Audi S7:




Dodge Charger Hellcat, I know maybe a bit to juvenile for some of you boring folks, but this is definetly what I'd drive if I needed a practical car(otherwise I'd get the Challenger Hellcat).





Cadillac ATS:




BMW Gran Coupe, I know probably more than 80k with options:




As for cheaper cars, I think the new Impala is a great looking car. I really wish GM would offer the car with a couple of nice 5 spoke wheel options, a shadowline grey/silver 5 spoke wheel would look great on this car and make it look sportier.

$80000 covers a huge range.

and I would not rank RLX in the top 3. That thing has FWD proportions

I still think the current 5 series has the best proportions....... Long hood, short overhangs, proportional clean cut doors.
No squiggly bs or odd lines.

I really like the new 2015 face lifted CLS. Bimmer 6 gran coupe is more than 80 or else that would get my vote.

From what I read with consumer reports the q50 is what has brought infinity's reliability score way down and drug them down. (the current issue I am referring to). I found out about the q50 hybrid last night and it is very interesting. A lot of power and good gas mileage and decent price and looks pretty good. I am not sure what is wrong with the q50 but something is from the review.

I have heard a lot of negative reliability on BWM what exactly goes wrong with those? Just everything? I owned 1 bmw for 2 weeks and it was the best cornering car I ever seen out from a sports car. It was a 530I.

The Q50 infotainment system is insufferable in my opinion. imagine a system slower than the 3IS. interior isn't up to par with the lexus IS either. Styling is nice but conservative. it's a hoot to drive. test drove the Q50S a few months back but never seriously considered it.

You have to dress up a GS properly for it to look good.

Have heard major issues on the infotainment yes, costing about 10k to repair and Infinity dealerships giving a lot of headache to try and get it fixed under warranty. I test drove the Q50 hybrid and was impressed with the power and styling but the steer by wire was a deal breaker for me.

Folks, I think the OP, here, is referring to a car's physical looks, not what kind of infotainment system it has or how difficult it is to service.

I would agree that the Lexus IS interior is superior.
