I agree with you! 99% of the time everyone is driving their car to and from work or to the mall so needing a car with 9,000 horsepower isn't really necessary.
I'm looking at getting the Veloster Turbo because I think it looks cool, has a ton of gadgets, should be plenty quick and fun, runs on 87 octane, and gets good gas mileage, and it "should" be a pretty good price.
