It's about using the right tool for the job.

I had this argument on NASIOC w/ someone (actually from Reno) about their $40,000 Jeep SRT-8. For $40,000 you could have a diesel truck that can tow/haul more than the Jeep, plus a Miata that's faster at the track, plus a Mustang that's faster at the strip, plus a Honda Civic that gets twice the fuel mileage... sure you'd have 4 cars, but you're spending less money and getting more performance than the Jeep in all quantifiable performance categories.
