According to a recent review luxurious doesn't necessarily have to mean expensive. Cars.com released its list of "Top 10 Luxury Impersonators," which are vehicles that dealers and automakers can market as having plush features without the daunting prices.
"Most automakers have upgraded the interiors in their cars so even the bottom trim levels in most cars have a more upscale look and feel," stated Cars.com editor-in-chief Patrick Olsen.
"When you start getting into higher trim levels, consumers might be surprised by the type of luxury features they can find for less than $30,000," Olsen continued.
The following are Cars.com's top "impersonators," listed by price in ascending order, with editorial commentary included:
1. 2008 Volkswagen Jetta
2. 2008 Mazda3
