If your car was stolen, what would u replace it with?

I'm not too familiar with how much money my insurance company would give me (someone can answer this question), but if they gave me around $26,500 (i may be wrong, so feel free to correct me with a realistic figure), i'd pick myself up an '03 6MT Anthracite w/ Navi. Now this wish might also be a bit too far-fetched considering I can only afford to pay my $496.83 finance payment.

Considering your own financial situation, what would you do with what the insurance company gives you? I cant even think of another car that would size up against the CLS in both performance and value, so help me out.

Not buy another one is not an option, but that's what I would do. I'd use my Truck.

I think I'd probably get a 350z at the moment. But I'd drive around in my jeep until the roadster version was available.

Hard question to ask...

Especially with Dodge comming out with a new hemi charger...

At the moment I'm going to keep my CLS for another 1-2 years. Then get rid of her. I figure I will have a better grasp on the market then. Especially since all of the HP wars have just really started.

G35 Coupe....

But what makes you think your insurance company will pay you anything when there's a lienholder on the vehicle.

I would also go w/ the G35 coupe - but I have started to hear some bad things about Infinity--so maybe I would go w/ a WRX, or 6-sp Maixima or 6-sp CL-S

Um, I don't think they'd give you that much on a 2002. As soon as you drive it off the lot it depreciates big time.

Maybe $20,000, according to KBB.

Actually the immbolize isn't as invincible as you would think. Direction on how to disable was posted on Acura-TL.com by someone and from what I heard...it was rather easy if you know what your doing.

Either a 2 yr old GS400 or 540. Getting too much flack about the 2 missing doors, plus as they said in the old juice commercial:
"Gee, I'd rather have a V8".

I'd consider the new Z, or Infiniti G35 coupe when it's out. I drove the new G35. Not as good a value as the CL. Options bring the price up ....out of my range.

None of the above (cars), I'd get a Tundra.

How much you'd get from insurance depends on the price of an equivalent used vehicle in your area. A 2001 CLS lists for 21-24 around here.

Reality: 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback, preferrably from the SW part of the country to limit the Cancer on the body and frame.

I have other modes of transportation, so I wouldn't sweat it. Be nice to have a new 6 speed, but I know what my next car would be, that 7th Mustang!
