Explain to me why I am 28 and heart luxury sport sedans?
The heck is wrong is me???? Shouldn't I want a Vette or Mustang or WRX or something? Why does fit and finish and real wood and prestige matter to me? I got the rest of my life to drive a Town Car
R we spoiled? The new crop of luxury sedans these past few years, especially from Lexus BMW and Mercedes blend everything so well, if you can get it, they are pretty much perfect cars??
I am single with no kids yet I worry about space, a trunk and resale value.
Shouldn't I want a damn 2-seater?????

I dont know about yall, but personally I like luxury with a little bit of sport thrown in, sometimes a lot(but there are exceptions as well). Its gotta have all the latest features gadgets and gizmos and must be fast and handle well. Lately I think Lexus has been getting the formula right for my tastes. New IS, New GS for example.

Unless you are willing and able to own half a dozen cars at a time, we want a car that provides power, space, cost efficiency, handling, performance, and amenities in a nice package. A two seater cannot fulfill everyday function. A performance sedan can give a little bit of everything for everyday driving (and better overall performance in everyday traffic).
Yes, I want my Lotus Elise. But I would like to be able to buy a gallon of milk without strapping it on the roof rack...

Its ok, when your midlife cirsis kicks in you'll want that 2-seater. On the contrary to most of you, I love coupes. I prefer performance over luxury in most cases and am willing to deal with the accompanying issues. However, some of the new sedans like the CLS, E class, Audi S/R cars, CTSV are all very enticing...a very nice blend.

I'm lucky enough to have the best of both worlds... but for daily use, I love the GS with its' V8 power and space... not to mention it's baller looks!
As soon as the Turbo MR2 is done, I will begin my next project cars:
- SuperFormance Daytona Cobra Coupe (will be 1-UZ powered with individual throttle bodies... sacrilege!)
- 1949 Ford Coupe, restoring to near-stock with flathead V8... will upgrade to disc brakes and suspension will be lowered, but car will otherwise look mostly stock.
After that... I'll be pretty satisfied (car-wise).
Well, maybe a 360 Challenge Stradale would be nice at some point in time

Efficiency and practicality minded people buy efficient and practical cars to suit their personalities.
I just find it odd, thats all.

Luxury + performance = everything. Nothing else needed.
I actually want an RX within one year from now, so I'll either add one to the stable or trade the IS in.
After seeing Dadd-O take his RX through the dragon, I'm convinced

Take that test. I'm pretty sure you'll come out as either ENTJ or ENTP.

BTW, I hear the next GS 460 might just have a VDIM off switch
