I am aware that you can get sometimes even more in a mainstream car than in an entry level luxury car. But when you buy, say, an Acura TL, you pay more because you are buying into a premium brand. You can get a more luxurious Pontiac for less than the TL, but then you have a car from a brand that everyone and his uncle have a car from. I made this thread to discuss the most popular FWD entry level luxury sport sedan. And the choice is yours as to what car you think is better, but this thread is focused on the "luxury" aspect of these cars (i.e: luxury brand).
