When the Lexus range first came out, it was a fantastic car (good ride, quality everything), wrapped up in a bland shell. It strikes me that BeeEm are solid cars in a flaky body.

I'm not saying the new Bee-Ems don't stand out - they do, but the designs are not coherent or particularly attractive. I think that in the most part prior ranges of the 3/5/7 have had some real class to the design, but now they just seem to be going kinda wierd.

The latest Mercs look fantastic (I've never really been a fan of anything in the range before now). They've evolved the design and kept something special. BMW seem to have missed it.
