When the price of a car is more than your annual income, it is time to cut back.

That is a very bad measure, if so, I'd be looking for a Veyron! 10% of gross is more appropriate. Gotta leave some money for other toys

I wonder if they fixed it on the W213, if you put your whole weight on the steering wheel when it's moving, you end up breaking the little gear that moves the steering wheel up and down, at least that's what happened in the previous generations.

10% is a measure that I assume most of us don't adhere to. I can assure that I don't make $650K a year but afford the E just fine.

If I put my full weight on almost anything I can break it.
