What car should i get next???

well i bought my evo on april 1st, 2007. I plan to sell it in about 4-6 months from now. This was my 2nd evo and i think its an AWESOME car and think its 1 of the greatest cars ever created, but i want to move on and try other things...so im thinkin of the following cars, which would u guys choose based on the purpose(daily driver, racing here n there, just spirited drives here n there and just sex on wheels)

-MKIV Supra TT (converted single).
Love: the sound of a single T supra, reliability, holds value, looks nice ONLY when modded(dropped, lip, wheels), maintenance isnt bad
Hate: the dash, stock looking the car looks like SH*T, expensive to make it look nice(but cheap to make fast when BPU'd), price of a 10yr old car

-04 C5 z06 vette
Love: light, insane power stock, looks sweeeet
Hate: small cabin, SH*TTY interior, v8 maintenance

05 Benz E350 Sport
Love: comfy, pimp, easy to make it look nice (rims)
Hate: maintenance costs, slow

06 Lexus IS350
Love: comfy, pimp, looks nice stock, ok priced maintenance, reliable
Hate: Looks like a girl's car.


Basically looking at the 35k'ish range or less.

yea my gf wants me to get that car but she supports any car i get ..i've rode and drove in a few IS250/350s, theyre damn comfy cars (backseat is pretty small tho). But that thing is slow. I want luxury fast (Benz AMG!!!!...too pricey). I always told myself if i buy a luxury sedan, im gonna go big...Benz S550, 7series(been there), something along those lines. IS350 might be a nice choice tho. I've seen it on INGS kit, that thing is NICE.

You can get a brand new CTS-V for $35k. 400hp/400lb-ft with a 100k warranty

You can probably find a used '05/'06 C6 Corvette for under $35k. Not sure what you mean by V8 maintenance, but they don't cost anymore than 4 or 6 cylinder engines to maintain.

A new CTS-V is a LOT more than 35k

For a daily driver around 35k that has some pep, I'd look into a new TL Type S 6spd or a used E46 M3.

Audi A3
Infiniti G35C
Mazdaspeed Mazda6
Subaru Legacy GT specB

The new (07) TL type S 6 speed is a very nice car, with quite a bit of power.

Not really. You can still get left over brand new '06 models for $35-37k. They are nearly 3 year old cars that sold for $45-50k new.
