Luxury can mean different things to different people, but one word many associate with the term is "expensive." While it's true you'll pay extra to get a car that pampers you and makes you stand out from the crowd, you might not need to fork over as much as you think. We've put together a list of vehicles that check all the right "luxury" boxes while looking hot at the same time. And most importantly, you won't have to sell a kidney to get in one.

Infiniti Q50

The car meant to replace the venerable G37 (which is still on sale) goes by the name Q50. If the "Q" designation sounds familiar, it's because it once was reserved for Infiniti's flagship sedan. Creating that association between Infiniti's bread-and-butter model and its former range-topper was no accident, as the brand hopes to challenge Germany's best (really, this time) with the new Q50. Sharp styling, ample power from its 3.7-liter V-6 engine, and a modern interior with dual-screen infotainment system are just a few of the Q50's selling points. Its starting price of $37,955 is another.

Lexus IS

Though its aggressive styling is a love-it-or-hate-it proposition, the Lexus IS has a lot of other things going for it. A competent chassis gives the IS exceptional handling ability, and a handsome interior upholstered in supple leather makes the IS' cabin a nice place to be. Two engines are offered on the IS, both V-6s rated at 204 hp and 306 hp, respectively. The base IS 250 starts at $37,010, but if you really want to impress your friends and family, step up to an F Sport model. With that trim, you get a configurable LCD gauge cluster inspired by the LFA, which has a central binnacle that physically slides over the screen when you want to toggle between information displays.
