I agree, I would much rather have a Beef Steak than a Rice Cake.
Funny isn't it, when you go to an Italian restaurant you pay $40.00 for a plate of pasta when you can buy enough pasta to feed 100 people with $40.00, same thing about Italian cars.
Now as for the the Asian cars, Chineese Buffet or all you can eat Sushi, same feeling except I get hungry after 30 minutes of eating at a Chineese Buffet and I DO NOT EAT RAW FISH!!
