The interior especially... everything feels like it will break off in your hand.

Some people really aren't getting this thread - it's about resonably priced, but expensice looking cars ffs. I was riding home the other night and saw a very nice looking car - as I got nearer I noticed it was a Suzuki! The Suzuki Kiza...kiazaki...kiztwa...kiazaki, erm [Googles] Kizashi

Take the badges off and it looks like the Passat's ugly sister... can't think why  It's certainly not in the same league as the Passat CC, which, if you order both in the same spec., aren't that far apart on price.

HeatonNorris said: And it doesn't really look any more expensive than anything else in the class. Personal perspectives. Anyhow, just contributing...

The last model Supra looked amazing in its day. OK, it's not an 'ordinary' car to begin with but if you hadn't known you'd never have guessed it was a mere Toyota.
