Need a New Car soon

Just curious what people thought of these three vehicles. I know they are totally drastic but I'm not sure what kinda vehicle I want yet, so I chose my favorite from pretty much the three most different categories.

Cadillac Deville DHS Black on Black
Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Black on Black
Z350 Conv't Sunset Gold.

I still have till April '04 to make up my mind but i'm pretty sure after doing much research it will be one of these.
Maybe if I can afford a 2001 S430 I think I might be able to get one for around ($40k, hopefully)


Thanks

Also any advatages you guys see to a 4 dr sedan, an SUV and a small conv't
I have so far had a sedan, SUV and the Ac' Coupe. Not sure I kinda like them all but hate them all. Ultimate would to be have one of each of course. Ha.

Haven't seen you online in a while.

I think the Deville DHS is pretty wack considering the 05 STSs' release and the fact that a lot of used DHSs' are rental cars...

Jeep Grand Cherokees I like a lot, don't know much about the details of the car though, they just look tough and cool.

The 350Z convertible is probably what I would get, although not in that color, probably an anthracite/dark gray, or black.

Oh and this car will have to last about 4 years I'm guessing, which means After college and living in NY. Which is why the Jeep might be the best choice.

The conv't would be so pimp, but not practical for back in NY. An awesome Arizona car for sure though.

Oh yeah, I been so fucking busy with work and school, I'm in town for 2-3 days a week and then a different city on the weekends for work. Pain in the ass, lot of travelling.
Good to see you guys again though.

Yeah I was thinking maybe the A4 conv't would be a great choice. Awesome car, and convers both the conv't and the 4 wheel drive thing. Great for both States. Good call.

Just get a 2001 S-class. It's the only one you'd be happy with over a long term...or that that lame Jeep you're so obsessed with

convertible 350z is really inpractical for NY. An SUV is the best choice, but jeep would not be my first choice. Escalades are pimp, but I would rather have a FX35 or 45. you get a suv with sports car's feel.
