Tylers65,
I've driven the Maurauder, my accountant has one. It is a neat concept but still drives a lot like cop car with white gauges for a helluva lot more money than a crown vic should.
My girlfriend leased Caddy CTS and it is a nice chassis but gutless. Wait until they re-engine it.
Subaru. A lot of fun to test drive but damn I didn't want my friends to see me in it.
New BMW 3 series. God get over the new thing and get a used 8 series with the V12 for 35,000 and be done with it.
Infinity. Not much bad to say about it, but the styling is a little wierd, especially to be driving here in Detroit.
Lightning. OMG the fuel mileage. It actually has feet per gallon versus miles per gallon. Have you checked out insurance on those?
03' Cobra. Nice. Mean. Damn uncomfortable to sit in for more than five minutes and creaks and groans over every road irregularity. Insurance. Bend over big boy!
Mazda RX-8. I love driving my girl's special edition Miata. Hot young girls stare at me at every light, man do chicks love the "cute" little Miata. Guys ask me what-the-f am I driving.
Solution?
The RX-8. It has fantastic fit and finish and looks mean at most angles. You will have to get used to the rotary engine noise and general lack of low end grunt, but shifting at 7,000 was f'in FUN!!!! Autoweek mag also fell in love with the car. They had almost zero bad to say about it. So if you can get over the looks and want to pick up a boat load of girls with g-strings showing over thier jeans, get the RX-8.
If I ever get tired of my Lexus 400 for the commute thing, I'm gonna get one.
