He was thinking about getting rid of the CLK 55 because the new ones will be out soon.........and god forbid he has an "outdated car" I suggested a Viper or something like that, and he wasn't thrilled, but then we cam across the Aston Martin website....does anyone know anything about these cars........PRICING

I have four suggestions:
1. Wait for the new BMW M5.
2. A fully loaded Lexus LS430, which is one of the most comfortable sedans in the world.
3. A fully loaded Infiniti M45, I assume it will cost "only" $55,000.
4. Jaguar S-Type R.

You wont find a new SL500 anywhere near 80k. Try finding a RS6.....they are only importing something like 1200. What kind of car does he want??? If he wants a sedan....wait until the new A8 comes out.

Depends if he wants sporty or luxurious.
The RS6 will be the ultimate combination of both.
The new 7 is butt ugly IMO, I'd take the S500 over it any day.
Jaguar is a Ford now so screw the XK8.
LS430 is the ultimate in decadent luxury.
Some nice choices there and I wouldn't exclude the Q45 either.
Best choice of all would be a nice G35 coupe and give $45k to charity

What about a Z06??? People on here will say they arent good daily drivers, but they really are. Go test drive one, even if he doesnt like it they are fun to burn rubber in. I ripped the rear end loose shifting into 3rd, which I didnt expect to happen.

Another model you can look at is the Cadillac XLR. It has a 310 hp northstar engine with RWD and a 5 speed auto(same one as in BMWs). It shares a platform with the C6 Corvette, so it should handle very well. It is coming out pretty soon, not sure though
