What will be your next vehicle? - Page 2

Nothing for awhile as i just bought a 08HHR and picked up a 05 Galant for her.

Needless to say when the time come's it will be based on Gas Mileage and Price.

Seriously though i would love to Drive both of these into the Ground and pick-up a 2011-2012 Camaro..

Then again this all depends on the Economy.

Another Outdated Platform.

I would worry more about just finding a job in this economy. Then affording a Lotus or M3.

I'll start it off.

I love my GA and I've driven it for eight years (I know, seems odd, but it's true). I'm going to be having some little ones in the next few years, so I need more space, more safety features, more utility, and certainly a vehicle that does better in the snow. I'll most likely be going to a truck next. My first choice is certainly a Toyota Tundra 5.7 liter Limited. If I can find a used one in my price range in a year or so, that's what I'll be getting. I love the features, the looks, and most importantly the POWER. I don't drive enough for the crappy gas mileage to matter much. My second choice would be a double cab Tacoma. Nearly half the horsepower, but still a great ride and nice features.

I've also toyed with the idea of getting a car and a beater truck for hauling. I've done this in the past, but my insurance rates were REALLY high. If I had to get a car, I would get an '07 Acura TL (new ones are waaaay too expensive), an '07 Subaru Legacy GT (turbo all-wheel drive makes me melt), or I'd wait a little longer for a used '09 Nissan Maxima (beautiful car with nearly 300 horses).

How about you????

I wouldn't get a Tundra if you plan on using it as a Truck. Check out the data on Chevy/Dodge/Toyota/Ford Comparison. The Toyota is the Worst one atleast for Offroading.

I think he is engineering, which is probably second in pay to a Business school finance major.

Toyota truck comes in last place, no matter what Car and Driver and all their ****ty counter parts say. Take a look at their recalls, they have some of the most serious recall issues of ANYONE ever... like engines straight up failing.

Besides, Toyota's are for women.

if i still want it by then im going with a gsxr600 after grad school (2014)...counting on my GA to last till then

DrFabulous · 02-04-2009, 11:33 PM

05-06 GTO, no questions asked.

I said that when I had my blue GA, then went out and bought a Mazda instead, now I'm back into a GA. I've always been a GTO fan, and I'd love to have a newer one to keep for a long time.

Rich · 02-04-2009, 11:35 PM

a gto would be sweet for sure. but the G8 looks so much meaner, that id have to go for that. except a manual gto would be easier to find.

I do love the G8, and sure, it would probably be a better overall buy.... but I'm partial to the GTO name, and I really dig the subtleness of the GTO.

That being said, I'd LOVE to have a G8 as my every day car, even the V6.

Rich · 02-04-2009, 11:41 PM

a dude at work has a G8 and i almost cause an accident everyday in the parking lot staring at it.

White G8s are hot

Rich · 02-04-2009, 11:43 PM

when they first came out i really wanted to see a white one but i was a bit underwhelmed when i did. id have to go for black or the gray.

rocketfast123 · 02-05-2009, 12:58 AM

Mazda 3 is one on my list

K WeRd · 02-05-2009, 02:55 AM

04 Impreza. Doesn't matter the package. Black or white.

I'd love to get a Nissan GT-R (V-Spec)
Screw the gas mileage, I just want one of those sex beasts.

Wutang1 · 02-05-2009, 06:49 AM

I really want a 2000 something Camaro SS. I would love to have one of those car. Something like this one.

New (09+) or old?

This is quickly turning from a "what will be your next vehicle" to a "what do you wish will be your next vehicle" thread..

That's why I kept my answer simple..I don't really care as long as it meets my requirements (affordable, reliable (meaning few issues if any aka not a grand am), good mileage).

I don't think mine is out of reach
