And that's too bad, because I firmly believe American cars are prettttty close in performance when compared to their German counterparts. But I do understand the whole "status" thing....

The latest C/D test ranks the BMW 535 4 out of 5 in sports sedans. The CTS was second.
The CTS sounds fun to drive. The 535...doesn't. |

2017 A4 meets all of your basic requirements.
And none of the bonus ones. |

Except the backseat is really unusable for adult humans.

Do you do Japanese?
Infiniti G37 (QSomething) Eau Rouge... did they ever make that car? If Automatic: Lexus GS F Acura TLX/RLX As already mentioned, there is not much left with your criteria: CTS-V wagon, ATS-V, F10 M5, SS, Audis. I'd go for the E90 M3 in your situation though. |

Is it worse than an E46? I haven't sat in one.
