Hopefully they are put together better than the German brother BMW

Audi & Porsche are the only two that aren't somewhat of shop queens once you get past their base level vehicles.

I had a Saab Viggen, with a mere 230 BHP (though people tested it higher) and a lot of torque, and my problem was there was really nowhere to drive it. Most of the roads I travel on have speed limits of 25-35 mph. I found myself doing double the speed limit, and then realizing I was doing that after a while. These are road people walk and take their dogs on. After that, I bought cheaper and slower cars.
Unless you want to go to a track, having a car like that doesn't make sense to me. I watch MotorWeek and my kids love The Grand Tour on Amazon, but I can't see buying a car as a daily driver that has 500-1,000 bhp. I would use maybe 1/10 of that.

My old boss has a 2018 C class AMG cabriolet. The C63.
Looking forward to a spin. He told me he basically cannot let it out often.
Love my CLK500 cabriolet. Way less car, and easy to live with for the summer.

I drove one of these when it packed a the normally aspirated 6.3 L V-8. it was a beast back then - I got it over 100 mph by the end of the entrance ramp to the highway. It snarled like a bull in heat ! Great car. I almost bought it but settled for a C7 Corvette.
