I'm guessing 350z vs. the Evo or WRX sti.

Here is what I've learned matters to me with luxury purchases. (And a high performance car is a luxury purchases in that it's something you are buying to excite you not because you require it.) I have to be proud of it and I have to feel that I've bought something special with my money. I want to look at the item and gush at how well designed and engineered it is. Practical considerations don't compensate for the lack of emotion.
