My Other Rotary Nomination

I agree that fuel prices are at a disgusting price and that I MIGHT be purchasing a mpg car just as a commuter. BUT (this is a huge but) don't kid yourself that the price of fuel will eventually lower in price. It can only go up. That means that it is an economic constant that we all have to deal with. Nexcis, you are SO correct in using the price of gasoline in equating how much money you make. It's not going away. It effects everyone....thus my point: You can't change the price of fuel so does that mean all the current gas guzzlers will go into storage or are no longer used? Nope, we just have to drive them at the increase price per mile.
Sidenote: anyone want to sell me a 1977 VW Rabbit Diesel 1.5L?

The original purpose of this thread was to vote on a car of the month and in this case validate the "PIUS" as a worthy contender.
I feel voting this car in is akin to trying to include Oprah in a "Hot Woman Contest" that Halle Berry is currently the champion of. You might think she should be considered because she's a woman (well, the jury is still out on this fact) or maybe even because she has some African heritage in her genes. I am willing to bet ALL of you reading this agree that those two should NEVER be compared less we insult the beauty of Halle Berry. It would be insulting to an RX-7 to even be mentioned in the same sentence as a Toyota Prius. Which is what I just did!
