2007 4dr Sedan 507-horsepower 6.2L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 It is a $100,000 car. It is expensive, and it is expensive to maintain. This is easily a $150,000 investment over 3 years.

7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Much higher price than competators.
2005 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
