Awesome, thanks for the replies! The higher price of fuel and repairs and such are something I have known since it's mostly Mercedes, but the common things that need replacement are great to know. I haven't completely decided a Crossfire is what I will get, I'm also looking at the Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G35 Coupe, etc., but now when it is time for me to buy, hopefully pretty soon, I'll be much more informed.
