Ever wonders what you could do with a cool $200,000… after you win Fear Factor? Of course you did, and you're probably going to say you'll buy a car, otherwise you wouldn't be reading news about cars in the first place. But what sort of car?
$200,000 will get you an awesome Mercedes or BMW, maybe even a used Lamborghini. But a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid? Don't be silly! First of all, that only costs from $74,000, plus you really don't want one.

However, GM has recently launched the Escalade Hybrid in China, and it costs 1.68 million Chinese yuan. At today's exchange rate, that's a whopping $270,000 for an SUV that went on sale in 2008.

That doesn't sound like very good value, but maybe some Chinese wrapper make a small fortune recently and needs something that matches his baggy jeans. Put that in you soy milk and drink it!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
