I do not like them.

My friend has one exactly like that. It sits really high. Wood inside. I guess it is comfortable and I guess it drives well, but its a big monster car to me.

Need I say more?

Id get an M5 WAY WAY WAY before that.

i've never seen one that sits too high....but whatever.

M5's are too common....see a million a day already.

besides, i'm not warming up to gazillion HP cars as i thought i would...other than 5 track days a year...what's the point for me?

went out last night and on the way home (very late), before i know it, i'm doing 180 without even noticing....if a 300 HP car can do that effortlessly, what's the point in having a 500 HP car?

i'd rather have some style and less horsepower....

'bout ****ing time. Ditching your pimping duds is the first step.

I have no idea how high it sits, but when Im in his car, it feels like Im in one of those scaled down SUVs.

I'm thinkin of following you around to pick up the stream of hundred dollar bills falling out of your pocket...

They are definitely a classy car, but not quite my style.

Like Dave said, I'd go M5 long before that.

^ Style you already have. Horsepower on the street is really about penis size. Hell a Lada will do the speed limit. I have to agree, more style and comfort. However, that is way past my means. A new TL would suit me fine. A simple man with simple needs. Spending too much time on a simple site.

high style points... i think they'll get cheaper though.. also you might want to try that gearbox before you get too hot for it.
