If you could get any new reasonably priced car on the market today, what would you get?

The annoying thing for me is I can't stand that crease in the back of the current CTS, but I think the rest of it is an absolutely fantastic car.
For reference:
First gen CTS

Other than that one little line right in the middle of the bumper, I adore the CTS-V sedan.

I'm surprised no one in here has said anything about the Tesla P85 Model S
I'd probably get either a CTS-V Wagon or the Tesla Model S

I'd have a fully loaded Audi S6

They make one of those actually, it's called the ATS.

Either way, I'd have to go with the CTS-V Wagon too. It's by far one of the best looking wagons ever, Cadillac really knows what they are doing again.
The ATS is a close second, but muh V8
I would probably get a BMW 5-series (530/535 I think) like I have now but a new one. Like the car and I think it looks good.
Or if I would choose anything other than a BMW I would probably get a Toyota Hilux with tons of extra lights. Never drove one but sat in a 2013 model and it was real nice. Problem is diesel but I could live with that.
So nothing special I guess.
Definitely a Model S. You could get the p85 performance, with 416 hp and 4.2 0-60, and ALMOST fully pimped out. Only about 20k off. :V:
Shame on the hoes saying "GT86" when they SHOULD be saying "BRZ". Because, c'mon, who wants to join a community that contains people driving Scion TC's?
2013 Ford Focus ST. I have a thing for hot hatches.

i'm sorry i'm from europe and i'd rather have my superior toyota than your silly subaru.
[editline]7th December 2013[/editline]
plus the scion is an fr-s
But, the only differences is suspension tuning. :v:
Personally there are a lot of cars I would want, but I'm going to stick to BMW's since that's what I drive at the moment. I'm basically in the camp that everything BMW made after 2001 is awful, but there's one car they've somehow managed to get right. The E90 (3 series) coupe has something really nice about the way it looks. I see a modern 5 or 7 series coming and I can't tell them apart, and the 1 and 2 series... what a joke. But this little gem?

I don't know, they've done something right. With the right colour and such, they can look pretty mean and they go like a little rocket. I wouldn't be opposed to having one of these as a daily driver, and keeping the 7 as an off-day / weekend cruiser. Perhaps even a 4 series coupe if the price is right;

Only thing I still can't stand is the plastic riddled interiors. I'm sure there are other cars I'd rather go for but right off the top of my head, the latest 3 series cars have stood out to me a bit and that's saying something. Bulletproof little motors in them too...
Another Challenger, Charger, BRZ (no toyota pls). I want to say that new shelby 500gt but they are more then reasonable.

I think you need to ditch the brand issue with the BRZ and FR-S, they are both the same damned car. You won't be looked at any differently if you buy a BRZ over an FR-S, hell, most people will confuse the two for eachother since they are the same down to every nut and bolt except the badge on the front.
the FRS associates you with the types of people that buy scions.
Also pretty sure you're wrong on them being the same except for the badge.
[editline]13th December 2013[/editline]
Different tune, different headlight options on the FRS, 'better' seats on the BRZ.

Oh man imagine an frs with rocket bunny

I rolled with Scion because it was the only one on sale at my Toyota Dealer. BRZs tend to be more rare.

Replace the Scion/Subaru emblem with the Toyota one, bam :v:
its a shame the brz is marked up so much because muh prestige
I can see why they made more Scion versions, Scion doesn't really have anything going for them but Subie got the WRX etc
Plus subie gets the STI. TRD hasn't been putting out the most sporty things as of late
Bmw r1200gs.
Already got a new car that I like.

Forgot about those maybe one of those. In red.

Brz also drove a little softer. I liked it better.

AFAIK Subaru is allowed to sell one BRZ for every FRS/GT-86 Scion/Toyota sells.
one BRZ for every 10 FRS
Woops, forgot the number. I thought it was only like 4 though.
Honestly, I'd probably just buy an FR-S and a few go-fast goodies for it if I had to buy brand new. There just isn't anything else I'm particular excited about.
