When you decide even appearance inner values

Cool, I guess. Still a girls car though...Don't get me wrong, it's a nice car, cool retracting hardtop for the price, and it's ridiculosuly fast with the 3.2 v6 and DSG, basically a mini R32. But it's still a girls car...meh.

3.2 + DSG version is also ridiculously expensive.

Plenty fast, still not attractive. Maybe sales will creep up from current dismal rate.

3.2 narrow angle VR6 + DSG is a bonafide luxury coupe. Real wood, AFS bi-xenon, Nappa leather, 18"s, 12-way power seats with driver memory and 4-way lumbar. It's a nice car, and damn it's expensive
