Speaking of Cadddylax, is there a more over-priced car on the road? You can easily get over $70K for an optioned out CTS.
That’s getting into AMG Merc territory.

I agree with your point on Porsche vs. Corvette, but damn, I’d really love a ZR1 or a CTS-V.

My friend has had 2 911 Turbos, a Lamborghini Gallardo, and now a Nissan GTR in the last 4 years. The Porsches have been the best overall, considering fit, finish, performance, and every day livability. The Lambo was a real head turner, but man its ride was really stiff for every-day driving and the interior wasn’t as nice as I was expecting for a $230,000 car (Spyder). He got rid of it because he was sick of getting it towed 350 miles one-way every 5,000 miles for an oil change, besides the other problems he had with it.

The GTR, for 1/2 the price of his Porsches, and 1/3 the price of his Lambo, is a steal. It’s the most livable as a daily driver and its portly figure is compensated well by the engine and electronics. The interior is better than the ZR1 by a mile and almost on par with the Porsches. His only problem with it is that it says “Nissan” (and that it isn’t a manual tranny).
