eCARnomics and Style

Purchasing a car is an important decision that many people face at least once in their
lifetimes. Some believe a car is a machine used to get you from point A to B, while others
believe it is the experience that counts. I believe that a car must be economically sound, yet
stylish and must provide sufficient room. The price, the mpg, and the monthly cost all determine
the cost to own the vehicle, while the picture and the horsepower provide the experience.

the Ford 2015 Mustang. Though I

believe it lacks some of the stylish
aspects of the Camaro
and the Challenger, along with
having the least amount of
horsepower of the three pony

cars,

its lower price, under $40,000,

better miles per gallon, and just

the

right amount of power and sleek

design make it the affordable car with great style coupled with horsepower.
