z, the infinit hp is deceiving. It does not reflect in real-world acceleration. It may be the tranny that sucks. If you can wait 'till this summer you should be able to pick up any 5 series BMW for below dealer cost (>$10K off msrp ) since a new one will be arriving in 2003. C

Z, I also like the Audi A4. It's a less expensive alternative to a BMW, and it has a lot of great features, like the Tiptronic transmission (found in Porches, Passats), and the Quattro All-Wheel Drive system, which performs great in hazardous weather. Here's a start, if you want to research it. autos.yahoo.com wbmw (or in this case waudi?) ;-)

Sea of Silence - Re: ". I like the look of the Acura a bit more, but objectively, the Infiniti has a couple of better features- 30 more horsepower and it's a bit larger..." In real world tests, Acura's QuantiHorsePower rating provides better results than the Infiniti Real Horsepower numbers. The Acura has a better heating system, providing a much higher temperature for passengers, but requires a huge radiator to keep the engine temperature within acceptable ranges - which is about 20 degrees hotter than the Infiniti's. The Acura does have some stability problems - around tight turns - but most Acura owners accept this as a necessary evil.
