ohiotrojan Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 well since it has to be a stick for us, limited options, prolly come down to 335 or s4, though both are overpriced for what you get...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppettit2005 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The last GTO didn't look anything like the old GTO 2006: http://www.carforums.net/reviews/makes/pictures/pontiac03.jpg 1967: http://www.americandreamcars.com/1967gto040606.jpg yeah, they would have done better if they had marketed it as the firebird or new transam... putting the GTO emblem on that car was a sales disaster, but it was still a nice car even though it had electric sliding front seats... but who needed the backseat in that car anyway? It was a mean performance machine straight out of the box, and that's why the few people that do like them love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 GTOs are good cars performance wise, i just didnt like the style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 yeah, no one really did unless you equate performance with style... I was about 30min away from buying a 05 GTO all black 6 speed. Until i took it for a 2nd test drive without the salesman and noticed it was grinding into 3rd when slamming gears. Then I saw the legacy a couple days later remembered I was having a kid and was sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fzanetti Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm not going to buy any more new cars -- only used from now on. My next ride will be a Mercedes S600, to go with the LGT instead of replacing it. Nice examples are available for under $30k. With just a tune it's an easy way to get a 5 passenger sedan that runs 11s. Of course I'd prefer the S65 version but it costs double and I just can't justify that -- much less pay for it!! And be ready to $$$$$ in repairs... I have had a 12 cylinder BMW 95 750iL and OMG.... Those cars have AWFUL maintenance bills pal... be ready!!!

Drew888 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 On to page three and the only realistic option I have seen thrown out there is the G8. 4 dr, cheap, great performance, very reliable, looks great (AWD aside of course). Mod it and put the Holden front end on...OMG, you'd have to be nuts to consider anything else.

skratch16 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Just went through this exercise myself and ended up with a G8 GT. I've got some minor quibbles with it, but they seem to go away as the accelerator gets closer to the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdisco Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nothing piques my interest. 4 Door Sedan, AWD maybe... Caddy CTS - Nice but $$$ / the V is verrry nice, but verrry $$$$$ Ford SHO - twin turbo V6 sounds good, but looks kind of a plumper Mercedes C - didn't WOW me, maybe AMG would, but so would $$$$$ Audi S4 - $55,500. ouch! VW Jetta TDi - >$30k loaded, 40mpg, but FWD - FTL so guess I'll keep the Legacy less then 50k miles and it's paid for, still fun when the turbo spools up, maybe get a set of bilsteins & tighten her up.

Penguin Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 VW Jetta TDi - >$30k loaded, 40mpg, but FWD - FTL BMW 335d. Close to 40MPG in owners hands, plenty of power. RWD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 G37X. 2009 SpecB. Acura RDX. Possibly Forester XT. Or a Benz C350 / C63 if I temporarly lose my mind and common sense. Damn the terrible gas mileage and ridiculous insurance premiums!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Forgot about the G37S. I'd hit that if I was going suspension/tires+wheels only and din't need the rear seats (you're not really putting someone back there?). I saw one on the fwy. lowered w/rims and it looked mean as hell. Very nice interior this time around. If I craved more luxury and decided to slow down a bit more.....

I want the sedan. Coupes are a bitch to put kids in car seats in to. And more luxury without a high strung turbo making speed sounds exactly what I want in a next car. In all seriousness, I'll probably pick up a last Gen M45 Infiniti (Y34 style). The boxy ugly sleeper sedan than I see on the road once every 2 years. I have a perverse fondness for that rig. Mmmmm.

Viber Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Personally, I am leaning toward the VW Golf-R, 5 door for my next car; 2.0 turbo, AWD, DSG tranny, 270HP/236LBS, great gas mileage. Oh and HIDS... I also like the interior and exterior, which is a shocking concept at subaru Golf R drops summer of 2010, and I will probably get one in 2011. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/Sq5xJnusXgI/AAAAAAACCFs/YTJKfXhntYo/s1600/VW-Golf-R-15.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/Sq5w0FCbifI/AAAAAAACCEc/-FPLqBRGuV8/s1600/VW-Golf-R-5.jpg http://www.easycarblog.com/wp-content/gallery/08_october_2009-singles/2010_volkswagen_golf_r_press_images_001.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
