Thank's to all for your opinions and personal preferences. I just have one question for Careener re the " US 550i with its $58,500 price tag "? Is there any place in Canada that sells at or near this price? I think most of the brands mentioned (if not all) are excellent picks. How can you go wrong with cars like BMW - Mercedes - Porsche - Audi (order not relevant)? I wish this US pricing would hold true across the board whether you are buying a $18,000 Corolla or a $120,000 BMW M5. Perhaps the price of cars would one day follow the exchange rate and would fluctuate just like currency exchange rates.
