whats next for you after the max?

I will probablly keep my max for another 5 years while I pay it off, after that I am not getting another nissan. My 2k3 max is my first and last nissan. I would ideally love to get a BMW m5(money permitting). If not than then I think Ill go with the Acura equivalent of the TL or the Infinitis equivalent of the g35. What about you guys?

2006 Mustang SVT Cobra or 2007 Skyline

If I can't wait that long, then a 350z or G35c which I promptly SC either.

No more FWD for me...too much of a pain...

I'm planning to keep it till 2007/2008 and then possibly getting a Pontiac GTO (hopefully redesigned to look like the HSV).

http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread...ferrerid=49289

Would look at a WRX Sti, but probably wouldn't buy one.

Who knows depends on what out their in 5 years or so, but the 03 Max will be a keeper it will replace my "bad weather car" 89 Maxima car. The 89 has survived many cars and I expect the same with the 03.

I have another year before my Maxima is paid off. Then I'll keep her for a few more years so I don't have to deal with a new car payment since I still have to take care of my SE-R payments.

If I could get a new car today, it'd be the G35 Coupe. But by the time I can actually get another car, I don't know how the G35 will look as I'm sure it'll be redesigned by then. Oh well. I'm sure there will be plenty of nice, affordable Nissan/Infiniti cars for me to choose from years ahead.

Peace.

i would agree for the most part, except that you just cant beat Japanese reliability. Eventhough these things are built in the US...

the 04 Dodge Ram Diesel is also a strong possibility

Skyline when it makes it over here, depending on cost. If not that, then probably 7th gen Max or a Z car.

depends if i get a decent job after school.

i like the G35x sedan but i'll have to wait at least 4 years until they get cheaper.


oh yea, the Pontiac GTO is looking very nice too just have to see how reliability holds up on them.. I may be real cheap very soon.

Want to keep the AE as long as possible because of its uniqueness but if I had to upgrade or replace it:

Lexus GS400
2004 270hp TL
2004 Accord V6 coupe 6-speed
G35 Sedan

Something 2-3 years old to let someone else take the depreciation hit

More than likely it'll be G35Coupe (hopefully next year) but I've been eyeballin the Pathfinder Armada.

There are so many great cars coming out nowadays, I love that C6 Vette but that is only a dreamcar option for me at this point in my financial life.
