Yes, IMO, it does have the looks, powerful and noisy engine. However, to get to the competitive power output, they use engines with 30-40% higher volume, hence horrible mpg. The interior lags years behind the european and japanese. THe design becomes old quickly. The car becomes loose, rattling (although my e90 is a rattle box) and squeeking too quickly. The resale value is a joke.
The true value of the vehicle is about 70% of what they are asking, IMO...
Wow.
