Lexus has been voted as the most reliable car both in Germany and England. Lexus is also producing Diesel for European market which they like. Anyhow Infiniti is also exploring European market right now...and im sure Acura is also. Its only matter of time now. Also, I was stationed in Germany once...believe me when BMW or VW says they sold such and such numbers of cars...they are not referring to 560 SL. Its a compact or sub compact cars they all drive around. There are NO SUVs in Europe! Now its diff. story if you goto Japan. Japanese cars in Japan are light years beyond anything you'll see in Europe. I know i been there..and unless you been there like me..don't even argue with me.
