No, baco, I think you're agreeing with me 100%... on the main point anyways -- that there's simply no comparing a Taurus and an Infiniti
Now, the side issue on whether I'd spend the extra money we might disagree. But that's just my personal feelings on car prices. I'd never buy a car over 30K (today's prices) unless I was much better off than I am currently. Sure, I could make the payments now with no problem, but I wouldn't get twice the enjoyment out of it. Yeah, I'm cheap.
I am, like most people, just not willing to spend that kind of money on a car whether I have the money or not. Which is exactly the market that Ford is aiming for now and would lose if they priced their cars at European prices.
