The G35 Coupe immediately comes to mind here.

Must haves:
- HIDs (hopefully installed so thieves cant snatch them in under 2 second )
- A true sport suspension....not merely a harsh ride passed off as sport suspension
- 25 city/ 30 hwy+ MPG
- 300hp/275lb-ft+ with a power:weight that takes advantage of this
- LED tail lamps

Boku, DSG = Direct Shift Gearbox.

On more thought, I also think that a hawt chick in the passenger seat needs to be standard too...So, add that to my list of must-haves for the next beater.

That is all for now, but this list is subject to change
4wd
Crazy powerful turbodiesel hopefully

Sounds like my next car will be German.

Needs:
1. Not FWD
2. 3 pedals
3. Leather
4. Over 200hp

Wants:
Moonroof
Navi
German

I figure that I could get everything I want in a BMW used for a decent price. I love my dads e36 328is in stick and I would love to get that, or probably something newer by the time i get something.

Well, since my 2005 S2k did not meet a lot of the requirements, l hope my next car will have the following and be < $40,000

Ventilated seats
Power folding side-view mirrors
Back-up camera/rear parking assist
Good trip computer
Everything else in a TL-Navi
