BMW 5. The pre-12 C-class cars were accords with Mercedes emblems. The 12 is supposedly nicer but I would wait a couple of years to buy one.

Driving gloves and scarf?

Different classes of cars. Have you looked at a 3series? My sister has a c-class, it's a sweet car for a young professional.

Speaking of Top Gear they felt like the most recent 5 series might be one of the best cars to drive right now

Yes guys at top gear love the M5 Alot. Its the ultimate driving machine. But it's 95,000$.
Mazda fully loaded 6 turbo is 44,000$ max. But again its a BMW. Your paying 40,000$ just for the name.
girls the girls they love me.

A good friend of mine swears by the 5's and says he won't switch until he's old enough for a 7.
He also says only pricks drive 3's.....and in my experience he's been right. Don't buy a 3.

Don't think I can quote on mobile but they were saying the money to go from 5 series to M5 wasn't worth it that the 5 series base was such a great car.
Not dissing the Mazda but the price range is of the Mercedes BMW level.

Well, he's correct on leasing. A typical lease is what, 5 years? You can pay off a 5 series in 4 years or less. They hold their value pretty well so if you so choose, you could sell it in 5 years and upgrade to the 7.

Idk. I just love that 5 series and I mean I could buy it, but I've been under the impression that leasing was better.

He is wrong. A typical lease is 36 or 39 months. If you drive under 15k miles per year, you can get an affordable payment and walk away from the lease in three years with 0 negative equity and no out of pocket expenses. Autos are not appreciable items. If over 15k miles per year though, it is always best to buy.

I'll be living in this car, that is why I am going BMW or Mercedes. Since I don't pay for a house or anything else I want to have a nice car.

Can you tint the windows of a leased vehicle? Can you upgrade the stereo? If it's an SUV, can you add auxiliary lights? Add a roof rack or a safari bar?

I live between Auburn, a townhome my grandmother owns and it is fully paid for. I only pay $38 for utilities a month.
Or Hotels in which the company pays for.

Keep in mind if you want any customization ability you don't need to lease it. The way it is when you drive it off the lot is how it will be the day you return it to the dealership.
