Need help choosing next car

Your price range is all over the place ($20k's - $50k+'s), so here's something a bit closer to the affordable side of the spectrum. What about one of the new Altima SE-R's. A friend of mine has one and loves it. Same engine as what you already have in your Z (de-tuned of course). Still has 265 HP. Good mileage and reliability. Still a Nissan. If you cang et over the ugly rear-end, then it's a good car.

Im not really a luxury car guy. As for my price range bieng all over the place...I have the money, but I would rather not spend it. Another thing is, although it may sound vain, I need a "cool" car. I am materialistic when it comes to cars. If I had all of the money in the world I would get out of a Lamborghini Mercialago with a Hanes undershirt and pajama pants. I know its sad, but I can't help it. I want people to look at my car (not me) while I am driving down Main St. in Huntington.

Have you seen the new M6? Same V10 as the M5, about 500 hp. But in a coupe. Coming out in 2006 sometime.

I'm thinking about trading in my Z for something more "snow practical", since it snows much more in Germany than it does here. The S60 R comes to mind. I don't know why I've an infactuation with that car, but it's just so... "refined".

Hate to bring up an old thread but I have come to a new conclusion as of today. I was locked on a Mustang, but now I have actually changed my mind to something completely different, a 2005 Jeep Wrangler (not the longer one though). Here are my reasons.
- Cheaper
- Dirt cheap aftermarket parts
- I can still bounce around sites for work
- Has just as much back seat as the new Mustang
- I can go off-roading
- Same gas mileage as the Mustang
- Build like a tank
What do you guys think?

Oh thank god you're not thinking about the GT anymore. Anything less than a Cobra or a GT500 cannot be respected, IMO. That's just me though. The Wrangler is a great idea. Throw on those fatty AT tires, the 14" or 15" modular wheels, off road suspensions, full under carriage plating, and a winch and you'll be good to go!
