first post here. but...
i dont think you can call a 9g a sporty vehicle. at all. they are slow - i mean you guys in the US even have four banger versions. they dont handle well- 1700kg of car on a FWD platform with plenty of body roll.
however they can be made to be quite luxurious. with the leather interiors.
however i dont equate lots of chrome with luxury. my 2c :P
