Where else on Earth where you can walk into a dealership, plunk down $72,125, and drive away in a car capable of 12-second quarter-miles and mid-24+ mpg on the highway when you pedal softly?

Your everyday car may be special to you, what with its nice rims, a cool satellite radio system, enough room in the console to hide evidence of trips to Carvel. Chances are, though, it's a Camry , Accord, Fusion, or Malibu--all fine cars, but not really epic examples of the history of carmaking.
