If your car was totalled, what would you get?

Would most people go for a G35c or would they stick with Acura? Personally, for myself, I think if my CLS was totalled, I'm just gonna spend <$25K and get myself a 4-door sedan like an Accord or Camry or something like that....boring, huh? If my car was totalled, I have bad luck since it would be the 2nd one and my next one will be something that's cheap.

TSX, I like those things. If it would have come out a year earlier I would be driving one now instead of the CL.

I'd prolly get a Z. I'd want a G35 coupe but couldn't afford it the way I'd want it.

I just can't graduate to something like a Z06 at 26 years old. By the time I'm 35, I'm have to be driving Ferarris' or something. And I'll have to win the Powerball to make the happen. :P

I'd also get a Neon SRT4. A bit small, no luxury, not the same class as a CLS, but FAST, & cheap to boot, I'd wait for the 04 though since it will have a power increase to 240hp

I say SCREW the Z and SCREW the G.

If my car were totaled tomorrow I would probably spend about 2-Grand on a nice beater to drive through the winter.

Next spring I would be first in line for a 645CI.

since I'm getting married and hopefully buying a condo in a the next year I would probably have to buy a used accord in the meantime.

otherwise I would consider the G35c or a leftover S4 or used 2002/3 M3....although I tend to be more of a sedan guy the M3 and G35c are too sweet not to consider!

Yeah, the G35C would be up there too, as I think it looks much better than the Z. The only downside in my mind is the weight..

Either a G35c/6, a 350z Enthusiast, a Lancer Evo, or an off-lease M3. One of those 4, but if I had to pick one... probably the Evo.

First, the CL is my sister's. If it is totalled and insurance pays her enough money, then I am pretty sure she would get a TSX. For me, I probably would go for something cheaper, a V6 Accord sedan? Or probably a WRX? The most I would go for is a automatic transimission RX-8.

If my stocks recover - a G35C, if they are still in the dolldrums - an Accord EXV6 coupe. But I don't want my car totalled now....
