So, same reason as everyone else? If all I wanted was practicality, I’d have a Yukon. If all I cared about was performance, I’d have a Porsche or some Bimmer besides a 5. We’re all making decisions on many factors. You just get a kick out of pissing in people’s cheerios, which is silly. It’s a car forum. You’re shocked that people on car forums like to drive more car than they need? Seems a little misguided.

Like probably every other person here, I've driven at high speeds, and frankly, after a few minutes, 200+ kph doesn't feel any different that 150kph. Especially in a straight line on a major highway such as the autobahn. Frankly, the fear of being caught here is North America is more exhilarating than the speed. For me, I feel the speed, but not the power. Now, acceleration is completely different. It is that "seat of your pants" pull that pins you into the seat as the technology of the car is demonstrated through your chest. That is what I consider exciting. Let's be honest, any damn 4 cylinder sedan or coupe manufactured today can claw their way up to 200kph...its HOW you get there that's the fun part. So, you can have your straight line, high speed, runs on the autobahn, while listening to the radio or chatting on the phone. I'll take the kick in the ass acceleration or doing 100kph through a tight corner any day. Enjoy what makes you happy! |
