It’s one of the most stolen/carjacked cars where I live and most likely to be seen driving 100 mph on the expressway with tinted taillights. They were very nice cars when they were new though, one of my favorites.

My wife's cousin bought a car from Carvana and now she doesn't like the interest rate on her loan. Where is the best way to find a lower rate loan? I told her to look in to her credit union with her job. She's a pharmacist at a hospital.

Credit unions are great, where does she bank? I would look into whoever she banks with. Bank of America has decent car loans...

They are stunning...but for the cost (I mean, over $300k) its just not something I would ever consider...maybe if I had a 3+ car garage and had room for a car to drive just for fun and keep my daily I would feel different, but even then the cost is just so much more than I think a car is worth.

Agreed. Our Audi supercharged V6 is fine. It’s a good engine and we’re happy with it, but not “oh my god this is the greatest thing ever”. The NA V6s that came before it were not impressive at all, and the TTV6 that replaced it is also fine. Mercedes has been a similar story. Good but not outstanding V6s. BMW’s I6s are another story entirely, and one that I’m hoping is going to be echoed by the ones Mercedes recently introduced.

I mean sure but the hybrid is a fast enough car and has the electric aspect etc for around town, you said you aren't one to really explore 150+ so the top engine is not needed practically speaking.

And very few people but you "explore 150+" lol. The desire for a certain engine has nothing to do with top speed.
"Practical" and a $200,000+ don't belong in the same universe. The PHEV Flying Spur exists for places where driving a high displacement car is impossible, like in London.
