Happy birthday!

Very impressive Ferrari Killer there. Now all we need is the next ZR1 to put Nissan in their place with that Pesky GTR and we will be in business.

Pretty much this. Beetle and Mini are orders of magnitude better than the Veloster.

Yep. Waiting for them to come out with a cheaper car. I would love to own a Tesla.

I think you said it best. "Wretched Econoboxes" Sort of like saying you caught herpes from an unattractive one night stand, but there was someone even more of a mud fence you could have hooked up with instead. I would seriously try to move into an urban neighborhood and give up driving before I would want to own either.

It wasn't a judgement call as to which is better... but I think that if the Viper is going to get more power, it needs to be more successful at putting it on the pavement in a way that doesn't include a high probability of killing the driver. ...and this is an excellent point. Even a Focus ST or GTI is powerful enough to kill the driver given a little inattention. In my SCCA flagging days, I saw many a Viper off track when I was a corner worker. Money cannot buy common sense!

Different strokes for different folks...which is why we have both the Verano and the ATS. Some people prefer the more high strung nature of the Viper.

Viper is a misunderstood vehicle. The more time you spend with one, the more you will like it.

...and Balthazar, methinks the depreciation is a badge of Honor for these folks. How else could one explain perhaps a Brabus 6x6 G63 G class that costs the better part of a million dollars and has actual gold on the intake? Conspicuous consumption is how these richer folks differentiate between themselves and guys like us who actually have to put tools in our hands to make a living.

If depreciation was the only metric that we use, a 65 GTO and a 70 Cutlass 442 were god awful cars when I was a sophomore in high school, because you could find them for dirt cheap. There are cars I love like the fist gen RX7 that can be picked up for fifteen hundred, and cars I love like the Tucker that will bring a million and a half. However, a 65 GTO, 70 442, first gen RX7 and the tucker all have a sense of style and add something unique to the time period they were new, something the top of the line Benz does not do. Would an S class be available at the same price as a CTS, I would still prefer the CTS. I just like it better. And I really don't care if MB sells an S class to every rice farmer in Vietnam or every lawyer in Boston. As Z06 said, if sales volume was everything, the Corolla would be the worlds best car.

Yep. GM can get things really right when they want to!

Were I to buy a car in that class a diesel would be mandatory.

Equinox SS would be sweet!

Interestingly I read a book about actual millionaires. It suggested people with real wealth often live modestly. I could afford to drive a much more expensive car and choose not to. Actually, were I a multi millionaire the Impala is as expensive a car as I would want. And I would prefer a VW GTI to an S class, personally.
