A Sports sedan for 39k from Merc or BMW would be grade A. Crap.
think about it. What would you rather have, a top of the line model from a good brand, or a bottom of the line model of a pricier brand.

I could still break-down and buy a GT though...Doubtful, maybe...  |
ya i had my own fling with the GT but i drove it and found the auto to be shockingly dissapointing.
The GXP looks like an amazing car, but to be honest i dont see 10k worth of differences betwen the GXP and the GT (not to say it isnt there, but if i dont see it the average customer sure as hell isnt going to see it)

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
