I guess it really depends where you live. I'm in DC and sometimes even have to leave my keys at work when it's very busy.

Sometimes there's no alternative. I don't like Valet parking and I've had cars with a "valet mode" before. That said it just has to happen occasionally. I'm a member of brand-specific forums and ive still handed over the keys to my (admittedly not super-fancy) M235i to a valet. It's just something you do with dailies…

Thanks for the kind words! I certainly enjoy the hell out of it.

Awesome. It would look better than my BMW next to my dad's S60 R-Design when I visit home.

I have a burgeoning Swedish car problem. How is it to own? I've always admired them but haven't pulled the trigger.

Goddamn. You exposed my secret lust.

X6??

Not lost to history yet. 2/3 the price, 4/5 the performance. It's like the Cayman vs 911 battle — especially with a Dinan tune.

What a miserable piece of shit. Remember when the Germans were logical?

Just came here and posted the same thing before reading your comment. Goddamn it's ugly/cheap.

I know I'll get flamed for this and I know it's not what this car is about and I also know it's not quite modern...BUT...that interior is awful. It's pathetic even. I've seen better-looking kit cars. An NSX or 911 of the same era werent as fast but at least they were cars with halfway-decent interiors. There's also a…

You had to do that didn't you? Now I want one even more!!

Yes — Alberta! That's where her Canadian family was from.

Same here. It's a stunning car.

My ex is half-Texan and half-Canadian. Very suitable combo.

Just bring back the S2000 and the integra. I don't care about these novelty cars.

Haha. Doesn't totally surprise me. Car perception seems a little skewed over there towards the size = prestige equation.

Yup. I have a 235 and there are lots who subscribe to this viewpoint.

(1) Will Polestar ever become the equivalent of BMW's M, Audi's S or Mercedes' AMG? That means marketing and being spread across the product line.
