Maintance cost for the ceramics are much less over time than steel.



I had to address this in another post...I don't think this is true, even for long ownership periods, but if it is, you would have to log several hundred thousand miles to reach the break-even point. No, sorry, that doesn't fly, not with the $16000 cost of the option, and the parts being 10 to 20 times as expensive. The only thing ceramics have going for them is looks and brake feel (assuming a pad change to more aggressive pads on the irons brakes).

"Maintance cost". Not overall cost.

100% true for the turbo PCCB system vs. steel, haven't done the calculations on the CCM's yet.
