Lexus is one of the best, if not the best IMO. I tried a Jag, BMW, Mercedes, Acura but Lexus beat ’em all. The exterior styling of some models doesn’t come up to scratch with its European counter-parts, but the interiors do. The Sat Nav isn’t as great as the Acuras, and the IS 250 models drag a bit around town but get ’em on the freeway and they purr. The Jag is basically a Ford, and Beemer and Merc interiors at the low end reflect conservative German styling i.e. little to no flare. Performance wise I’d think they are all much of a muchness, but gas mileage should be a biggy these days, and may be reflected in future resale values. Just my tuppence worth.

I’d think this is more to do with a bubble fever that is still gripping Canada. When local bubble markets reach saturation point, investors start looking further afield. When the bubble bursts, there’s a retreat. Foreigner investors are prone to getting their fingers burnt, because they are either in capital appreciation mode, or fail to take into account exchange rates and other local conditions, or fail to realize the importance of finding reputable property managers. You also need to remember that Americans have been equally active in local housing markets in other countries. Ask a Venetian …if you dare.
