looking for something new

well, as you guys can see, my TL is getting a lot of miles and im in the market for something new. i spent the weekend in Pismo Beach and everytime im there, seeing all the trucks and quads make me wish i still had mine. im liking the newer Tacoma Crew Cab Sport but the gas mileage is horrible for a midsize truck. i might as well get a full size like a newer F150 or a GM D-max..im sure im gunna get flamed for wanting a truck lol, but i miss having one. i DO want another acura, and im looking for a 3G TL or TSX..thats if i want to stay with a car. what do you guys think? help me make up my mind lol

Get a brand new GTI or MS3.

If you are not going to haul any shits, just stay away from them.

The reliability issue shouldn't be a deal breaker any more for VW. It has improved ALOT.

No one can make up your mind for you. If you want a truck, then purchase one. You say your budget is $25 000. Wait until mid-late summer and purchase a new one. You think they're discounted now? I suspect in the fall they'll be practically giving those things away.

The newer GS430s are very expensive even used. IIRC, one of my co-workers bought the fully loaded GS350 with low mileage for around 32k or something.
