If you could get any new reasonably priced car on the market today, what would you get?
99 replies, posted
You win the lottery (but only get something like $100,000) and decide you want a brand new car (not used). What would you get?
I'd probably consider a Subaru BRZ. Wouldn't get the Toyota 86 because I don't like the Toyota badge (I'm just fussy). It's sporty, seems to be a reasonable performer, and doesn't stand out excessively (as if I'm going to drive around my neighbourhood in a Porsche). Would get a Mazda MX-5 but I don't think it would suit me; a car should reflect a bit about you.
So what about you?

Pick one.
Cars often lose around 15% of their value just rolling off the dealerships parking lot.
What I mean about reasonably priced is not a brand new Ferrari. Which is why at the top of my post I say less than $100,000.
Quite hard for me to choose new cars that I'd consider buying.
Probably a Toyota 86 or Mark X +M Super Charger.
Or a Nissan 370Z.
if it has to be new, I can only think of the GT86.

actually i'd do a mustang too, i kinda like the new ones.
TSX Sportwagon or the RLX Sport which neither are that reasonably priced but if I was just handed the money I'd buy one of those if forced to buy new.
Maybe an Accord Sport or a BRZ, but realistically I just don't think I could justify spending so much on a car(BRZ) which doesn't offer the functionality and power back. I could justify dumping 10k into a 5k car but not 25k into a brand new car that is just a drivers car.
Well the choice is obvious,

No, no, no, get rid of the RLX from that statement.....its boring.....
Same with the Accord, the TSX is better but meh, get a Mazda 6, they are great cars....
$100,000? attempt to special order a raptor with a 5 or 6 speed stick.
or a ZL1 Camaro
dat everything yo.
chevrolet spark
Probably an Audi R8. More than $100k new, though.
If it had to be under $100k, then it'd be a GT-R. Natural step up from the 350Z I drive today.
range rover supercharged
literally the only car i would even consider buying new
i am one of those "why buy new when you can buy used" kind of people
If I had to buy a new car for under 100k I'd go for a new 2014 viper, the base srt model goes for 99k, and its one of my favorite cars.
If I'd have to buy a new car, and had the money for it obviously. I'd get a Cadillac CTS-V Wagon. If I could import, an Holden HSV GTS 2014.
Realistically I wouldn't buy new and probably gonna try to snag one 4-5 years old when I change car.
Fully loaded Mazda 6.
Hmmm. [I]Brand[/I] new, or a generally recent model? Because my answer depends on which one. If it's brand new, as in a 2014 model, maybe an Impala, Camaro, or a GMC Terrain, but if it's just a recent model? I might go for a Chrysler Aspen or something. Really though I'd most likely just patch up my own little truck if I had that kind of money, and probably use the rest to get a nice place to stay.
If I were to get a brand new car I'd probably buy the new Beetle or a Jeep Commander/Liberty

How in the hell is the RLX that boring, all wheel steering or the SH-AWD that is going to make the new NSX quite interesting.
God no, I would take a Accord sport over a Mazda 6 any day. The new Mazda 6's are about the most hideous sedans out there currently. I liked the older ones which were actually quite nice but the new ones look like shit.
I would get a Sportwagon, put a CT Engineering supercharger on it and drive the piss out of it. I'd also pick up a K series manual box with an LSD and swap that silly automatic out of it instead of buying an RLX. Sure it'd be the most expensive TSX ever but I wouldn't buy it new reguardless.
This

with aftermarket headlights as soon as they're available
Hmmm. Can we keep the leftover money?
Cause if so, probably a '14 Wrangler.
I'd get the 14 Grand Cherokee... but [I]eugh[/I] I [I]hate[/I] what they did to the bodystyle.
I'd stick to Nissan mostly

Would be comfortable DD but won't be afraid to rip it up every once in a while

-39,805
That will leave me with about 4.3k to spend on taxes and other random shit.
If I were looking for fun DD's off the lot (in no particular order):
BR-Z/FR-S
Mazdaspeed 3
Mazda 2
MX5
Forester if I wanted something big but not a yacht
Honda Fit
Dodge Dart (with the fancy dual clutch gearbox)
Mustang GT
370z
Ford Focus
Lancer SE
VW Golf
All under 30k - I'm not sure I'd see myself paying more than that for something new that I'm going to lose money on; these would be cars I'd want to keep.
100k and 1 car to pick? i'd go for a v8 f-type
[editline]wef[/editline]
or an e63, motortrend tested a 2014 at 540 awhp, it's stupid fast
SRT8 challenger
for 100k i'd get a USED
Ferrari 360 6 speed, or Lamborghini Gallardo 6 speed
NEW i'd get a bad ass GT-R, Corvette Stingray 6 speed, or many many other possibilities in both the new and used category.
If i had 100k i'd fix my civic first, though.
Reasonably priced, I'd get the Ford Mustang 5.0 6 speed and do a few suspension mods to it.
Not so reasonably priced, Bmw M3 or 335is, also 6 speed.
Depends what you're looking for honestly. If you want a nice daily driver for sub $30k, Focus ST. Fiesta is good too but too small for my tastes.
Ford Escape is gud car too, especially with the 2.0l ecoboost.

Have you seen the latest one? Do you have eyeballs? If yes, then how can you come to the conclusion it's a good car? The old one was a fantastic little thing, but the new one is just bad.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;42922802]Wouldn't get the Toyota 86 because I don't like the Toyota badge (I'm just fussy). [/QUOTE]
I'm sorry but what
You wouldn't get a car because of the badge it has?
