Damnnn. a GTR would be incredibly nice..

How much do those run for? like 80 right (assuming you can get one at MSRP)?

I sold my Audi A7 when I moved from NJ back to NY. Now I ride the silver limo (8 cars a lot of people, but it gets me where I need to be). I don't really need a car in NY anyway. And if I did, Zipcar (plug) is my friend.

WhoFlungPoo · Nov 6, 2008

GTR's are easily going for 110k right now

cred05 · Nov 6, 2008

GTR=not as fast as claimed, transmissions break, warranty voids if you look at it wrong.

Agreed, but if we're dreaming then warranty doesn't matter to me - LOL

Ok, I need some help. I'm looking at getting a new car. I'm really looking at an 09 Pontiac G5.

I'm 26 with a family, so a complete sports car isn't an option and mileage matters as I drive 80-100 miles per day M-F.

I've also looked at the Ford Fusion and Pontiac G6.

I'm already ruling out the Focus (that's what I have now) and the Chevy Cobalt.

Please provide reviews of the G5. Fusion reviews are welcome, too. Not websites (I can Google). I'm looking for personal or close friend/family experience.

To the OP

From what I see in the Audi forums, CPO and new RS4s are going for good prices these days, with excellent financing terms. I'm driving a 2006 B7 Audi RS4 and love that car to bits, and that's not easy considering that my previous daily driver was a modified Evo VIII MR RS built for track days, and I had an S2000 and a Porsche Boxster before that.

I think your choices depend on a number of variables:

1. what is your budget?
2. fuel economy or performance?
3. seating space - 2 seater, 5 seater, or 7-seater?
4. pre-owned or brand new?
5. Domestic, Japanese, or Continental? Are there known dealers who offer good workmanship, prices and support in your area?

cred05 · Nov 7, 2008

I was thinking about getting the B8 S4 when it comes out...but the B7 RS4 is looking pretty good.

GasBot · Nov 7, 2008

I have a 2005 Chevy Equinox AWD and a 2008 Corvette Convertible.

I'd like to replace the Equinox with an Audi S5.

Drive: 97 m3/4 technoviolet (parked 10 months out of the year) & 08 accord 4 door (daily driver)

Want: 08 m3

Need: an awesome single speed bike with some hed 3 carbon wheels.

The accord has tamed me a bit and love the relative comfort it affords me compared to the stiff suspension the m. I want a bike not only for the gas saving opportunity it can bring, but to avoid traffic in general.

p.s my first post

If mileage matters, I suggest getting either a corolla or civic. these run along the same price as the cars mentioned above (give a couple more thousand) and have much higher mpg rating. also, japanese cars TEND to last longer than american cars...USUALLY, not always... but it's always a safe bet..

Well my car dangerously resembles that red truck in sanford and son however mine is blue. My dream vehicle would be anything that doesn't run hot after 20 minutes. It's cool i know god is gonna bless me with a whip as hard as i work one of these days! :d
