The new Lexus's do look alot like the BMW's.
First time I saw a new G350 I thought it was a 5 series.
Same thing with the new Lexus LS...Looks like the 7 Series.
<------- would probably buy the lexas for better reliability and resale since they look alike:D

Never thought the GS looked anything like the 5 series, but I do agree with you on the LS looking like the 7 and the better reliability and resale.

I would love to own a 550I/M5 but the resale on the german cars is terrible.
My dad has been getting boned by MBZ for along time and keeps going back.
shoot my mom just lost her ass on a Audi A6 4.2 Quatro (Sticker was 62K in 03 and she got 26K when she traded it in last month with 24K miles on the clock)

give it a year or two and Kia or Hundia will have a similar version as well.
