I saw one the other day for $90k. It got 17 mpg. So you spend a little up front but look at what you get in return.

People just need to think harder about these things. So your car costs 3 years salary. IT's about choices. People just need to eat more rice and beans and watch less cable and buy more Masseratti's. It's simple.
