2007 G35?
If so, then G35>all the others listed.

You're probably better off asking in the "Other Cars" forum - someone else is asking a similar question:

Bang for your buck....is what im going for in November... Dodge Charger SRT-8
425 HP stock 0-60 4.9 Sec (4 door big sedan) 20" forged wheels brembo brakes... built on MB E class architecture. Under 38k. Small mods by Hennessey Performance 500hp easy w/o a blower or anything crazy... just my .02

 

Good call VQ! I was looking at the same thing - pretty tough to come by the SRT versions but they are right up there in performance for the big sedans.

If I see one here I might grab that before the CTS-V, but I've ALWAYS wanted a Caddy

 

Check Fleabay...they have a bunch.... I worked at a Dodge Dealer for 1.5 yrs...so I can pick mine up new fr roughly 35k... with SRT pkg 1,2,3...
if you havent driven one... i highly recommend it.... sick!

 

WOW, thank you everyone for all the suggestions..

Wisky97SE: I LOVE the A4 2.0 T body style as well. I never owned an Audi and can't wait to test drive it!

VQ35Life: Thank you VERY much for telling me about the Mercedes-Benz C230 Sports Sedan. I have really liked that car, especially with the AMG wheels and the sporty look. How much was your 06 Maxima lease?

Everyone else thanks. Keep the voting going!
I'll be posting some pics of EVERY test drive (well the cars lol).

 

LEXUS IS350 No doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a car!!!!

 

Thank you all so much for voting and helping me out. I will be visiting 3 dealers per day, once every week until all cars are test driven & seriously looked at in order of the Poll from Highest Number of votes to Lowest Number of votes.

First Day: Infiniti --> Acura --> BMW (No Nissan since Altima not out yet unfortunately)

Second Day: Audi --> Volvo --> Mercedes-Benz

Third Day: Saab --> Cadillac --> Lexus

I'll let you all know how it goes.

 

None of the cars are better enough to warrant buying another car for.

 

I would go for G35, but I would also keep an eye on Lexus IS. Both IS 250 and 350 models I believe deserve consideration.

 

bastard! I love car shopping... Stay away from Audi - they have notoriously bad reliability stats.. the new models look sharp though. and definitely check out the new Lexus'.. their new lineup looks nice. Lots of options! Have fun car shopping

 

Whenever I see these polls the first thing that I think of is how the vehicles are so different. There is NO substitute for driving. It's a shame that sometimes people make a decision based on a monthly payment, and say if that deal were around when I got mine, I woulda maybe could should woulda.....

I was at The Ultimate Drive and got a chance to drive the E90 3 Series, A4 3.2Q, and G35 sport back to back. No surprise the road course was made so difficult that the G35 and A4 could not hang. Then the professional driver told us to step on it with the 330. 325 with sport package is also going to handle very well. The G35 is very nose heavy and has plenty of power, but in the twisties it's not of much use. One can certainly argue going to and from work is not a road course, either.

Again, moral of my story, don't be afraid to drive each and every car on your list. Sure, it takes up time, and you have to talk to salespeople, but in the end, you'll have a good shot of being satisfied with your decision.

 

It certainly is, but it's so expensive it'd be criminal not to consider a 330 or even 335....darn shame it's a V6 and there's no stick....but the most impressive Japanese car I've driven in the last 3 years (and I got a chance to do the new GS430 which I cannot afford )

 

Thanks for all of your help. I bought the 2007 Mercedes-Benz Black on Black C230 Sport Sedan today. Picking up in a couple days..pics to come.

 

I'd go with the Dodge Caliber!! YEah!
