That BMW Might Not Be The Best Choice - Consider These Instead

 In today's market, their are some highly overrated cars. Might I bring the BMW 5-Series to your attention? For a car that has sold in excess of half a million units each year, just in the US and UK, it is a supremely disappointing car, lacking the passion that defined the BMW brand for much of it's history. BMW is not the only culprit, however, as Mercedes, Audi, and Lexus are all massively overrated and mistakenly regarded as the peak of luxury cars. If you don't desire the clout that comes with a snobby Mercedes-Benz badge, then you have the  luxury (pun intended) of choosing from many different options, each considerably better than the status quo German luxury car that everyone thinks is so spectacular.

INTERESTED IN THE BMW 3-SERIES? CONSIDER THE GENESIS G70.

Without a doubt one of the most attractive-looking cars on the road today, the Genesis G70 packs a big dose of sportiness and luxury. It should tell you a lot that Motor Trend magazine picked the G70 as the 2019 Car Of The Year, praising Hyundai (Genesis' parent company) for the fact that they have "Built a better BMW". It's not just the media trying to compare the 2, as Genesis has publicly gone on the record to say that the G70 is a "BMW 5-Series fighter" Motor Trend wrote that the G70 "Is a stunning, value-packed sport sedan that should shake up any shopper's consideration list. Car&Driver were also big fans, handing the G70 an impressive 9/10 rating, compared to the BMW's 8/10. Kelley Blue Book, widely regarded as one of the most reliable sources on cars, were hooked on the Genesis' superior luxury and energy, even handing it an astounding 4.8/5 rating, or 9.6/10.

INTERESTED IN THE AUDI A7? CONSIDER THE KIA STINGER

I know it looks like a Maserati, but no, it's a Kia. Right now Kia is on a roll, making tremendously good cars and SUVs. The Telluride is without a doubt the best 3-row SUV on the market. The K5 is an incredibly well balanced sport sedan. The Carnival is one of the best  and highest quality minivans you can buy in 2021. The Sorento is a versatile, fun, 7-seater. The Seltos and Soul are the best in a crowded field: small SUV. The Rio is possibly the best first car you could imagine, boasting good driving dynamics at a cheap price. The Stinger is just the latest showcase of Kia's outstanding ability to make really good vehicles. 

In the Stinger, Kia has a 365 hp monster that can tear up a racetrack, while also providing an Audi A7-like level of luxury. Whereas the Audi costs around $70K, you can take a home a  well-equipped Stinger for only $33-51K. I highly advise checking it out.

INTERESTED IN THE FERRARI 488? CONSIDER THE CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8

I know you most likely aren't not considering buying a Ferrari. But, for the sake of argument, let's say you were. The Ferrari 488 costs roughly $250K, and is a great car. It is a beautiful car, and is a terrific driving companion. However, what if I told you that for only one-quarter the price, you could get a supercar that is as good, if not better, than the Italian Stallion. (Pardon the tragically overused cliche) The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette is what I'm talking about, and it is possibly an even more gorgeous car, and possibly an even better car to drive. Motor Trend magazine were big admirers, as they gave the 'Vette their Car Of The Year award, and their BDC award (Best Driver's Car). They praised Chevy, calling the C8 a "Mid-engine masterpiece". They also were impressed the unbelievable value of the Corvette, saying "Why would you but a BMW M4 for the same money?" and questioning the relevance of the C8's main competition, saying "Besides a badge, what does a Ferrari give you? I'm sure you're beginning to recognize the game-changing nature of the C8. If the Ferrari is for the 0.0001%, then Chevy has made an equally great car for a much bigger chunk of the population. They've hit a homerun with this one, and we both know it.
