So it's not a total "default" but it's also not a perfect slam-dunk.

The styling is meh sure, but more, it's just such a large (heavy) car.

No, I know what you mean. If I had to buy a new car right now to be my only/primary car, it would be hard to buy anything other than a 335.

That is a very nice blue! Too bad about the cost.

I see your point and I guess its because my kids are older, but I'd still get the R under those parameters.

The R is a cool car, but not quite what I'm looking for. Add to that the mediocre lease deal and meh. BMW makes it far too easy for me to lease.

Most sane people would twitch at paying >$35K for a Golf.

He's said before that he needs/wants to take work-type people with him.

If I could do everything over again, as a guy with no kids I would probably have bought a Porsche...but then again, when I was a guy with no kids the Porsches out there were 986s and 996s, which I always found wanting.
