My parents are buying me a car for christmas and they want to know which one I really want?

I'm stuck between these two

http://www.lexus.com/models/IS/





help!!|||Check online reviews for each one...reviews by actual owners and see what they have to say.|||Check the most recent issue of Consumer Reports car issue. Lexus usually wins over Mercedes hands down. Shoot, almost everything wins over Mercedes. They are temperamental and spend lots of time in the shop.|||Get the Lexus, it is more reliable and will cost you less in repairs than a Mercedes. Besides, the Mercedes is just a status symbol. It doesn't run well.|||omfg! i love that mercedes!!! if your parents can afford it, go for it! i actually think that lexus model looks dull compared to the mercedes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||well i dont know it would not let me find the webpage but i think you should get a VW bug(There so cute: you should get a yellow one|||i would say the benz. i like the is model but only if its a 300. plus the benz have such nice interior and are really safe.|||I would go for the Mercedes. The other one looks alittle plain.
