Any interesting new cars coming out?

[LSHatch]

I'm semi in the market and want to know what is out there or may be coming out soon.

Things I don't want:
EVO
Sti
SRT

I love those cars, but I'm planning on stepping it up a little bit. Things that are more mature and less "boy racer."

I've looked at M3 competition, S4(fat pigs), and the new Vette so far. I want something that is light and nimble. Glanced at the Elise, but that is less practical then my car.

Anyone who has any ideas, feel free to throw them out there.

[SilverBulletRL]

New vettes are nice :thumbup:

Here's my next one like I said in a previous thread...

I'd Wait for the Red Line version though... Turbo 2.0L. Same engine going into the pontiac solstice GXP

RX8??

RX8??


Hahahahhahahahahaha. Hahahahahahahahaahahaaaaaa. Come on Justin. :finga:

I want something at least near my car.

[LSHatch]

Don't really want a Saturn or something like that. I want to uprgrade the car entirely. Not just getting a new car.

That Redline should be sweet and move good too, though.

[TROLL]

Acura TL? Dont know if you want luxury sportscar or pure sportscar, but they are very nice. If you just want a raw sportscar, the vette is a really nice choice, and I absolutely love M3s.

After RWD, I can't switch.

The TL is a sweet cruiser, but definitely not what I can see myself driving everyday.

I'm going to have to check out some cars. I've always loved Vettes, and the C6 gives me a boner. But, the M3 Comp. is sexy too. I'm not a big German car fan, but I can do.

[max2k1]

M3 for pure sex appeal :banana:

[Crzyguy972]

[LSHatch]

My brother actually has an Altima SE-R. Nice car, but way too big for me.

My real restrictions:
RWD
2 Door
At least in the 13's.
Handles well
Classy

Very nice looking car, but not really "me."

[sisforsurfing]

350Z's/G35 Coupe's are classy, sporty cars but don't fit the "at least 13's" criteria. Plus, the same market as your S2000.

If you're looking at C6's, you could probably look at Boxsters, but I'd prefer a C6. Porsche has the Cayman coming out, but that'll be a little pricey. Beautiful car if you have the cash though.

The vette or M3 own everything that fits that criteria performance and sex-appeal wise, but I don't know if I could choose between the two.

I've driven a 6MT G35. I really liked the motor and feel of it. But, it feels too heavy to me.

I sat in a Boxster while I was in Vegas. It was a new S, very sweet. But, the gas bedal and brake are too spaced for any kind of decent heel-toe downshifts. I also didn't like how the gas pedal was setup.

That's kind of how I'm stuck I feel. Vette or M3. I could look at something used, but I really want it to be brand new so I can truly call it "my" car.

[Aaron]

Sounds like you want an SL55. Hardtop, convertible, fast, and luxurious. Unfortunately, I don't think theres a poor-mans version of that.

Since money is an issue, dare a say the new GTO? Its not as much of the "boy racer", Nice powerplant, RWD, etc. I know, "but it handles like a..."

I could do with the fat pigness of the SL55. :prayer:

I've thought about the GTO. I'm not very fond of the looks of it though. Too much like your average Grand Prix on steroids. And like you said, they aren't great handling cars. Something which is very important to me.

[LSHatch]

Another car that has a special place in my heart is the CTS-V. It breaks all my rules, but it's so sexy.

What about a Volvo S60R? 300Hp I dunno if its AWD or RWD though....classy 4door but mostlikely pretty quick....

They are AWD. Two of my neighbors have them. They are very nice looking, but still big.

[nickmahhh]

umm...what about a 1988 reliant K station wagon? they are a hot seller :thumbup: sorry, im bored.

[WhiteXFire]

Dare I say SRT-6?? :P
Although, I'd get a new vette any day over it.

I thought you meant no SRT-4's in your first post. It's RWD, 2 seat/2 door like the s2000, low 13's, handles amazingly, and is very classy. :thumbup:

Yes, I know...Mercedes has a liking for automatics. Well, that can be your first mod!

you can buy a decent used nsx for cheap

how about a used viper ;)

[LSHatch]

I know I can get a used one for a good deal, but I don't want to buy a used car. I want to go to the dealer and get a car that still has the paper on the floor mats.

[joe tom]

perhaps a lexus sc430? hardtop convert, v8, rwd, low-mid 14's.

Man, talk about a fat pig of a car. :thumbdow:

There is a nice one around that has some deep dish wheels and exhaust though. Looks good, but definitely not a driving car.

Too small of a car. My mom has the older SLK. I hate how it handles. They understeer like it's their job. I'm not a fan of that. And at that point, I'd want the AMG, and they only come in auto.

[Aaron]

C5 Z06. Given the price and capability requirements there is no other choice. Better get something for the winter though because you're gonna be up the creek without a paddle come December.

