I wonder what people here think of the looks of Lexus (apart from the first few posts)... I mean, if all prices were equal, and assuming the cars are identical in other aspects (ceteris paribus!), who prefers the look of the Lexus? I can't really say much about the new IS since I haven't looked...

It's 5 year actually >_> ... but the reason why I'm replacing speakers is because that way it won't void the warranty. Ripping everything out to install wiring for the sub and amp will void the warranty though.

What do you think? My first reaction was "hmm looks a bit like how I'd imagine the 5 series..." and then I looked at the side and you can see the clear design cues from the 6 series with the wrap around tail lights, but I don't like the design of the tails. Maybe because the photos are from...

I guess Lexus probably thumps the BMW in features/value, but it still doesn't change which one I'd rather be driving :)

Thanks for your advice loquasagacious, I know this is probably pushing it, but if I were to buy really really good (budget: $400) for a pair of speakers in the rear (I think my car can only take 6" because of the grill... not 6x9- but shall investigate further), do you think I would be able to...

ahaha.. I was wondering how long it'd be before someone said that. You can't have a "Lexus is an overpriced Toyota" without someone bringing that up!

After finding out that installing a sub into my Civic is gonna be very difficult (requires disconnecting rear speakers, adding wiring for the amp power, etc...) or costly (if I want to retain rear speakers, I need to buy some special unit which accepts the speaker outputs from my deck), I've...

LOL I'm not sure how true that is in terms of Big4, but there may be an element of truth to that when it comes to Commerce electives!

Are you saying that from fact or speculation? Because I'm pretty sure the "radio navigation" implies some form of satellite navigation. I'd compare to our own cars, but in Malaysia, there is no sat nav available so the feature isn't enabled on any of our 5/6/7 series BMWs. Only our 330Ci has it...

Ahaha... howcome it's set so low? The 645Ci had it set at 160km/h by default and it's kinda cute... when you hit the speed, the LCD screen which would have been showing the phone book or radio stations then a message pops up telling you that the speed limit has exceeded with a funky "chime"...

I heard that as well... grads think they know everything whereas trainees are more willing to learn. I think they changed it to 36wks (9months) work experience now, and since grads will be one year ahead of cadets (since we take 4 years to finish), we'll probably all be starting the CA...

Out of the ppl I know who got cadetships/grad spots... they've all got a lot of character and seem to defy the stereotype of "boring accountant".

It's very possible. Although most interviewers try to make it as unintimidating as possible with ice breakers and their manner. Btw I know this tip might seem a bit obvious but it might be a good idea to learn where the places you are being interviewed are so you won't get lost/be late on the...

Of course feature to feature between Lexus and their German rivals will show the Lexus is probably a lot better value, but when you consider that cars in the luxury segment tend to not really focus on value and comparing both luxury sedans (say the IS and the 3 series) to something like a...

No offence if you like those Benzes but pre-2000 ones (I think that's roughly when they started introducing the more curvy ones) look way too boxy for my liking.

I doubt it'll happen... but I wouldn't mind if they introduced compulsory speed noise thingies. I've seen it in some cars where when you exceed a certain speed, it starts ringing a bell... sure it's not much, but I think it might be enough to piss someone off to stop them from speeding at 140...

You'd best be asking someone who's actually on the Accounting coop... there's quite a lot of them around UNSW from our year... off the top of my head I can think of Yajing, David, Jess and Marianne who are all acct coops. As for what you need- try looking on the scholarship websites or if you...

Look at some of the salary surveys... even accounting gets above $100k after a few years; so at least if you end up not liking the hours Finance demands, you can switch over to another similar field. :)

Wow you guys take these IB rivalries/stereotypes so ... seriously? If it were me I'd just focus on getting offered a spot at one of them and then should I have been fortunate to get more than one offer, then try to decide between them.

Ahh... cool *thumbs up*
