Looking for a new car...
I'll be in the market looking for a new baby soon...still got the CL, it works fine and I'll be keeping it for a LONG time but what kinds of car would you get in addition (not looking for anything outrageously expensive...but maybe a step up from the CL?) Used to have a '98 GTI VR6 and really liked it but I kinda like the G35...anyways...
any ideas?
dont worry I already took a peek through the 'worst cars' thread.:P

Honestly.. your best bet is to probably do a search. There have been a bunch of threads lately asking, what's the best car under $25k, what's the best car between $20k and $27k, what's your beater car, what's your daily commuter, etc. All of those threads will probably have a TON of info.
BTW, my choices would be the Dodge SRT-4, Subaru WRX, Nissan Z, or Mini Cooper S

well if you have a CL and are keeping it then you already have a coupe.
Id look at like a WRX, or other 4 door, something a little more practical.

I'd consider it...

At our local BMW dealer ship.. I know it's crazy.. I didn't believe it until I saw it too.. I guess it had really low mileage with SMG..

Since you have a CL and still plan to keep it for long time, G35 might not be a very good choice because it is kinda close to the CL. I don't recommend any near-luxury vehicles since CL is one of them. Why not buy something very very different? How about Subaru Impreza WRX STi? or Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution?

I was looking at those online yesterday...I'd like to get one...but I didnt see the option to lease one? Guess I wouldnt want one that was used if somebody already revved the shit out of it. great suggestion though...gonna have to do a little more hunting around for one

I don't know about anyone else here but, I've never seen a car (besides exotic) that turns more heads modded or even stock.
Hey, its rumored that s2ks can hit clean U turns at 60mph on a 2 lane road.

No HIDs and Navi alone shouldn't stop you from considering this car. You already have em both on the CL.
