Supposedly, this is true. However, I rarely see this being the case or being a problem. That would mean everyone who owns a new Z, the minimum income is around 60K gross. I doubt that.

I draw my limit at price of the car within 10% of annual gross income. That's just what I feel comfortable with. Then again, I just rent, and have no bills but utilities and food/gas, etc.
