Eric, excellent explanation and comparison but as porsche4life stated those others cars are simple plain Jane cars, I'm not saying that the Lexus is a better choice but I think that is most attractive one in my opinion, I drove the Ford Fusion yesterday and is nice but is just unattractive just like the others you mentioned, the Lexus even have the F type
. I'm just looking for something a little different. Don't forget the Audi A3 which everyone is choosing rather than the Lexus.
It was ironic that I meet an older lady at the Lexus dealership and she has the same dilemma all other cars they just look boring
