[Hmmm .....] if you translate "raw" into "unrefined" then maybe you
were correct.

40K for a car with virtually no comforts beyond power windows is not
what anyone would call cheap.


Hmmm..
Is 40k a lot of money to a sub-prime buyer? Possibly.



You can get a really nice 3 series or
Lexus for that money and there are plenty of well rounded cars in that
price range.


Unless Lexus are really cheap in the States, then you can only
buy an entry level Lexus for 40K.

The Evo X aims at the driver market, which is not you.


Quite!
You want to buy into the "I'm so cool to be driving this car" market.
A DB9 impresses common folk, but not hardcore enthusiasts.


Yes. A DB9 wouldn't impress a hardcore enthusiast like you.

The fact
that YOU ignore it's weak performance says it all.
A Dodge Cobalt SS can handle about as well as the DB9!


You really do understand what "class" means.
You compare a Dodge Cobalt with a DB9?

Why am I surprised? You cannot see the difference between
a DB9 and a mass produced boy racer.

Brokeback Mountain proved that you can make money
out of films about the gay community. If you were
any good, then you could afford an Aston.
