There aren’t many brands in the world that are as recognizable as the Ferrari brand. Most people know what it stands for, exotic Italian performance cars built for both the streets and racetracks. They are arguably the most recognized and sought after exotic car brand in the world and the 360 Modena certainly upholds that part of the equation.
While there is certainly much truth to the brand’s perception of high end luxury the reality of what Mercedes is in 2016 is probably somewhere south of that and that’s not a bad thing for most of us. They are a luxury auto brand with cars that can easily exceed six figures so to many they are just plain out of reach or are they?
We live in a country (USA) that allows for people of all creeds, race, gender and color to pursue their dreams. The United States is one of the only countries in the world where this is possible. You can pursue all your dreams here and actually make them happen regardless of your social status. That mindset has allowed thousands of people to obtain wealth beyond some of their wildest dreams.
Those not familiar with the i8 you should know it looks like one of those Italian exotics named Ferrari or Lamborghini but this one is from Germany and not quite as finicky to live with.
Remember when real men drove manuals? If you are younger than twenty-five you are probably lost right now but keep reading, as you are about to be enlightened. I’m talking manually shifting your car’s transmission.
Now that you've decided you have the financial wherewithal to pursue a weekend fun toy, now what do you do? Well for starters you are in the right place.
It’s a crazy and confusing time to be in the market for a new vehicle BUT it’s also a great time because lines have been blurred across domestics and imports, luxury and non-luxury. The one constant that remains despite the record level sales is cars are a necessity even in places like New York City and most Americans dream of luxury ownership.
The glut of inventory for luxury vehicles from prestige brands has made owning a luxury vehicle more affordable than ever if you consider buying pre-owned. Whether you are buying near new or something older that is a certified pre-owned vehicle there isn’t an argument based in good logic to buy new.
In the last fifteen years luxury vehicles have been scattered across almost every type of vehicle ranging from the sedan to the sports car and SUV. There's still one vehicle type that on face value seems to be light on luxury and that's the pick up truck. I am here to tell you don't be fooled by the apparent lack of luxury.
