Lee of course is relative. You're situation of buying a high end luxury car is the complete opposite spectrum of this discussion though. People get excited getting it off college and don't really know what they can afford without living for 6 months like joey said. They end up paying 500, 600, $700 a month on a car payment only to realize they can't afford it. Unless you find a dealer with one of those recent grad low rate programs I can't imagine a fresh graduate is going to get such a low rate.
Already having 2 cars in the fleet I would do what joey said and wait. The miata can get you around just fine for a short commute. Have you figured out where you are living yet? Depending on that situation you might not even be able to park multiple cars. Saving money out of school is very hard to do but if you do it properly you will be so much better off. My wife and I were able to buy a townhouse one year out of school because we had strict budgets and saved a ton. Now in a couple years we are on track for a single family home. Yes I still drive my SI but it's paid off so I'm just banking that money. My fun street car and project will come later.
