I really cannot believe a viper is LESS expensive to own the a Porsche. Besides, who drives a Viper as a daily driver? I'd be willing to bet a much MUCH smaller group then Porsche owners.

Does the article say what they used to measure the cost of ownership? The 911 is an expensive car to buy but the gas milage is as good or better then my V6 Passat (kid transporter and winter car) and much better then my V8 Audi S4.

Plenty of more expensive cars take virtual nosedives when it comes to initial depreciation...Maserati comes to mind. And then there's my friend who's trying to sell a Maybach with less than 10k miles on it right now and looking to take a $100k bath.
I haven't read the article, either, but I imagine insurance costs are heavily weighted.

That list is total BS! I own a 2003 745i BMW and with the free BMW service for 3 years total ownership cost other than fuel has been $0.
Where's the Ferrari and Lambo among other expensive to maintain cars?
