what is your next car?

Just want some opinions. What would your next car/coupe be now that the CL is discontinued?


1. BMW M3
2. Infiniti G35C
3. Mercedes CLK
4. Chrysler Crossfire
5. Nissan 350Z
6. Any other car/coupe you can think of...?

For people who liked the CL, the new Pontiac GTO would be a nice replacement (although you can't get Nav or heated seats). The GTO is conservative looking yet nice looking, handling is ok, power is awesome. You can get an auto or 6spd, fits 4 people no problem and its in the same price range as the CL was....little more.

Not to mention, the GTO will be mod central.

I was also thinking of a classic chevy muscle car from back in the day. All that hp under the hood and torque tearing up the road.

Since I will be paying my car off for another 3 1/2 years, I will keep my CL-S for that long plus some!! after that, I would like an older NSX, unless things change then I would like an MDX!! As of now!!

Actually, I’m gonna be buying my 7-YR extended warranty in a few days so I’ll be protected from major repairs until March of 2009.
So I don’t plan to go car shopping for a long time unless something REALLY impressive comes out sooner.

I plan on keeping the CLS for an extremly long time but within a year I will be in the market for an 89-91 CRX to replace my sentra. I had an 87 and I kick my self evertime I realize that I got rid of it. The 88-91 have so many mods available and their inexpensive.

I'm not sure. I'll most likely also be getting a bike sometime very soon. Maybe something simple like an R6 to tool around on.

So I will be keeping the CL I suppose.

In less than 2 years I will buy a new car. Most likely an EVO, or an //M3.

I'm hoping to scoop up a Z this year as a second car. It's a pipe dream, but still, that's what I want

6) Turbo Legacy

been waiting for this even before i bought my NA legacy back in 99.

however, if strong rumors persist about a STI legacy coming stateside in the near future, i might be willing to sit patiently for a little while.

Either: New 2004.5 Volvo S40 T.....2004 Saab 9-2.....Used 2001-2002 Audi A6(2.7T).....

OR...IF I can find one at AUCTION ONLY...a used 2002 M45...But that's a BIG IF...they're pretty rare.

I love the IS300, but NO POWER. I love the Saab Arc, but too much $$ for what you get. I love, love, love the G35 Coupe, but too small...

I just like cars...that's the biggest problem.
