I've been looking for a new "road car," and so far, I've not found
anything that compete with some of the Japanese brands. Took a look at a
new "5" series BMW and a couple of Audis, but they didn't do much for me.

Pound for pound, buck for buck, the BMW 5 series is one of the finest
automobiles being built.
And Audi isn't bad either.

I recently got rid of my Boxster and bought an Audi A6 Quattro. I
needed back seats, and based on the A6 my wife had for a while
(company car) I really liked the Audi. It's probably the safest car
on the road, and is still fun to drive.

She's in a Lexus 460 right now. Luxury, comfort, power, bells &
whistles it has, but no soul. It's like driving your sofa down the
road.

The president of the company I work for races Porsches, and is a car
guy. He's had BMW's, Porsche's and Audi's. He drove an Acura RL for
a while, and complained about it being no fun. He's back in an
Audi... an S6 with the V10. That's one bad-assed car. :-)
