Best Luxury Cars Under $50K

Forbes:

Those that believe you have to spend big for a luxury car may turn up their noses at the autos on this list.

That's their loss.

Pay $37,175 for the BMW Z4 Roadster, and you can cruise around town in a two-seater roadster that allows you to automatically control the drop top while listening to your favorite tunes through a 10-speaker audio system.

The $35,605 Lincoln MKX crossover utility vehicle is loaded with standard features like heated, dual power mirrors with memory, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with genuine wood accents, and four-wheel disc brakes with an anti-lock braking system. Options include 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, a panoramic roof and a voice-activated DVD-based navigation system. The Volvo XC70, a $36,755 midsize wagon, is loaded with advanced safety features like hill descent control and full-length side curtain airbags.

Best one-one that is paid for.

Honda Civic: 12 thousand dollars
Performance gear: 3 thousand dollars
Driving school: 1,500 dollars

Not having to listen to some rich yuppie talk smack about his imported hitler-wagon? Priceless.

Some things, money can't buy...

I don't care how much you put in your Civic, it'll never corner as well as a BMW. You'll always have a back wheel off the ground.

If you want to go fast in a straight line, the Civic is eh. If you want to go fast around corners, you need something German, or a Scoobie/Evo. Even my Mini Cooper S without mods is faster on the slalom than the best modified Civic.

Sorry. The last few shreds of human dignity I have left prevent me from driving a Honda Civic with a 6" chrome exhaust pipe and a wing on the back.

No Acuras, but a Lincoln? I dunno....

[Dendroica]

Nobody in the civilized world would consider a Lincoln to be a "luxury" car!

A Lincoln-A Volvo? get a clue-let the car mags wirte about cars and stick with what you do best which sure as hell has nothing to do with cars.
