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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

Whatever the source, you don't seem to be paying any attention to
Donal's requirements in a car....it's class and ability to be chosen
over others for prime parking spots in casinos. You may ignore his
needs and the mentality behind them, but this is not something that
interests me in a car.

Speak for yourself, I have no soul, at least not in the biblical sense.
