Default Interesting reading for BMW / Lexus?

Interesting read....

Wonder if Aussie testing reflects similar results?

And hows this for a speeding excuse "The floor mat did it!"???

Yep, finally I've got something to show a German mate at work how "great" German and Japanese cars are.

Did you read the article? Acura RL and Merc E Class were amongst the highest rated.
