This sweet little cherry caught my eye the other day...

Still needs to be re-geared to 5.13 though which runs about $2K or less. If you can drop another $5K you could supercharge it!

You could save yourself some money and buy a knockoff Aston Martin:



With all the money you save, you can buy yourself a knockoff Rolix watch.

I'm a VAG guy () so I love the four rings. I love the Audi wagons. I'd love an S4 Avant.

I love my A6 wagon. Plenty of room (for now) for the kids. Fun to drive.

art, if you want a great, unique car you should buy a vw phaeton. it's build on the same platform as the bentley continental/flying spur. here's one with a v8, but if you really want to be big pimpin find one with the w12:

I would love to have one of these, but you can't find a post-2006 model anywhere in the US. They stopped importing them to the US in '06, but apparently they sell like hotcakes in China and Germany.

I was almost ready to pull the trigger on an Audi, when I found out Infiniti and Acura are having some special incentives to lease right now. Does anyone have any experience with the Infinite G or the Acura TL? I plan to drive all 3 next week. I will probably take the 335i for another spin, but I can't get past the perception I have of most BMW owners.

Around my neck of the woods, there are tons of 328s being driven by guys in Tom Hardy shirts or 40ish women, still trying to dress like their daughters. Again, that is just my perception and likely not a reality. Though I do have two different friends that drive 550i's, that are good guys driving a fantastic looking car.

i haven't driven this generation of tl, and frankly i think they're ugly. the g series are great cars but it seems like everyone has one right now. i like the m series more and you might be able to get a new one in your price range. do you know if you'd want the awd on either?

No need for AWD. I'm hanging on to my Tacoma, for my daughter to drive. If the roads are ever bad enough, to require AWD (a rarity around here). I will drive the truck and her school will almost certainly be canceled.

Every single one of them talks about marketing and solutions and paradigms and they've all got those ridiculous mobile phone earpieces in.

Sounds like your peception is pretty close to reality.

I agree with Camleish -- look at the Infiniti M. The Infiniti G and M are by far the best looking Japanese luxury cars, and IMO the performance is better than both Lexus and Acura. The reliability won't be as good as Lexus, but it's still pretty good. Even if everyone has the G anyway, who cares?
