Steptronic Supercharged October 7, 2011 Share October 7, 2011 (edited) Hello friends, it is time for me to change as there is uncertainity around Mazda and COE here. Car is getting 2 years now. Since there is no obvious Japanese car for me this time (driven CRV, Cefiro earlier), thinking of exploring Conti for a change (my wife is holding me back from those contis). But, sort of convincing her. My choice is in the order they are appearing in the Poll. Thanks for taking the poll.

Cerano 1st Gear October 7, 2011 Share October 7, 2011 Usually im with the MB but in this case, you are comparing different classes. Go for the F10 i say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp66 5th Gear October 7, 2011 Share October 7, 2011 My choice is the new GS300/GS450H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourth 2nd Gear October 7, 2011 Share October 7, 2011 Look at my avatar you will know. Some more it is in your first choice in poll. No right or wrong, just go with your heart. But better test drive first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptronic Supercharged October 7, 2011 Author Share October 7, 2011 My choice is the new GS300/GS450H Thanks bro, I excluded Lexus for the simple reason that it is considered to be Toyoto-ish....To be frank, I always liked Japanese brands. But this time, there is no obvious choice from Japan and also COE is so high to justify any Japanese car! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless Clutched October 7, 2011 Share October 7, 2011 I'll recommend new XF or C-class as they are just facelifted, 523i is too common on the road le. XF looks better imo. onli down side for XF would be it's road tax... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
