Luxury is a combination of badge, creature comforts and price point.
The higher the price point, the more "luxurious" it should be because it starts catering to a crowd that can afford the higher price tag. And the more you pay, the more you expect. Creature comforts and tech is kind of a wash since almost every car has the same tech in it, just various degrees of functionality. The higher end brands tend to have more of a "cool" factor to it though (which can get to the point of needlessly excessive and complicated), where the lower end brands would probably stick with something a bit more basic and straightforward. Then theres the badge, and this varies based on the badge and the badge's reputation. an 80,000 toyota land cruiser is not a luxury car. But an 80,000 Toyota Crown probably is. (if you ever been to Japan, that's a japan exclusive midsize RWD executive class car that is in line with a BMW 5 series or Lexus GS) Compared to Lexus or BMW? Those are expected to give you a certain degree of Lux, based on their reputations. With BMW and Merc and abunch of other brands going "downmarket" with their smallest/cheapest models, it feels like a brand dilutition. BMW 2 series gran coupe? Thing looks like a fancy corolla now. Theres even a 2 series Grand tourer which is basically a 2 series mini minivan in Europe (think Mazda5). They can still pump out the lux cars but they also now have cheap mainstream cars with their badges on it. With that said, i dont think a Supra is really a luxury car. Its built to a BMW standard and uses BMW parts so theres some degree of BMWness to itt. But in the end, if i get in say a lexus RC and then drive a Supra afterwards, im sure i'd feel much more "coddled" in the RC than the Supra. |

Obviously the Supra's interior is much more premium than the the $45k NISMO interior because there is only so much you can do with a $30k interior, but for good measure, $25k interior:

i was just trying to show cars in a similar price range, but since you guys wanted the 370z and 86 i added interior pics from the same source which doesn't flavor one over the other with better lighting or scenery.

Had the Supra not been developed at the height of this design trend then perhaps it wouldn't have looked like that.

If there is a concern about people looking down at it for NAV then a heads-up display fixes that. EDIT: Wrong car, same idea.
