Post Time for a new car.....

I'm not going to spend anymore money on my '99TL. I will be done with the payments next year.
I'm thinking about getting a new car......
I will never buy a BMW car(personal reasons).
I don't like any of the Lexus and toyota cars.
Meceredes..., in 10 years...
Not a big fan of honda cars...
Audi are nice..maybe
2002 or 2003 TL-s sounds very very tempting...
any other good cars out there....?
I can't decide what car to get next....
help plz....anyone?

Try the Volvo S60, it's really comfortalbe, and damn it's fast.

I personally don't like the IS300, too. I rather get a BMW. But then again, you don't want bimmer.

The Mercedes is okay, but not the C-class. Feels cheap!!!

Oh... and of course the MDX... OMG I WANT ONE SO BAD... I live in Canada and we got lots of snow here. I would love to have a MDX as my winter car, and have a S2000 or such kind for the summber...

...and we all live in suspense wondering what the "personal reasons" are that prevent you from getting a fine BMW...

I have personally always liked Audis so I would suggest you look at the S4 or the A6 2.7 T. I test drove an A4 with the sport package and the manual transmission before I got my TL, they are really nice.

hmmm....
no one supporting the 2002 TL-s?
Is the TL-s going to look a lot different than the current TL models?
volvo s60 are nice....but only 6.6 sec.
I'm guessing that the 2002 TL-s are going to be faster.
Just saw a jaguar XK today in downtown...wow...i'm speechless...
Is it just me, or did i see a skyline at northgate few weeks ago?(for seattle TL owners)
So many pretty pretty car, but i'm a poor college student.....

I personally would not get another mb c-class(very cheaply made car) i had the c280 sport, man does it feel like a hyundai with mb emblems. I had it only for a week and told the dealer i wanted out. That's b/c I found the TL and before the mb and tl I had another acura the "Legend". Loved the legend. get then new Hyundai it's got everything except navi and 10g's less then the TL. haha.

Why not wait till TL-S comes out before you decide ? Meanwhile you can afford to take your time & shop around. IMHO, the BMW 330i looks pretty good.

I'd enjoy the period w/o payments after you payoff and then consider a new car. heck who needs payemnts all the time. if mine were finished so soon, i'd spend the cash on a vacation...but since we are talking cars, I say wait to check out the TL-S, or just test the BMW 330. As much as a b*tch about bimmers, its a pretty sweet car.
