When you buy a car, any car, are you buying the name or how well it's built?

Dude, you are crazy...not only is my SL500 smooth as glass on the road but it can take sharp turns at like 80 mph without body roll, fully accelerate in the rain without tire spin, reach top speeds over 160 mph, fully built in roll cage/roll bar AND it's convertible, one of the safest in the entire world actually..not to mention the real wood trim and soft supple german leather, and you mention reliability? lmao, the 5.0L 32 valve V8 is known to go 200-300k miles without any major rebuild and is a nearly bullerproof engine..it just keeps going just like your toyotas do, but with ALOT more horsepower and torque..now granted it's no rice burner and it drinks gas like my ex g/f drank man milk but I'd take a Mercedes SL series from the late 90's or early 2000's over ANY lexus/toyota rice burner!

When you get broad-sided in the intersection by some drunk maniac who runs the red light would you rather be in a big heavy german built mercedes or a tin can toyota? yeah, thought so!