Well, my daily now is the S. They don't go anywhere in the snow either.

I've thought about the Z06, problem still comes to that I want to buy a "0" mile car. I want to be the first owner.

But, exceptions can be made. The new C6 goes mid 12's correct?

[LSHatch]

I've come down to three main choices.

1. C6 Vette/ C5 Z06
2. M3 Competition
3. Build up my car from the ground up. High compression NA motor. Set up for road racing. Then just buy a cheap beater car....

I hate this.

did you see earl's (now famous) s2000 build?

That is a bunch of BS. Earl even doesn't claim the power.

That guy is a former S2ki member who ripped off tons of the members and has a class action suit against him.

He also claims to have an inlinepro stroker motor, Inline's response, "No."

[WhiteXFire]

My vote goes for the new vette hands down.

[wrx_snobordr]

i dont know if anyone said it but the s4 is a great car. I know its not a two door or rear wheel but it still has alot of balls, looks great and will run you about 50k well equipped.

[Chair-Force]

They are AWD. Two of my neighbors have them. They are very nice looking, but still big.

A SGT in my unit bought a S60R brand new. Two weeks later the engine seized halfway to Harrisburg from Philly. Needless to say he sold it back to the dealership for a full refund. They are nice looking for a Volvo but still looks like a soccer mom car. He is picking up a M45 Sport to replace it.
Im going to sell the rex when I get back from Italy, the tranny problems are too much for me. Im thinking about either a G35 Coupe or STI.

[ixijgaspixi]

yoo man i got an 05 mustang if u lookin for a sporty car its fast as hell and its not ass ugly like they have been for the past 20 years

if you're looking for a new car, i would wait until MY07 - you'll have ALOT of choices by then and it's only a year away.

[PhillyGsx]

yo, go to acura davis RIGHT NOW , im not askin, im telling you too.



why you might ask?


1999 Acura NSX red with black leather, some kind of black aftermarket wheels, and guess this, 4,483 miles on it. i saw it today in person when i went in for a job app. i thought it was brand new, coulda fouled me if it wasnt for there new headlights, which = teh sexiest front end ever, that is of course besides angelina jolie.

seriously tho. it was a 5/6 speed, w/e they are, im guessin 6. but yea, the thing looked BRAND NEW, it was insane, check it out. as for the price, i dunno , it wasnt on the print up sheet.

[9 Ball]

I would have to go with the M3 or Corvette. I’m thinking of an M3 for my next car also.

I haven’t seen the Corvette up close yet, but it looks hot.

Those are definitely your pics… M3 or Corvette.

[G1GSX]

iv been hearing bad things about the newer m3 motors and as for the vettes as the old saying go's real men don't wear bow ties :mrgreen: id wait till the new line up comes out next year it has to be better then whats out now

New miata can't go wrong.... How about a used boxter... Like what do u want here... Ps new m3's are greta but far from a raw driving expierence

[LSHatch]

I love Miatas for their track potential, but in no way would I ever daily drive one.

Like I said earlier, I'm not a fan of the Boxster. Especially for how much it is and the lack of performance it gives you. The pedals are also very oddly set up making it hard to drive hard.

I know the M3 doesn't give the raw, direct feeling my car does on windy roads or anything like that. I just like the Competition one for some reason. Not sure why, just do.

I might build up my car a little and just wait and see what comes out in a year or so.

Yeah keep ur car a get a spec miata bad a$$$$$$

[H8 2LUZ]

a new vette would be amazing or a new M3.

The problem is buying new you are going to take a tremdous hit buying it new. If you are like me and get sick of car in 6 months buy used.

Find an 06 vette or m3 with about 3k on it and pay about 5 to 10 grand less.

With the m3 you have to pay gas guzzler and luxury tax when it is new. Its a waste of money. Plus a payment on that bad boy is about the same as a house payment.

Also another idea is a used Z06... you can find them with like 5k on them for the low 30's. Or a used viper would be out of this world.

Good thing about buying any of thses cars used is that OLD timers owned them and they take such great care of them, they might as well be new.

But HELL a brand new car kicks ass too. Having you placed your ass first on the seat feels great too!

And dont go for a used Porsche. Used Porsches = Money Pit.

CTS-V8????

I think they can be had through the employee discount too, but I may be wrong.

[WRX27]

CTS-V - If i had the $ i would go right to the dealer these cars are sweet! But realistically i have thought about new car but i am waiting as others have mentioned. So much coming out - Porsche Cayman, and Something with p (sedan); New STI and EVO (i know you said no to these but wait and see what comes out); Civic SI; Maybe Skyline? I heard 09 now but who knows? STS-V SRX-V lol Um so many new cars coming out in the next few years. Oh yeah and i test-drove new TL last night. They are pretty sweet! I loved the nav and guauges, interior - It was a smooth ride with pretty good power.
