I'm guessing you're ruling Tesla out due to the price tag, or do you actually have something left to be desired about their Model S and Model X ? I personally think that the Model S is a wonderful car, except for the high price tag that sets it out of my reach as a young worker, and the enormous center console touch screen that I feel breaks the peaceful and discreet look of the car.

Exactly

Yeah, some of us love the retro European thing 😀

What styling? It severely lacks any. For that kind of money, I would expect something that looks a lot sharper, more like a Lamborghini.

I think that's a great looking car. For me, top pick on your short list as far as looks go.

Did you make it over to the Land Rover dealership?

I like the look of that model as well. I've owned 2 Volvos, and we've had 4 in total in the family. The cost of regular maintenance and repairs/parts is outrageous!
