With the current state of the U.S. economy, one might think
twice about purchases. With that in mind, we’ve gathered
luxury products that offer a little extra.
It’s Electric

For a car that burns no oil, costs pennies per mile, and goes from zero to 60 mph in 3. 9 seconds, consider the Tesla Roadster. The electric car is both chic and earth-friendly. Tesla is taking orders for the 2009 model. www.teslamotors.com; 650.413.6300. Base price: $109,000.

wines at the proper temperature
and humidity, but it also has a
computerized cellar management
system to keep track of your
inventory. www.monogram.com;
