I'd be willing to bet more money the honda driver doesn't have a warranty, cold AC, or leather seats (front & rear). We can go on like this forever, it all comes down to personal preference, nuff said

Oh, and $34K might have been the price when the first came out, but the local dealership tried to sell me one for $29.5. I see people all the time on the net talking about getting them for under $30, so it's not an isolated incident. Any the money excuse gets old, next time save it for a newbie. If it were all about going fast and nothing else, everyone would be in a pinto with a stroked windsor under the hood.
