Taylor Lautner Buys a $200K Car: Would You Ever Spend That Much Money on a Vehicle?

Kanye's not the only one with a cool new ride.

Though Taylor Lautner's new Benzo's only in the six-figure range, it's still pretty dope.

TMZ reports the "Twilight" star just bought himself a $200,000 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in silver.

reports twilight star 200000 2012 mercedes-benz sls amg silver

It looks like something out of "Batman" or "Mission: Impossible," not exactly what you'd picture the world's most famous werewolf driving.

Apparently, the 19-year-old heartthrob walked into an L.A. dealership on Wednesday with his parents and drove the car off the lot himself. Sounds like a typical day in the life of an American teenager, right?

Unfortunately, the world is a cruel and sometimes arbitrary place, so many of us are not cruising in extra dough like Lautner. Even in a booming economy, we wouldn't ever be able to afford a car with "gullwing doors" and "rearwings" and other various expensive-sounding wings. Wings, apparently, are only for Jay Leno and teenage werewolves.

    Sure as hell would... Though, anything NOT made in America and built AFTER 1973 would be completely out of the question...
    If I had the money, there was one car that sold at the Barrett Jackson auctions for just over $300,000... I'd have DEFINITELY paid to have that...

    Yes, I would. No winged doors though, it looks like it could hit a person in the face if you get out the car near people.

    "Anything not made in America and built after 1973 would be completely out of the question" Italy makes the best sports cars, Japan makes the best simple cars, the United States makes the best gasoline consuming trucks.

    If it's a car I desire, am passionate about and can afford it, why not?

    Taylor's a rich kid. It's unfortunate that the celebrities have so much money to dish out while many of the world's economy is going downhill and people being made redundant, so little jobs left in this world... But that's life. Bummer.

    Honestly, I just want a car that runs, and has air conditioning. The rest of the money could be put towards paying off my loans, or 20 tacos. Sigh.

    What car is that? Personally I'd go with a '69 Chevy Camaro with red glossy paint and black racing stripes, a green Reventon Lamborghini, the Farari (is that right?) California with a red glossy paint, or a Bugatti which I can't think of the name. Crs? I don't know.

    Not a fan of gull wing doors, but I'm not going to fault the guy for buying a car he wanted. He has the money, why not?

    Nut on the road there's something called a SPEED LIMIT, what's the point of a car that can go to two hundred miles per hour if you only go 40 on the streets? Waste of money. I'd get a Lamborghini or Farari or Bugatti just to show and drive around in. Even a '69 Red glossy Camaro with black racing stripes.

    Is it comfortable to drive? I've always heard people who get a Mercedes trade in for a BMW because they are more comfortable. I've always liked the BMW SUV, just curious.

    This is a sedan and has more rear legroom than most 4 doors. VERY comfortable!!1
