Replacing TL....but what with?

I plan on replacing my 05 TL soon. I don't want a newer TL because the 4G's are ugly in my opinon. I also don't want another newer 3G TL because I'v been there and done that. What car would you suggest that's comprable in reliability? I'm willing to spend about 35-40k but not more because I want to buy this car outright with no loan. What car would you replace it with?

Camaro has a very cheap interior.

G35/G37 is a good choice.

With that money I would really get the Genesis 2 Door Coupe. Something with that car that is just appealing. You get 10 year/100,000 warranty and it's pretty fast, plus it has a million aftermarket options. If you had a little more, or you may can find a used 08 M3 for that price.

Whatever you get, go used. CPO even.

A G37 wouldn't be a bad choice.

I would consider a g37s. It's a Nissan so it's going to last and it's also the best deal (330 hp, Brembos, and RWD). You can't go wrong.

There are a lot of variables that you need to narrow down for us. Do you want a coupe or a 4 door? Shit like that.

Personally I would go after a G37S, IS350, A4, or like someone else suggested, a used M5. There is one floating around here with ~45k miles for $40k or something along those lines.

If you're going brand new, go with a G37.
If you're going certified pre-owned, maybe a BMW 328?

3G TL is just as played out so maybe he wouldn't mind.

Another vote for 2011 Mustang GT

Most feel it's overpriced for a 200 HP car.

If you can go for a coupe the 2011 Mustang GT is worth a look. You can get a well equiped new car for the $$$ you want to spend.

There's nothing wrong with getting some recommendations from a few car enthusiasts.

Also, as someone else mentioned, what kind of car are you looking at? Sedan? Coupe?

You could probably get one with Navigation if you haggle like a mofo for under $41k. MSRP is like $43k.

Then what is the engine above the 2.0T in North America? Is it still the 3.2? But then again I rarely see the new A4, unlike in Europe where they are on every street corner. Tons of 3.0TDI it was tits.

No need for hostility. He was simply implying that you should go after what car you think suits your needs and wants best. Nobody here knows you so we can't really give you a good suggestion.
