5 years ago I spent 20K on a second hand Merc that I love driving. At the time, hybrids let alone electrical were way more expensive than a diesel car.

I'll be damned if I have to spend 50K on a car that doesn't even get me to the south of France in a day. Yeah, I only take long road trips a few times a year but if I do, I want to be able to do it in my expensive car.

It's like buying a top spec macbook pro but if you want to edit video even once or twice a year, you got to rent another computer.
