I love the Tesla for it's performance and Lotus chassis, and I truly respect the Volt for it's sophisticated engineering, flexible energy options, and long battery design life. But, come on, since your options include a Ferrari, there is only one choice. Get yourself a Ferrari while you can.

But I want to be green, you say? Well, then maybe the following logic can appease your conscience:

Green is a mindset. Realize that you can either buy a new 'green' car, with a significant environmental burden associated with it's manufacturing, or you can recycle a car that already exists like a nice 308. Sure, you will buy a bit more gas, but by recycling a car (buying used instead of new) you will be avoiding all the environmental impact of manufacturing a new vehicle. Note that the thought of buying a used Prius must NOT enter your mind, or the entire justification falls apart.
