Did you get it much below sticker price? I'm wondering if in this bad economy higher end car makers are dropping their price that much.

I got it right in between sticker and invoice. They're not offering as much incentive as some of the Japanese makers (or US of course), but the 1.9% rate made it far more competitive even with a little less discount.

It's great time to shop for high end toys. This guy picked up brand new '08 Lambo Gallardo Spyder for $160k. Basically $100k off MSRP. Used Ferrari 360 Modena are going for $75-90k. Used 355 are going for $45-60k. My cousin is shopping for 360 Modena and when he finds one, he's going to sell his Viper to me for super cheap.

I still :heart: the 355 and would very much love to own one, even more so than the 360.

$100k off the Gallardo? Damn.

You have a BMW but you opted to skip the X5? Traitor.

Yeah. I'm not leaving BMW though. As I think I said in an earlier post, to me both makes have a very similar feel that the Japanese and American vehicles don't. So, it was less of an issue for me.

The X5 was just too big for us. I can't say I liked it more, especially since the GLK320 is really a competitor to the X3. For me, the GLK320 beats the X3 on a variety of levels. I just wanted something that drove as close to a sedan as possible but that had just enough extra space to make it worthwhile. I think the GLK320 achieves that (and so do many of the other similarly sized vehicles).

The X3 in its current form... yes, I agree with the GLK choice, but the 2010 X3 is getting a major overhaul. I also think the Q5 is smexy but unsure why you considered the Q7 instead (size). Anyway, grats on the new car.

I just don't like the styling of the X3, even the '10 one. We had one for about a week as a service loaner, and it just didn't move me.

I'll humbly admit that the styling of the GLK320 is what really got my attention. Some like it, some don't. I love it.

Nice ride, my parents are thinking about getting after their rx330's lease is up. Maybe we can get an "Ignore Haters" plugin when vBulletin roles out.
