Everybody is different, so everybody's definition of success is different, but we're pretty sure that one of the universal markers of how well we're doing in our individual lives is our car. Hey, we don't care about what other people think. We're not about using cars as status symbols, but, come on, now. Haven't we all dreamed of driving around in a fancy pants car? Nothing says sophistication like a luxury vehicle, after all. Sliding into an all leather interior with radio controls built into the steering wheel, heated seats, a convertible top, driving all around the neighborhood. That sounds like a dream.
Owning a gorgeous vehicle isn't so much about what other people think, it's about what we think. It's the ultimate in "treat yo'self", and we can't speak for everyone on this, but feeling like we're in the lap of luxury at all times is kind of a major thing for us. But, here's the problem—there are, like, a billion different kinds of luxury cars out there, and it can be hard to choose just one! Peruse our selection of fancy vehicles, take them or leave them as everyone sees fit, and in the end, we'll pair everybody up with a blonde wifey—sound like a bargain?
BMW M3
Described as "aerodynamic", "sleek", "sophisticated" and a whole bunch of other words you definitely want to hear if you're in the market for a gorgeous new vehicle, the BMW M3 is a lightweight car that drives as good as it looks. Listen, we all know how great BMW is at manufacturing vehicles, but what it really boils down to here is, is this luxury car for you?
Infiniti Q70
You know what's funny? This car is called the Inifiniti, and the list of reasons why it's awesome goes on and on forever. A mid-sized executive car (which, as a title, makes it sound like this car has got its crap together on a level we never will), this is the perfect luxury vehicle for anyone who likes to feel fancy when they're driving—so, really, all of us.
Jaguar F-Type
Two doors and two seats for two passengers only, that's the Jaguar F-Type for ya. Oooh, don't it look fancy? This car was originally sold as a convertible, which sounds so fab because who wouldn't want to feel the wind in their hair behind the wheel of this thing? Whether you guys take or leave on this one, we know where we stand.
Mitsubishi Eclipse GT
This vehicle was produced between 1989 and 2011, but even though it's not being manufactured anymore, it's still stunning—or is it? We'll let you decide, but first, let's get down to the deets. This is an entry- to mid-level sports coupe, each equipped with a turbocharged engine. Nifty, right? Is this a car worth picking, or would you rather pass it up?
Chevrolet Corvette
Personally, we prefer our Corvettes to be little and red, but in any case, this model, made by Chevrolet, is i-freaking-conic. This car is best known for it's easily recognized fiberglass/composite bodywork, which gives it a jaunty, fun, flamboyant look that people can't seem to get enough of. This car's been popular since it was first manufactured in 1953, and it's not hard to see why.
Porsche 911
Rear-mounted six cylinder boxer engine. All-round independent suspension. Other fancy things like that. This car looks #Nice, and we're not just saying that. In a 1999 poll to determine the Car of the Century, the Porsche 911 ranked 5th in the lineup, and that says something. Plus, would you look at that body? That car is one sleek mamma jamma.
Cadillac ATS
A four door sedan or a two door coupe, the Cadillac ATS has a healthy dose of refinement for anyone who wants a serious luxury vehicle with a touch more class than a muscle car. We could totally see pulling into our reserved parking spot at our workplace, where we're at the very top of the corporate ladder in this thing.
Lincoln MKZ
This car has four doors because if it had five doors, that would just look silly. But, to make up for the fact that it doesn't have an odd number of doors, it does have an odd number of seats. This pretty piece of luxury vehicle can hold a five piece family, and it can look good all the while.
Mazda MX-5 Miata
Gasp, another convertible?! Don't get us wrong, we're not complaining, we are all ABOUT the cars with the retractable tops—and not just because we love not having to run the A/C, but also because we love the idea of everyone we know seeing us from behind the wheel of a car as glossy and modern as this one.
