    Well to me....classy would be Audi...

    As BB said...it doesnt matter which model you look at from the base A3 to higher spec S6 etc they all have great styling and classy interiors.

    BMW and Merc are classy when you pay over 100K for them.

    Your Aston and Masers arent classy...they are exotic..

    Jag...hmm owned by india....once by ford and was classy back in 1980

    Ferrari porcshe lambo etc arent classy....they are expensive exotic sports car...nothing classy...all performance...some dont even have aircon or CD players.

    So....my verdict...would be Audi hands down for a classy mid priced car...being family or sports orientated.

    Then again....i am finding a lot of korean...yes you did hear me say it...that are emerging as *classy* these days...just the stigma they hold from their beginning that ppl still hold.

    Class...is really in the eye of the beholder...and I think my mazda is classy in some respects..

    But im looking at BMW 135 Ci or Audi TT as my next car.

    Happy Motoring

    Totally agree about the Koreans Dug. Some people can't seem to see past their rough beginnings. But I can remember when Honda's looked like four-wheel motor bikes with the bottom of a coke bottle for a rear window. Look at them now.

    The Koreans are progressing in leaps and bounds and I'm impressed by their engineering talent. I'm looking forward to owning a Kia or Hyundai in the future. Can't say the same for Daewoo, their relationship with General Motors will ensure they continue to produce rubbish.

    Have to agree . Saw a Vantage last year in Townsville - smaller than I would have thought but very classy looking.

    None of them. In the EU they're called normal cars, not luxury. Luxury is a 7 or 9 series BMW, etc.
    None of this $50,000 crap.

    Bentley...
    Continental GT Speed - Dream car.

    Looks great, insanely comfortable, stupidly powerfull, and ****s the environment to hell just because it can.
    So much wank, but I still love it.

    M6? Possibly one of the ugliest cars yet devised. BMW have produced some awful looking stuff lately, especially with that US-market inspired raised boot lip.

    Don't get me started on the galactically stupid BMW X3......a tight little, badly-performing, over-priced shit-box of a shopping trolley that merely says "I wanted an X5 but don't have the money" or "come in suckers". In any case, both are bought only for the propeller, not for any actual ability, least of all off-road. Hence the "suckers".

    Porsche haven't done too bad either in the monumentally ugly stakes with their hideous Cayenne (the Cayenne 'S' says "I wanted a Turbo but don't have the money") and the dreadful Panamera which looks like a beached whale. They never learned from the lessons of the old Jaguar E-type 2+2 which was almost as bad.

    In general, German cars are rarely pretty. While Gullwing doors might have some nostalgia about them but wait ands see how nostalgic you feel when two turkeys park real close to you either side in a tight set of parking bays, then try to open your doors and exit your pride and joy......
