Searching for new car....again.
Well I am at it again. I have grown out of the IS300 and the monthly payments are WAY too high. Anyways, I am looking for something in an automatic, looks good with some aftermarket wheels, has some class to it, and has at lease 250hp. Or a deisel pickup would work too. Something preferably 2003 or newer, but will go to 2001 depending on car. Price needs to be less than $25,000.00 so I can save some money on my car payments. Here is my hitlist...
Infiniti G35 Coupe
Audi A4
Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel
The Maybe cars...
Nissan 350Z again
Chrysler 300C but only if it has a Hemi
Ford F-250 Diesel
Any other ideas???

My choice out of what you listed would definately be the Audi A4 or if you can find one at the right price... S4. i love the Audi lineup
or the trucks are good too... but its just as easy to dump money in a turbo deisel truck. its relatively easy to make 500whp/600wtq in them... plus you can lift them with big wheels and tires.... I had a truck about 3 years ago and dumped alot of money into it.

Cadillac Convertible - luxury with a vette engine
my next car will probably be German - always admired their engineering and how they get the most performance out of their hp.

I'll look for a used BMW when I'm there. They're generally more maintenace free and have less electrical problems compared to Mercedes.

next day.
How about the M45? A neighbor here has one and it's really nice. Or the FX45? That's a nice looking ride too.

Ah, you want sporty? How about that new IS350? The new Subaru Legacy is pretty sweet too, but I don't think you'll like that. Or how about the Range Rover Sport? If I had the money, I'd get that (or the Range Rover). Those last too are pretty pricey though.
