How much should i spend on my car as a percentage of income?

How much should one spend on a vehicle (total purchase price) as a percentage of their yearly income?

I am not including recurring expenses such as insurance, gas, etc, just the purchase of the car (e.g. 28k for a TSX)

FYI i earn 80k/year. I have heard 50% of yearly salary is a good figure. Should i spend 40k on a car? or is that too much? Please advise
