The twins (high spec GT86 and BRZ Limited) have many of the things you'd find a luxury car, but not executed to the level of a luxury car. What do you want at $30K OTD? In any case, it's kind of obnoxious that you can't really find many good sports cars that aren't also luxury cars or executive/businessman cars. The BRZ does well in regard; BMW...well, they're not so sporty outside of their muscle cars (///M) and their muscle cars are quite luxurious as well. Thankfully, those who pine after and enjoy Euro cars can easily afford them after a few years of depreciation.

Agreed, but it's funny that two of my favorite luxuries from the 550i, the heated seat and heated steering wheel, were only necessary because they were both leather. I have not been through a winter with the FR-S, but I know that the seats aren't going to freeze me, because they're cloth.
I do miss the seats. Damn, those were nice seats.
