Really, the BMW is too exspensive to repair and breaks frequently and the better option is a Jaguar? exscuse me for a moment while I :lolling: :lolling: :rotfl :lolling: :lolling: :rotflmao :rotflmao

Okay better now.

Why large 5 passenger sedan when you could have large 8 passenger SUV? Get a Sequoia Limited 4x4. We went to Sedona and back over the weekend and got 16 mpg on the trip (not bad for 5900lbs of car). The Sequoia parks like a car and drives like a car, stops like a truck. 0-60 is mid/low 6 seconds it beats your precious BR-Z in a straight line. 381 hp 400lb of torque 5.7 V8 is nice. Its 4x4 and quite capable, 4.10 gears both ends with locking diff's and a center lock for the transfer case that has high and low 4x4. You can engage 4 hi by turning a dial at any speed under 60 mph and it locks the hubs and diffs for you. We have had a Seqouia since 2006 and I can see myself buying a new one every 5-7 years for the rest of my life. Oh and nothing NOTHING ever ever breaks.
