it takes more than an emblem to create luxury h:

look at it, its nothing special.

ill give you any and all performance aspects of it, i cant deny those. the car is fast and well balanced. but in that package, i wouldnt take it. to me, the car is plainly ugly. the newer M3's are better but still, to me they are a sports car in disguise as a luxury coupe. i think they should have approached asthetic design a little more aggressively.

similarly, people call the 240sx a "sports car" its big, bulky, ugly design. RWD and mediocre power dont make it a sports car.

 

so the sunroof, leather interior, power everything, etc didn't = luxury?

the car is over10 years old from when it was first introduced. at the time it was the standard for it's blend of performance and luxury. <--- not my words, it's from the car mags at the time.

240sx was never a sports car in the US, sporty yes, but not a sports car.

 

:dunno: that stuff doesnt convince me. you could get an integra with leather, power, sunroof etc and still nobody calls it a luxury car. hell ill break away from my honda bias and say you can get a jetta with all of that and a VR6 that would take a gs-r to school day in and day out.

like i say ill never question its performance and handling but aside from being a BMW, id never call it a luxury car. if that exact same car had a different badge on it, critics would be calling it a meeger attempt at a coupe built to compete with high end "luxury" cars

my car is not big, bulky, or ugly...you take all that back!

 

your comment about the badge is what made me respond.

honda accord/ acura TL

acura tl isn't luxury to me either. but to each...

 

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. I don't see a VR6 taking a GS-R to school even on it's best day. I like VW's, but I wouldn't compare a VR6 with a GS-R.

The E36 has been the epitome of luxury performance for years... BMW has embraced this.
