I feel old and insulted

[Jon Linkov]

I didn't mention driving, just the interior appointments and trim. The Lexus
is not sporty at all and it is cramped and tiny inside. But it no longer
looks like a Camry or Avalon with some nicer bits. It actually appears to be
its own design.

I think you'll enjoy the M...it's surprisingly agile and nimble for what is
really a large car.
