Default decisions

Im buying a car for about 40 grand, not much more. I was thinking, acura tl type s, infiniti g35 sedan, lexus is 350, or the bmw 3 series. What do you guys thinkabout the best of those choices ? Anything I'm missing?

Saturn Sky Redline. It pwns faces stock and with the 10 grand you save by not buying shit you can drop in all kinds of sick shit into the Ecotec and melt phaises. Not to mention VVT and 20 psi stock boost.

Also, dont be a poser with a damn 3-series Beamer.

Of those you listed, the G35. Of course, as the man above me mentioned, you can go faster for $30k and have money to burn. Also see: WRX STi, Evo, GTO...

Another vote for the G35 out of what you listed.

Also another vote for EVO or STI.

How about a Porsche Cayman?

Get a volvo. They match up nicely with what you've already listed. Plus the options available are insane.

2008 Volvo S80 starts at around 38k. uses their first ever V8 engine with 311hp.

Or a S60R - which is a 300hp 5 cylinder turbocharged. Lighter car with just a tad bit power. Of course if you dont want a high performance car there is other variations available and can drop 8k from the price.

If you want something really unique get a C70. Not as fast, but hard top convertible all the way.

Aren't you just a kid?

Therefore if this was more than just a topic to feed your fantasies it would be proper to say your parents are buying the car.

Just to play along, I'd go with the G35 out of those choices.

Since the G35 is a sedan my vote goes to the Lexus is 350. The Acura TL Type S is also a good choice but most here for some reason feel that FWD is inferior to RWD.
