Steep? Don't you mean cheap?


[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.



I dunno. What exactly is a sub-prime buyer? My home is paid off after
14 months and I still own lakefront. Does paying off 590K worth of
property make me subprime? I hope I can keep that status!



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



I can buy a loaded IS 350 for about the same price as the Evo or I
could get a nice GS 350 for a couple of grand more. An M35 from
Infiniti is certainly doable as well. Now think of the EvoX in the
same price range, but with very little comfort or luxury. Why is that,
Donal? The problem here is you don't know the difference between a
luxury car, sports sedan, sports car and specialty tuners car. You
just have no clue.



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



I'm impressed with the pretty DB9, but not with it's handling or
power. It's FAR behind the pack.



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




Sure I know what class means, Donal. But you're a child to think it's
wrapped up in objects like cars.
