What next???

 

Ummmm...Pagani Zonda...?




And oh, :ibtmovetocartalk:...

 

Toyota Avalon. It's actually required by law at 55.

 

Well since you like Coupe's a test drive in a BMW 645Ci, 650 will make you buy one.

 

how do have to spend? not to offend but it give us a better idea.

 

bmw 5.50?

 

personally i like the m5 series

 

8-10mpg as some owners have beeen complaining about kills it for daily driving. Then again you can't help be hard on the gas in that car :race:

 

^^^ the bmw website doesn't even list the mpg for the car, it says TBD

I think that's funny considering they are already on the road.

 

very true but he asked what, i gave my honest opinion, if i had the funds i would buy one, and if i could afford the gas/maintenance.

 

Infiniti M45

 

55?

Es330

 

Bite me!
ES330's are fun at Lexus drive events to see how long it takes to get the cord showing on the front tires.

 

Acura RL, Lexus GS300/GS430 price range. German cars, probably not. The smart side of the brain keeps yelling NO! NO! NO!

 

...so, I say again... Infiniti M45

 

i don't see were you could wrong with a Acura RL, or the Lexus GS 430. i like both.
we thought about a gs 300 instead of the tl-s.
g-35 6 spd?

 

Lexus GS300

 

You dont seem to keep cars that long, so why not a german car.

530i or 3.2 A6

 

VW Beetle, 285,000 miles
Olds Cutlass, 107,000 miles
Integra, 138,000 miles
MR-2, 186,000 miles
CL-S, 75,000 miles and counting.
Just a driving fool.

 

M45 for sure.

 

Last car u had was Lexus so - GS, IS, LX,LS or Infiniti - M45, FX45, G35 Sedan/coupe

If I were you, i'd go for an LS430. Awesome car, my parents drive one. Excellent build quality and it holds good value.

 

Some ideas:

1989 Cadillac Brougham
2006 Suzuki Verona

... sorry, it's hard to keep up with the quality of cars on your list.

 

I suppose it breaks your specified budget and German car phobia but you need to own a 911 before your car list ends. The 997 is the sublime example of the "ass engined Nazi slot car". In reality Porsches are fairly reliable and if you are a driving fool, to quote some folks that know what they are talking about regarding the 911 "If you can you must".

If you can't fathom a German car and want the "softer" approach the RL is a bloody bargain right now, they can't get them off the lots and are "giving" them away. The M is a better choice but isn't as good of a bargain since it is relatively hot. The GS isn't a drivers car.

If you don't need the room and want to keep the budget and add a real drivers car to the list get down to your local Bavarian car pusher and order up a 06 M3 CS, while not a 997 it will add some spice to the list and I promise you will wake up in the morning thinking about driving.

 

Listen to the smart side of the brain. It'll keep you from ending up in an ass-engined Nazi slot car!

 

get a buick, old man

 

 

I love the 300C but I'd say go with the RL. I love 'em.

 

that's no ordinary 300C.

 

Sheesh!

RL is a forbidden name here.

 

Ariel Atom?

 

I vote TL 6 speed

 

Next gen Lexus LS...

 

Not with the new one around the corner. The GS is nice... I'd wait for the ~380hp GS460 if I were you. If you don't need mental acceleration, the GS350 should do, with ~300hp.

Don't go 7-series/S-class/LS if you intend on having a pulse much longer.

 

I didn't realize that the SRT-8 You're right... that certainly isn't an ordinary 300C.
