Joan Sher, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., real estate agent, switched over last month when she gave up her Mercedes GL450 sport utility vehicle for a loaded-out Genesis.
How do you go from a jeep to a sedan? Maybe this is a hint that some people were getting things that weren't necessarily needed . .

Well I actually read an article about Real Estate agents a long while back and they specifically select luxury cars to make them look more presentable and prestigious (basically improves their image and first impressions) when taking people to see houses and such. So it doesn't surprise me that she would buy an SUV (especially a luxury Mercedes SUV) as it gives off a certain image.

These days, I am not knocking any car. Hyundai is becoming a force to be reckoned with. The quality, the price, the amenities, the warranty, all are coming way up to par.

BMW offering a 50K mile no upkeep cost is a major selling point. I got to thinking..what does MB offer as a major selling point at present? I mean really?

Just a thought.
