Who among us hasn’t driven an old beater and pulled up next to the most beautiful automobile imaginable? Who among us hasn’t drooled over ads of muscle machines or peppy little sports cars on television and in magazines? And finally, who hasn’t figured and refigured their finances desperately searching for that extra hundred bucks in their budget so they could make their dream a reality? Yes, indeed, I dare suggest we’d all like a piece of that new car market. But if you’re like me, just a few dollars short with all your credit cards maxed out, then perhaps you’ll enjoy strolling down fantasy lane. After all, it doesn’t hurt to look.

Alas and alack, for those red-blooded American’s who would never buy a foreign car, you should know that the MOST popular car on the road today is the BMW M6. This little roadster is available in a variety of the latest chic colors for cars, and can be purchased for the intimidating price of $80,000. Ouch, you say? Well, let’s keep going.

If you haven’t seen the Daimler-Chrysler Dodge Viper, then you do not know what cool is. It’s 510-horsepower V-10 engine begs to be let go on the open road and it most certainly does not appeal to the demure female. Owners of this hot car are nearly all up and coming men whose car purchase is meant to represent the likeness of the size of their…wallet.

There can be no synonym for classy car more suitable than the Mercedes Benz. While all models are popular, the S65 AMG sedan with its 604 horsepower for 2007 and epitomizes automotive luxury. People expect to pay dearly for a Mercedes because they are buying a product that screams, “I have money”. So, if you choose to enter a Benz dealership, be sure to take along $70,000 to $80,000 (dollars). Should you see a lady driving round in one of these spoilers, be guaranteed she carries two dozen credit cards in her pocketbook.

Now don’t despair, for those of you who would only buy American made products, we have a couple that should interest you. Let’s begin with the Saturn Sky offered through General Motors. This sharp new roadster is also safe and affordable, putting it near the top of the list for buyers who made $50,000 to $75,000 dollars a year. With a top price of $30,000, well, maybe dreams can come true.
