BMW has an implied image to most people. Saying you own a 5 series made those in the know nod their head. The frame was welded aluminum and even after 8+ years showed almost no rust. Buyers of the car were amazed and bought it after a short drive. see full BMW 5-Series review |

BMW drivers are universally despised. Just Google "BMW drivers" to see what I mean. They are thought to have almost malicious disregard for anyone but themselves, as well as for any traffic laws. see full BMW 5-Series review |

Every night I hear the Buick slogan. You have no idea how many customers get in the car and say"THAT'S not a buick!" Yes it is. Trust me. I bought it. And no, I'm not old. I'm 26. I'm far from old. Mind you, it isONLYold people who claim old people drive buicks. It's the 50 and up crowd who claim they're "old lady cars" without knowing how many youngsters actually drive them. They're not specifically for old people; they're for successful people. People who have made good financial decisions but don't care to flaunt it. People who enjoy comfort and luxury but don't enjoy the flashiness and pretentiousness of a Cadillac, Mercedes, infiniti, or the like. see full Buick Verano review |
