Lovely car — one thing they forgot: the 600 has a heat pump and, as far as I know, the 500 doesn’t, which is quite an important detail.

Nice luxury car, although I'm not sure I find the oversized rims that attractive. On the other hand, I like the Mazda 3 better.

I wouldn't pay more than 40,000 for a 1.5 L engine — that's excessive.
