Ownership Economy

There is an old adage which goes something like this: "The cheap man always pays more in the long run."
Consumer Reports magazine recently reached a similar conclusion when it announced the results of a study that compared the cost of ownership of more than 300 cars.
Consumer Reports noted that a car with a cheaper sticker price can often cost consumers more in the long run when compared to a higher-priced alternative.
The report, which appeared in Consumer Reports' Annual April Auto Issue, was based on a comparison of the 300 models in the Consumer Reports database. In short, the report concluded that a car's sticker price is one of many factors that should be taken into account when trying to decide between two cars in the same class.
...
For example... the purchase price of a Toyota Highlander is about $3,000 more than a V6 Ford Explorer -- but the Explorer's total cost of ownership is an extra $6,500 over those five years.

Scion
In the interest of keeping things simple for buyers, Scions come in only one trim. However, buyers have the option of customizing their rides with a host of aftermarket accessories, such as a subwoofer, body kits and custom exhausts. Scion also offers no-haggle pricing, the same policy that has been offered by Saturn. Under this system, buyers pay the list (window sticker) price, thus streamlining the negotiation process.
So far, no-haggle pricing, a simple and well-equipped model lineup and a variety of dealer-added options have combined to make the Scion brand a surprise hit with American consumers. The economy-car segment isn't exactly the first place you'd look for stylish, fun-to-drive vehicles, but Scion has changed all that, offering cars rich with a seductive exuberance that belies their modest pricing
