The Auto Opinion
Sure this car looks good and is a luxury car. But if you're trying to get this to be a sports car it is way off. This car is slow. It's a V8 coupe at basically $70,000 that goes 0-60 in only 4.0 seconds. That just isn't right. Unless you want this car for a Beverly
Hills cruiser then don't get this car for speed because there are many other options and most are cheaper for a convertible sports car. Such as the Camaro, mustang , or M3/4. If you're willing to spend a little over the $92,000 for the highest just get a GT-R. They're quick and reliable going 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and being AWD they're a much better car. Same story with the Audi R8 just around $110,000 but it's faster and better looking. In conclusion this car is only for the people who want a cruising car. Not for speed. Unless they are ignorant about all the other faster cars out there.
