Whats up B! Good to see you here. I use Dgot20s everywhere, but when I logged on to M/B world, I wanted to clearly identify myself as a Lexus owner, thus ARISTO. I registered here along time ago, so "trolling" is obviously not my bag.

My original reason for registering here was to gather info on the 00-01 E320, which I was thinking of buying (are a pretty good value in the used car market).

If any of you guys cruise over to Club Lexus, I'm Dgot20s over there!

Its good to see there are decent people on both boards.

So, who wants to GIVE me a E55? C'mon guys, 20" HREs, RB Tech Lowering, Audio/Visual package, etc etc.

THAT would be a nice welcome!
Sounds good D! I'm just gonna look for info on the e320. ehehe

EDJ, remember that Lexus doesn't exist in Japan, it is all Toyota, hence the Toyota badge.

And to answer etenn's question, I wish I knew why those people have to troll on over here. Seems to be a waste of time. But, that is why we have the term troll, because they are everywhere.

I see that EDJ posted a 2nd well thought out and expressed (I thought) post on the Lexus Board.

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/show...threadid=90733

The administrator, DaveGS4, took Joe to task and then closed the thread before any reply could be made

Seems like the tolerance for MB people to discuss the trolling on MB Boards by Lexus members is very limited. At no time did Joe ever trash the Lexus...as a matter of fact he had good things to say...

A very strange mind set on the Lexus Board.

And we're not going at this again, we already reached a consensus about three posts ago that we can all get along.

That's a picture of the Japanese car and its a Toyota over there, note the name on the front plate, that's the nameplate for the japanese. The picture does represent the new 04 LS for the US as well. Not bad.

I don't own a Lexus, but I want to thank them for kicking MB's *** and getting them to be a better car maker. I mean, look at MB before Lexus came along. If it weren't for Lexus and other competition, MB wouldn't have any gizmos it has now. And their designs would be very boring. Remeber when everyone bashed Lexus and their intrument panels, now MB has them, massage chairs, double pane windows. All of these are a direct result of trying to out do Lexus. And I for one thank them because it has made MB more competitive.
