tl

 

What he said..

 

So what do you expect for the redesigned 04 TL?!!!

4WD
300+ HP
SMG
less than 6sec to 60, 14s to the 1/4 mile


That would be what I am looking for next year.

 

Cheysler 300M.

 

I'm trying to talk my gf into getting the G35 when her lease is up in a couple months.... Not so much for her, but for me.

RWD, 260HP/Tq, if fit & finish is up to Infiniti standards it's going to do well in the entry level luxury-sport market.

 

RX-8

 

are you nuts???
TL is a Family Sedan... The Type-S might add some performance, but it is not a friggin' racing machine...

 

IS 300 L-tuned Supercahrged.........

G35 coupe

 

Mercedes CL500?

 

Audi S4

 

Pontiac Sunfire

 

One word, YUGO!

 

Actually, it's

 

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII OR Subaru Impreza WRX STi.

 

Superchargerd 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Overland Edition

 

lancer VII

MaCe

 

s4 or M3.......depending on my finances two years from now

 

I priced out all the cars I like. All fully loaded. I don't believe in buying a car without all the options - part of the reason I got the CL-S.

Clearly, comparing some of these cars to the CL is ridiculous. I priced them out anyway because I like them. It's weird, other people and publications compare the 330 to the CL - They are in totally different classes when loaded.

I've driven most of these cars, and if I had to pick from this list while factoring price, I guess I'd take the 300M. It's close in price to the CL, has tons of features, and it's fun to drive. I'm still waiting for the 350Z and RX-8. Those will be top contenders in my mind.

 

CLK 430..........

 

Are you asure that's right foer teh 300M? Fully loaded the 300m was more expensive than my CL without the Nav... Whats the price difference between the CL and TL-s?

 

Yeah, that was the MSRP for the 300M Special Edition with everything. The Honda numbers are low too because they aren't offering the aero kits online anymore - those usually added around $1,000.

The CL-S with nav, wood steering wheel, etc. was $34,100 - a little less than the TL with everything.

 

The best thing has got to be a Ford Focus, man I love em. Totaly joking of course, I had a Focus rental for a few days the other week and it had to be the shittyest piece of shit Ive ever been in. I think the whole car is made of plastic. I have alot of expensive favorites, but for around the same price the new altima is a hell of a deal for the performance and styling.

 

Ah ha... I see... I compared the Cl without the NAV with the 300M loaded. Since pretty much everything that is optional on the Chrysler, come standard on the CL-S. The 300M is a decent car though.. It sure isn't slow. I have a few friends that are looking for cars and we'll have to check out the Chrysler.

 

This one...

 

Yeah, what he said.........

 

He said next to CLS not ahead by 10 notches...LOL
