That is, and for most of driving life has certainly an appeal for me - to have something different from what you see everyday on the road.
But that is not to say something in me has a lot of respect for Porsches etc and no doubt if I got to drove all the 'competitors' I might find the experience more rewarding in many, but for me the badge image is sadly a factor that attracts far too many that are not true car enthusiasts but feel the need for a status symbol and sadly is a fact of life. And, although the 350/370 are not cheap to run I suspect that compared to most sports cars with similar power outputs they are one of the least expensive.
