Next Car???

Okay, I have been a happy cls owner for about two and a half years. My lease runs out in October 2003. I am amiss about the next car to get - neon SRT, WRX STI, what? Help me out team!! By the way, the luxury feel is important to me, so maybe something fro Audi or BMW. Something tells me that the 6 speed CLS may be the car to get! Thanks :whatbish:

If the luxury feel is very important to you then how the hell can you list the SRT-4?!?

Go for the TSX with NAVI

calm down!

In my opinion he should try a new car with a different feel entirely! like a RWD luxury coupe, since he's already tried a FWD luxury coupe! my suggestion is a G35C

Personally I like the exterior and interior of the STi, but it isn't luxurious. You will hate the Neon...all that power and no lsd in front will get annoying to drive imo. The S4 and M3 are good choices. S4 is a better deal. The new V-8 S4 looks to be promising. The handling dynamics of the new chasis are very good. I'd stay away form the turbo S4, they aren't very reliable. They have issues with bypass valves, throttle body boots, turbos (because of oil return lines being too small by design. In general, the german cars aren't going to give you the reliablity of the japanese ones. So coming from a TLS you might be dissapointed. I agree the G35 might be a good comprimise of sport and luxury. Maybe it's too similar to the CLS for you if you are thinking about those other cars.

I was thinking S4 recently, but it will be $50 large and although i love the look and that big motor, 0-60 in all tests have been about 5.6 So, i just put the blower on, went with the Big Brake kit and i'm stayin with the CL-S It's a great car and it's gonna stay rare.

2004 S4 V-8 or S60R more likely... 04 TL is another Intro-lux Family Sedan... it would NOT be on the sport side..
