Top 5 Modern Luxury Car Fails

There have been many new luxury cars that have come out in the past year, but not all of them are any good. Some have gone in the total failure list. Here is a list of luxury cars that have failed to be luxury or any good at all.

1. Mercedes CLA

Mercedes CLA

When Mercedes first introduced the idea of a small luxury car that started at an appealing price, it sounded like a great idea. Sadly, they failed trying to make it happen. The Mercedes CLA is awful. The interior feels dated and the ride is bumpy. It is unreliable and doesn't even have real leather as standard, nor a sunroof or a back up camera. You must pay extra for those options.

Infiniti Q60

The Infinti Q60 has been around since 2010. It is the coupe version of the Infiniti G37. It was renamed in 2013 from the G37 to Q60. It has Nissan's old infotainment system which was found in the 2009 Murano, Maxima and many more cars of that time. With the base price at forty thousand dollars, I would rather spend my money on a BMW 4 series with starts at forty one thousand dollars.

3. Lexus NX

Lexus NX

The Lexus NX drives okay and it feels luxury. However, it is the design that has made me put it on this list. The car is shaped like a box. However, the added a bunch of lines and crazy lights that made it look weird. To add to the issue, it has an enormous grill that looks like it eats children. For the interior, they have a bulky dashboard and a hard to use touch pad.

4. Lexus RX

Lexus RX

The Lexus RX used to a car for wealthy mothers do drive around and run errands in luxury and safety. However, they changed it. Let's start with the proportions. It seems long but doesn't seem that fat. That is the least of its problems. It is ugly and the shape of the car is messed up. The only good part about this ugly thing is that it is very luxurious on the inside.

5. Infiniti QX50

Infiniti QX50

Like the Q60, this is outdated and has been around since 2008 and has the old Nissan infotainment system. It used to be called the EX35 till they updated it in 2014 and renamed to QX50. The exterior looks different, but the interior is still the same.

5 Things I Hate About BMW

BMW's are among some of the most popular cars for people with the money to buy one. We love BMW's but no car is perfect. This is no exception so with that said, here are 5 things that we hate about BMW.

1. The Reliability

BMW 328i

BMW's are not known for being reliable. They love to start having issues after the warranty ends. All types if things could go wrong. The headlights going out are just the first sign of a line of problems. Then, the window switches break or water pump busts. There are a million things that can go wrong with this car, especially since the parts are complicated.

2. The Boring Interior

BMW X6 Interior

The BMW interior you see in most of its new cars are identical to each other.  Even on most of its new cars such as the X4, it is still identical to most of the other BMWs. IN fact, it would be hard to tell the difference of a sixty grand X5 interior and a forty grand 228i.

3.Overpriced

BMW Active Hybrid 5

Some BMW's start at a cheap price for BMW. Keyword is start. Back up camera isn't standard. Navigation isn't standard. If you want the big screen in BMW photos, you also have to pay for that. Power seats are optional. Lumbar support is optional. Aluminum trim in the lower models is optional. Sunroof is optional. Leather is optional. What is not optional? It is ridiculous.

4. Depreciation

BMW i3

BMW's don't last long, like many other German cars. If you buy a new BMW 7 series, then after five years, your car would be worth thirty nine percent of the value you bought it at new. That is astonishing. Of coarse, most BMW's are higher than that. Most of the SUV's are able to stay above fifty percent, while most of the cars are slightly lower than fifty percent.

5.  The SUV Coupes

BMW X4

BMW sparked a bad fire. They made the X6 which lead to the Mercedes GLE coupe, the disgusting and failed Acura ZDX, and the future Audi Q8. Sure, an SUV coupe sounds like a great idea, but just like socialism, it failed. However, it is sill popular. There are some key things that they missed. First of all, they aren't as practical as a normal SUV. The sloping roof cuts into head room and cargo space. The second mark is that they're too low to do any real off roading. The third problem is that they are to tall and bulky to look any good.

BMW's are great cars. However, there are things that stink about the brand.
