My issue is why must I choose between sport and luxury? I may find fault with with the WRX for lacking features, but I find just as much fault with the Maxima, Jetta, and the like for being too soft. The IS300 comes close, but fatal flaws make it impossible for me to buy.
When it comes down to it, compared to cars of its day, the SVT Contour provided an unmatched level of performance, amenities, style, practicality, and value with very few compromises. That is what makes it a vehicle that has not been matched since. Other cars may surpass it in one facet or another, but no car gives as much in one area without taking away more in another.
When I have a car that gives it all to me now, why should I settle for a compromise?
svtcarboy I'd appreciate it if you'd get out of my brain and stop using my thoughts before I have the time to respond.
