The hostility to people who are well off on this forum is ridiculous.

Not that I'm well off, nor did I read through this thread to see any hostility but I'd imagine most comments were in good fun.............or they were jealous. I know I am

IMO if people have enough money to buy their kids a car then more power to them, they work for a reason. I was bought a 2 year old pickup truck when I turned 16. Not exactly a 330Ci but I can see why people get upset at those bashing parents who buy their kids cars.

Well, parents that work 50-60 hours per week need to spend their money somewhere. My parents decide to spend it on homes and their two kids. I thank the guy who posted last and actually knows where I'm kind've coming from. Not that any of you guys don't, but yeah I've gotten a lot of sh!t from people thourgh out high school about that. Hey atleast they see their parents.

you've got to be joking. 330i for a tsx? most folks step up to an m3 or better on the bimmer forums. the tsx is more of an alternative to an accord, camry, passat but not a 330i or g35. don't get me wrong. i like the tsx for what it is, but there's no comparison to a 330i with the performanc package. and yes, this come from a guy with a 330i (and a passat).

Spence, essentially, I think everyone wishes you the best in your upcoming decision to keep the 330 or aggressively trade down to the TSX. But in all fairness, while I personally believe in the sincerity of your information quest, unless you have been living under rock, you must understand how incredulous this thread you have started is.

Many folks work 50-60 hour weeks and could not afford the 330i and kids and house and private schools, etc. So there is a certain calousness that you protray as well. As it only takes a quick visit to a BMW and TSX dealership to acertain that indeed the 330i is a completely different and higher class of vehicle (in price alone), your question was read by some here as "Should I keep the cream or go with the powdered milk?"

After all of this time I still have not seen where you have actually gone and driven a tsx and given any of us feedback as to whether or not you liked it...more...or less than your BMW. This kinda adds to the "in-your-face-rich-kid" nature of your initial question. In any case, I do wish you the best, and I hope that this dillema is the worst you experience in your life.

BTW...Do you think I should trade my 911 Cabrio in for Miata?

Sounds like a plan. I'll steal my mom's miata.
