    Well im big fan of Lexus LX570 since i live in middle east ( Qatar ) which have alot of dessert lands and sand dunes. I drove the old G ( W463 ) and never liked it. I can say its night and day difference between the old and the new G. More refined, much better fuel consumption, better handling and much lighter than the predecessor. I couldnt resist and order mine but waited long time to receive mine( 9 months of waiting ).

    IMHO its the best SUV in the market right now.

    I have a 2008 LX 570. Currently 254,000 miles. Bought almost new. Changed the water pump at 210K, that's it, other than brakes and tires and batteries. Dogs have worn out the seats a bit.

    Most reliable car I've ever owned (I'm 53)
    And it drives great with proper AWD. I've surprised many on the twisties. I seriously, seriously love this car.

    Love hearing the miles!
    Always had heard the handling was sloppy?

    100%

    I agree with you

    No one can beat Toyota in reliability term.

    I've heard this before, but it's not true. It rolls a little, and then takes a good set with plenty of traction and AWD characteristics, very progressive and easy to drive very fast

    Destroyed the Pista. The Pista really struggles to get off the line at the carwow runway.

    I have this car as my daily. It’s great, except for the brake squeal. I have to find a solution for it or I’m getting rid of the car. It’s abhorrently loud.

    I’ve had a Panamera GTS, and most recently two e63 AMG’s. Had m3’s when I was younger and loved them.. wasn’t ever able to afford the m5 back then.

    If you’ve ever driven AMG variant, do you think I would love the M5 as my next DD?

    Fwiw it was one of my favorite cars I've ever owned, my favorite dd for sure, and I really regret selling mine. :(

    I had a 2018 E63S wagon.

    It was a great car but a lot more limited. It has one personality, even in its most comfortable mode it is raw and brutal. In S+ mode shifts are harsh and the whole thing is uncomfortable, but in a good way. In S+ it basically drives like a GT-C.

    The M5C is not only faster, but allows for a broader range of driving dynamics. You can set it to almost Cadillac Eldorado mode, or you can set it to light your hair on fire mode. Faster and more versatile make it a much better car imho.

    Was using a '19 GT-R as my daily and about to sell it for a M2C or TTRS or Porsche 718 GTS. But the more I think about it, the more I'm pondering just using the 458 as my only car. It's a super low milage example and I have consternations about putting it into regular service, but how much depreciation will I incur vs the cost of running a 65-100K daily driver with all the ancillary expenses. Starting to think cherish the things that make us happy and make hay while the sun is shining. The 458 in bumpy road mode is more comfortable than most of the daily drivers I've had over the years here in NYC and I already have a set of OEM Ninja Star with snow tires...

    Couldn’t agree more on the M5 Comp. Also has some great pops and gurgles on the downshifts when driven in anger. Really enjoyed my CTS-V too.

    I have a 2019 Audi RS5 with an APR Plus tune. Great car but I just don't love it.

    Gave the RS5 to my 73 yr old mother and ordered a Porsche Taycan Turbo last week with insulated glass and the Burmester stereo. Cant wait to take delivery!
