only quibbles with the write up are dad's opinion of the car, and the chick part...
i know my family is a little different than many, but all the 'vets in my family would never use their fighting history to positively speak of a german machine, no matter how nice! and the chick part, you say this one "exudes testosterone".... it's still just make-up on the appearance front... i still find it to be very feminine. i almost said lipstick on a pig, then realized i'm way off.. this is more like an armani suit on a female supermodel.
great piece of machinery, no doubt though! using that wheelbase, i'm not sure how they could make the car perform any better while still having some real world drivability and usefulness. unfortunately, that actual versatility might be what makes this car seem overpriced... people don't look at it as an extravagance because it can be put to daily use, so all of a sudden price is actually looked at, rather than just an arbitrary number. a number that some rich guy can afford to spend on a toy that sees 2000km a yr.
