So?  Driving a Mercedes is more comfortable than a Lada. Even so,
both of them get you there and both top around 200km/h.

Sheer specs is not a good reason to change; it is just a novelty

car for this year's model, unless you have money to burn or feel
like bragging at work, which is what most Mac/PC user do.
