Yeah added that to my list... now its:

Infiniti G35 Coupe
Acura TSX
Acura TL
Audi A4
Mazda RX8
Saab 9-3 Aero

When'd you order your C230K, what options did you get?

Obsidian Black Metallic
Charcoal Leather
Textured aluminium trim (kind of a getto looking fake cf pattern but isn't too bad)
Sport package (a badge, color matched bits and pieces and 7 spoke 17x7.5 wheels)
Light package
Sunroof package
rear spoiler
auto (so the whole family could drive it

)

sweet man. it sucks that alot of the midrange luxo-sports or even semi-sports cars aren't offered primarily in RWD or AWD layouts. I would imagine an awd Saab 9-3 Aero would be tons of fun... we'll see

IS300?

FunkerVogt · 11-06-2003, 08:50 AM

Cadillac CTS
BMW 330Ci

Take the TSX out of that list, it might have some Lux, but it is piss ugly and isn't in any way a performance/sport car. Unless, by sport, you mean 'sporty', implying some kind of sport-inspired look (Which I don't see either).

Replace the TL with the CL-S (or CL).

Inifiniti G35 Coupe

I would include the Mazda RX-8 on that list. It's not super luxo, but it's not bad at all. Actually went for a test drive in a decked out one a few days ago, it's a nice car.

You can't get a 330 for under $35. BMW prettymuch shipps them loaded and over $40k

I really want one but can't afford one!

I have yet to drive the TSX, but from how Honda/Acura is marketing the car, it is supposed to have sport-inspired handling etc... and I like the looks

The IS300 I'm totally over... I think there are better options out there

I already included the G35 Coupe.

Force[Fed] I totally agree with you, I really think the RX8 is a very good compromise between the Luxury & Sport markets... my only problem, as with any japanese car, is the quality of the interior materials... I mean hell, I've had my WRX since november of 2001 & for the last year and a half the VIN plate has been rattling & annoying the piss out of me heh....

In all reality, I'd love to get/include the Z4 in the list b/c I think the 330ci is not as "inspiring" as the roadster, but the price is just too high.

Keep the ideas comin'!