Nissan 370Z
With two doors and just as many seats, the Nissan 370Z is so stylish looking, we don't know if we should be jealous or if we should take out a loan to buy one. Who wouldn't look cool behind the wheel of this vehicle? Darn if we didn't know better, but this thing just looks downright cool.
Lincoln Navigator
One look at this vehicle has the viewer wondering: "Who's in there?" This car just oozes sophistication. You see this car driving through the neighborhood, and you wonder what sort of very important person has come to town. Who wouldn't want hit the town in something as exquisite as the Lincoln Navigator?
Toyota 86
The Toyota 86. Doesn't it just look fast? With rounded edges, a low center of gravity and an overall streamlined look, this car has style that just won't quit. This car is so sporty, it's just plain fun. We mean, look at it. Aren't you having fun? We are! Woo hoo! Just staring at this vehicle is a blast!
Honda S2000
Made in a similar style as the roadsters of the 60's, this car is so mid-century modern, we feel like we should be parking it in our driveway before sauntering into our ranch-style home to make a whiskey on the rocks at the bar in our living room before watching the latest episode of Bewitched. In other words, we're loving the low-key vintage vibes this car gives off.
Lexus RC
The Lexus RC has two-doors, a front engine and a whole lot of style. Look at this puppy! It's a compact executive car, which is also referred to as an entry-level luxury car. Pfft! "Entry-level luxury car"? What the heck is that about? Guess the makers of this pretty vehicle think we need to be eased into all of this sophistication. As if!
Mazda RX8
The Mazda RX-8 was manufactured by Mazda (no big surprise there, to be honest) from 2002 to 2012, and ten years was a good run for this car, but we wouldn't have minded ten more. It's sleek, there's no doubt about it, but it combines elegance with a not so subtle race car vibe that we dig.
Maserati Levante
Aside from sounding like a spell from Harry Potter, the Maserati Levante has four-wheel drive only, which makes this mid-sized luxury crossover sports utility vehicle one that just can't be beat. And did we mention that this car has Maserati Touch Control with a touchscreen display? Man, this thing really IS magic!
BMW i8
Oooh, would ya lookie here? The BMW i8 is a plug-in hybrid car, which just adds a whole new layer of fanciness to this already pretty darn fancy vehicle. Gad about town in a gorgeous car like this, and not only will you look amazingly cool, you'll also be helping the environment. Double the win!
Ford Mustang
With a long hood and a short rear deck, the Ford Mustang really broke ground because it created the "pony car" class of muscle cars, which were more affordable than the average muscle car. In a neutral color, these vehicles are sharp and sophisticated looking. In a bright yellow or red, they're your regular sports car.
Fiat 124 Spider
You know, usually, whenever we hear about something that involves the word "spiders", we're not too keen to find out more. But when it comes to the Fiat 124 Spider? Well, that's a different story. Anything involving this sporty little piece of work has us very intrigued. Anybody would love to take a spin around the block in this spunky roadster? Sign us up!
McLaren 570S
The McLaren 570S...looks like a superhero car. We're not trying to be melodramatic, but look at this thing! It's so aerodynamic and low to the ground. Can't you just see Batman or somebody driving up to the scene of a crime to kick villain behind in a car like this? So cool.
Ferrari FF
The Ferrari FF is so fancy, we're not even sure if we can afford to look at it, let alone purchase it. But we have to imagine that driving it would be a dream, not only because it looks amazing, but also because it's got a four-wheel drive system exclusive to Ferrari called 4RM, which is 50% lighter than conventional four-wheel drive, plus it provides intelligent power to each wheel as needed. Cool, right?
Volkswagen Touareg
This model was originally jointly manufactured by Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche, so it was a big deal back when it originally came out in 2002. But, to be sure, this mid-sized crossover is still a big deal even to this day, thanks to it's nifty features, like off-road capable four-wheel drive, and it's nifty exterior, which looks amazing.
Land Rover Discovery
The Land Rover Discovery was introduced in 1989, and it has seen five generations since then. The fifth generation is square, yes, but the corners are rounded, giving it a unique shape. Are you going to trek through the wilderness, or take the kids to soccer practice? It's hard to say when you're behind the wheel of this puppy.
