“Anything else is artificially restricting the engine.”

The appeal is 550lb/ft in a 3-series.

<grammarbot> “...that you can drive daily.” “...that you can daily-drive.” The first is right, the second is acceptable. But “you can [verb] [adverb]” does not make sense for American or British English. </grammerbot>

Unless you’re at 3% body fat and trying to get to 2% for that Mr. Universe title (okay, 8% for Ms. Universe) then “mixed carbs and fats” are the other components of staying healthy. DON’T FEAR THEM! Your body knows what to do with things like that. Throw a couple of cups of rice and lentils in the rice cooker and…

It’s so nice to have a vehicle that fits JUST right when all you want to do is drive around and recharge a little after a long day.

Don’t say they didn't warn you.

...says the “first owner” type of person.

“Presumably, the only reason they’re doing this to get some sort of tax revenue.”

For what little it may be worth, it’s “nobody could BEAR to...”, meaning that the burden could not be borne, rather than no one could... bare, meaning strip off all their... clothes? Paint? Maybe there’s a pun I’m missing?

Bravo for intended word choice. Where you used ‘bougie’, I believe you meant ‘bourgeois’, perhaps? Urban Dictionary be damned; if you want to reach the widest audience, a bougie is not an instrument the image of which you want to summon:

Yes. No one knows how to nail the “Our precision German engineers have ornately duct-taped a $50 Android tablet to the calculated, sweeping curves of a modern dash” look quite as well as Mercedes.

One can be a car enthusiast and drive a Camry, but one does not become a car enthusiast by driving a Camry, nor does a car enthusiast choose a Camry BECAUSE of their automotive enthusiasm.

The beaks are the dagger in the heart of anyone who remembers the soul Honda has long since lost. The beaks are just a visual cue - a reminder. A sign on the front of the car that says, “This is not what you remember. This is the NEW Acura. This is the BORING Acura. This is the Acura you want to drive to church when…

“The game is pretty easy already...”

True. Also you can change the tires when they wear out. Why are we discussing such random details, equally relevant to a household income of $42k against a $55k car?

“...and a police officer was non-fatally wounded.”

The point you’ve been missing, while reinforcing it endlessly, is that you are way, way out of touch with what _most people_ can afford. Most people can’t afford this car. Even used. Your father did a great job, but I suspect he makes more than $41,212/year. Few people who make less raise people as out of touch with…

So it is, you are correct. The MSRP of the 2013 model was only *133%* of the 66th percentile income of the United States, and thus your original “affordable to most people” statement was clearly, absolutely, unquestionably correct. I was in error. If you allow me the chance to make amends, I shall send the butler over…

I’m not convinced. Most expensive single-vehicle crash -ever-? Not even close.
