We finally decided to replace my wife's 2011 Volvo with 110k. Bad time to start shopping. The Lexus dealer had us leave a $1000 deposit with the line, "We'll call you when we get one. Then it's take it or leave it". So no choice of color or options on a $50,000 car. Bummer. We have cash, I may just take it, in crisp unmarked bills, to a Ford or Toyota store and get a Escape or RAV4. The heck with what Car and Driver thinks.
