It looks like "road trip" and "efficient car" has different meaning in our languages.

Go and buy the corvette. Than stand up bravely like a man, saying "I decided. It was my choice." everytime you crawl up from that low bucket shaped seat shaken by few hours of driving on these low profile tyres. Just do us a favor and don't blame ecomodders.

P.S. Your heart is fighting your brain. So either choose by heart knowingly accepting all the consequences, or, if you need a spreadsheet for justification, maybe its wise to wait few weeks until the initial obsession wears off.
