I think we dont own these cars to be "financially savvy" we own them because we are drivers, and we are passionate car owners. Other cars that are "financially smart" such as a Chevy malibu hybrid, is not a drivers car, its a "get me from point A to point B" type car. To me, its more than just getting there, its how you get there, and how it makes you feel. I swear my 04 X5 gets more looks than brand new other cars. I'm happy with it