BMW X5
This vehicle stepped (or, drove, we guess) onto the market back in 1999, and it's been going strong ever since. The BMW X5 has got all the refinement and luxury that we've come to expect from a BMW, and it's also got a little something other SUVs don't. See, 'cause this isnt' an SUV at all, it's an SAV, a sports activity vehicle, which is sorta the same...but different.
Aston Martin DB11
This model has a clam shell hood, and we are digging it, *Hank Hill voice* we tell ya what. It looks so fast, like you can almost see the wind whipping over and around it as you zoom in and out of lanes on the highway, cutting people off without using your blinker because, admit it, that's always how people who own luxury cars drive.
Cadillac Escalade
Cadillac: Even the name says, "Fancy". There's a reason so many retired people aspire to own a Cadillac, and that's because not only are they reliable, they're elegant, and the Cadillac Escalade is no exception. This is an SUV that feels (and low-key looks, too) like a limousine. Nothing will make you feel like a celebrity quite like a Cadillac Escalade.
Bentley Bentayaga
A luxury, all-wheel drive crossover, this car looks like an SUV Pokemon who has evolved to the second stage. It's not quite a luxury car anymore, but it isn't quite a luxury SUV yet. Don't get us wrong, we're not complaining, that's just an observation, and if you ask us, the Bentley Bentayga makes that look work. What say you?
Mercedes-Benz G-Class
This is like the Hummer for people who have more taste than ego. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is square enough to make others on the road make jokes about how it looks like a refrigerator box, but sophisticated enough to make others on the road jealous at the same time. Is it good, or is it completely pass-worthy? You decide!
Maserati Quattroporte
And here we have another vehicle that sounds like a Harry Potter spell, but the Maserati Quattroporte is definitely NOT the same as the Maserati Levante; it's its own kind of awesome entirely. The Quattroporte is a luxury sports sedan, not an SUV, and its name literally translates to "four doors" because it has (big surprise here) four doors.
Audi Q8
A luxury crossover SUV coupe, the Audi Q8, this car has an edgy, aggressive but in a good way kind of look about it, and it really works. This car says, "Don't mess with me." It's very assertively elegant, and if that sounds like something you'd like, then we reckon this vehicle is up your alley.
Tesla Model X
Mid-size and all electric, the Tesla Model X has a lot going for it, including, and possibly coolest of all, it's set of falcon wing doors. Ugh, finally! We can't wait to pretend we're in Back to the Future every time we hop in this thing to go to the grocery store. Alright, so it's no DeLorean, but it's got it going on in its own way, right?
Jaguar F-Pace
The Jaguar F-Pace has something that we only aspire to have. A codename. And even though it's only X761, we still think that's pretty cool. Obviously, another neat thing about this car is how awesome it looks. It's rounded, it's aerodynamic, but there's still a whole lot of room inside of it. All we can say is, we're big fans. What about you?
Volvo XC90
The Volvo XC90 came in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive—which, when you think about it, makes sense, because you can't rightly have a car with no-wheel drive. Pretty sure that wouldn't work. Anyway, this mid-size crossover was a lovely luxury vehicle any car owner would be proud to drive around. At least, we would, but what do you think?
Alfa Romeo 4C
We could go for the obvious and make some kind of clever pun about Shakespeare's famous play and this car, the Alfa Romeo 4C, but we won't. Instead, we'd just like to point out this gorgeous car's...well, everything about it, really. Yeah, it looks amazing. It's super duper cool, but in a classic, timeless way, no? What do you think of it?
Porsche Cayenne
Finally! Somebody had the guts to name their car model after one of our favorite spices! Still waiting for a car manufacturer to name their newest model Ginger or Anise or Cumin, but this is a step in the right direction. This luxury crossover SUV has all the suave sophistication that we've come to expect from Porsche, with an extra dose of style for good measure.
