Cool BMW, M5 !!!

For SUV I would choose the Lexus RX300. My wife will not drive anything other than Mercedes.

Me too, because the previous car is not safe to drive. It succumbed to rust.

im confused why with a few here it seems that if you werent driving your $50K, you would instead be driving a $70K car, if this is the case, why didnt you opt for a larger engine in your benz if you can afford it? just curious....

When the Coupe was bought, I was also cross shopping the Infiniti G35, Jeep Liberty, Audi A4 1.8t, and the BMW 325 xi.

I had it narrowed down to the 2003 Boxster, 2000 Jaguar SK8, 2002 Corvette convertible or an 2000 M3 convertible when I decided to go for the Benz. All the extras added up to best overall value. Then I decided I didn't want used and couldn't quite afford to lease a new Vette convertible (about $800/month in my area, then another $800 for insurance every month). I went to Porsche and almost EVERYTHING was an option when it was standard on the SLK, then I found out the Porsche was actaully 3 tenths of a second slower!!!! I KNEW I wanted a convertible and there was no changing that. The hardtop and the free routine maintenance really sold me though!!! The day after I even started to CONSIDER the SLK, I went and ordered my 03 But I guess all in all, I'd be driving an 03 Boxster if I didnt go with the SLK. Because I definitely wanted a brand new car....
