    Which car do you like for $40-80k? [pics]

    I am officially shopping for a new car... There are a few photos below of cars i`m considering and my price range is $40k - $80k.

    I just want a car that is both comfortable and professional, for the wide variety of trips that I make all over california and for regular daily driving.

    I`ve owned a bunch of cars, including the first CTS, the Corvette c5, BMW m3, Tahoe, & GrandPrix GTP.

    I am considering the newer Cadillac CTS, newer m3, and possibly ordering the new c6 in May, but I may do this in addition to whatever I decide from this thread. There are a few others that i`ve not test driven yet, and some I have listed below.

    If anyone has suggestions plases post pics and information!

    Here are some pics, but I have to put them in two messages.

      The Corvette... unless you also the option to get a E-Class.

      Let me think... never mind... The Vette!

            Test drive them all, and then decide...

                The red one. The rest will make you look like a corporate slave... well, except for the hummer, which will make you look like a 'tard.

                    Honestly dude I would suggest the new Audi RS6, it's just a sick, sick car! 450 Hp fastest sedan in the world! Alternatively the new AMG is pretty sweet as well!

                          My personal choice would be a Nissan Skyline. Those cars fucking rock. Anyway, out of those cars, I'd choose a BMW or a Corvette.

                            I am a HUGE fan of BMW. So my opinion is biased.

                              Because, for some reason, I think a four door is better for what I need, even though its not the best looking to most people. But your car does look very good.

                              Lots of points for the m3. I was going to order it last year, but there was a 7 month wait, so I got the CTS. I really liked the one I drove at the dealer last year. [ a year old, I wanted it new ].

                                The BMW M3.

                                The quickest car (dunno about the Corvette), with style.

                                  Of all those?

                                  Definately the M3. Shitloads of performance and class, all in one package.

                                    You want a sweet ride that's 4 doors and you won't see alot of people rolling then go for an Audi A8 they start at about $70k and it's fucking sweet as can be.

                                      I can`t find the clk-430 on the mercedes website, assuming its off the market.

                                      Here is the clk 500

                                      Very cool.

                                        I think I saw something like this on the freeway once, always wondered what it was, now I know. That gets another half a vote from me. Tough to decide.

                                          I like the Skyline, but I'd like to drive around without being labeled as a rich ricer.

                                                  If I wanted an Audi I would want a Quatro TT.

                                                        I would go with the Audi.
                                                        Have you concidered a BMW?

                                                            Yeah, that new 6 litre should be pretty nifty. I am seriously considering it, in addition to some sort of a sedan.

                                                            If anyone wants a few pictures of that corvette you can download them here:

                                                            A friend sent me all of them, not a bad looking car, but like all others, it takes getting used to.

                                                              is more up my alley, though in true silver.

                                                                The Land Rover is cool - but totally defeats my purposes.

Plus, its got plenty of aftermarket support, and the market isnt saturated with em, so people wont just laugh and look the other way when you drive by. 280hp twin turbo's.

                                                                                                    Skyline will pull anything off the line because its got AWD...

                                                                                                    Besides, I've seen plenty of supra's around here. I'd take skyline over the supra for the simple fact that noone here has ever seen one. I'd also keep it stock on the exterior, because as far as im concerned, it looks as good is it ever will.
