Backlash Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 ^ The U.S. market Delorean actually had only 130 hp from a SOHC Peugeot-Renault-Volvo 2.8 liter V-6 due to emissions limitations. Euro-spec Deloreans made 170 hp from the same engine. I probably would have splurged for an Audi S4 Avant if no LGT wagon were available in 04-05. Now, I'd get an 09 WRX 5-door. i wonder if the thing i saw was not US market documentary. http://www.delorean.com/newbuild.asp oh baby!!!!!!1! 197hp option http://www.delorean.com/vin_10866/large/DSC05821.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vr4Legacy Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 would probably still have my '05 2.5RS..... But if I were to upgrade.... an entry level 6 spd CTS would def be an option.....(for the price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS5689 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 STi, G35X, CTS4, One year used Audi S4, Toyota Tundra, Nissan Titan (now that I live in Maine for college, I strongly considerded doing as the Mainers do and buying a ncie truck. The Tundra with the iForce V8 and 420HP is really a fun machine. With a few mods they really haul. I just couldn't see myself being happy when summer rolled around and I was back home. I would miss hitting the Auto-X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhig Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Acura TSX. I just kind of stumbled on the Legacy GT and effin' loved it. I got one with half the mileage of a similar priced Acura. I just hope it lasts as long as an Acura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnJack Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Subaru - Outback 2.5XT Non-Subaru - Mazda 6s or Toyota Tacoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex--TheGreek Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Actually if it wasn't for the Legacy i wouldn't be in a hurry to change my old car But most probably,from Subaru, i would have chosen a JDM Forester Turbo, and from other brands either a Seat Leon Cupra, or a JDM Honda Accord Euro-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouar Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 BMW E46 325xi. I really only considered the Legacy because it reminds me so much of that car inside, it is brand new, and my family has had good luck with Subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYtoVT Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 if not a Subaru (WRX wagon) probably a turbo Saab or turbo Audi wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007GT Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'd just keep driving my 2000 S/C Mustang GT and resign myself to eating STI's on days when there is no snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 sti, but probably a 335xi coupe Me too. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 In order: Forester WRX Lexus IS250 AWD BMW 3##xi I passed on the IS250 because the seats wouldn't fold down and maintenance for the BMW would've been too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Order of choice: 1. Impreza Wagon (At least 2.0 liter NA, maybe WRX). (Assuming Subaru was still around) 2. LandRover Freelander. 3. A VW Golf with 4-motion. 4. Volvo V50 T5 AWD (Not that I like the 5-cylinder engine, but i want AWD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeleodee Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Great question. Really made me think. I got the Legacy b/c I am a family man that needs a good family car who would NEVER succumb to the minivan craze. I also like fast, upgradeable cars. AWD helps in the snowy winters as well so Legacy fit the bill. If I wanted to afford a ridiculous car payment and worse gas mileage, I'd definitely go with the new Pontiac G8 GXP. Those are bada$$. Within the same budget I'm working with now, no doubt a used Mazdaspeed 6. I believe it edged out the '06 Spec B in an Edmunds comparison test (don't know if that's saying anything, though). Please don't crucify me. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfin9 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If Subaru, a WRX wagon, not the new style. Other car, BMW 335xi Coupe. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It would suck. I'd probably look at Mazda 6 wagon w/stick (available at the time), although it would still suck. Today I'd consider 535xi wagon w/6mt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
