A nice, compact high quality car with nice interior can be as "upscale" as a 5 meter barge.

And LOL, yes. I'd like to buy my cars in the U.S. and import it to Europe. Only the amount of bureaucratic red tape and fees is staggering. Well, and in addition to paying inflated list prices we also pay fuel prices at least twice as high as in the U.S. (even California).
Entry level in the sense that the X5 has more wood and leather and less plastic and pleather.
