars then MB.

Sorry to say... but here in California, USA.... a BMW is known as a "Poor man's Mercedes"..... if you have the money.. but a Benz or Lexus.. but not BMW.... Poor people trying to pretend they are rich = Buy a BMW

I am not surprised. BMW and Mercedes Benz have been around a bit longer than Toyota. The latter has made huge strides forward, but the Lexus still lacks the aura and prestige that the high end German competitor models have.
