'03 Camry VS '03 Lexus ES300 VS '03 Mercedes E320

One of these will be my next car by the end of the year. Which one is the best as far as economic sense, style, and performance go?

but you can't relaly compare with the mercedes tho.....pretty diff from jap cars....depends on your own preference...

If u got the money go to the Benz, personally i would Lex or Toyo. for ECO and Style Camry, but ES <--- VVTi. But personally if i had the money i would Diff get Benz. if i dint i would get the Camry XLE fully loaded navi and all. in the end camry come out cheaper i think then the ES so that's my opinion.

Why not go get a test drive all 3 of them and see which you like best??? For the ES/Camry it's mostly personal preferences.

mm.. if you can afford a E320, why aren't you considering GS430, instead of a ES320.. they are in the same price range.. GS430 is more powerful and is a lexus.. I personally would pick GS430

you cant even compare the camrry and es300. they are totoally different cars. the interior is plain ugly in the new camry. the es300's design is overall better inside and out. Yes, fit and finish in both is great, but overall the es300 is a lot nicer. For you, id pick the accord v6 sedan. Its interior is great, powerful engine, and looks decent(except rear end). And is priced right. The camry desperately needs help inside.... badly. period.

The pics wil show this:

Accord EX V6


Camry XLE V6


The camry's dash is too domestic... looks like a cheap buick. Those are both top of the line models, and look how much nicer the accord looks. The Accord can do anything the Camry can and better, for now atleast.
