Look at the lower range, where entry level attorneys start: $55K vs. $61K. That's not a BMW. A lot of people aren't driving BMWs at the higher range of prosecutor salaries, either. Public interest law of any kind is not where you go if you want to maximize your paycheck.
It's far more likely that an attorney driving a fancy car is at a private firm. That's where the money is.

Still insane that prosecuting attorneys make significantly more than public defenders.
Oh yeah, the scales should be tilted in the other direction at minimum.
