In this episode of The Fast Lane Car, the guys delve into the world of affordable luxury cars. They explore four vehicles that were once the epitome of opulence but can now be had for a fraction of their original price. First up is the 2006 Mercedes-Benz w220, a generation of the S-Class that is often criticized for its uninspiring design and a decline in quality. However, it still offers some luxury features like a V8 engine, air suspension, and a lavish interior with memory seats and a navigation screen.
Next on the list is the 2011 Infiniti QX56, a reliable and powerful luxury SUV. Despite its polarizing looks, it boasts a 5.6 liter V8 engine, spacious interior with heated seats and steering wheel, and a comfortable ride. It may not have the same brand cachet as its competitors, but it still commands respect on the road.
Finally, they showcase the 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio ti sport, a vehicle that exudes Italian sex appeal and sportiness. With its two-liter four-cylinder turbo engine, all-wheel drive, and stylish interior, it offers a taste of luxury at a fraction of the cost. This car may not be the top-of-the-line Quadrifoglio version, but it still delivers a thrilling driving experience.
Overall, these cars present an opportunity to experience luxury without breaking the bank. While they may have their quirks and potential ownership costs, they offer a lot of car for the money. So, if you're in the market for a budget-friendly luxury vehicle, these options are definitely worth considering.
