Next Car... Help me decide...
 
Hey everyone,
Help me decide what to get. Ive been going back and fourth with this for a month. My original plan was to get a 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS. This is still a strong option, but I have been thinking about what cars I can get for the same or lower price. I am keeping my truck, so this car wont be a daily driver. 4 doors is a plus but not necessary. I have access to a dealer auction, so I can pick up used cars really cheap. The prices I listed are all auction pricing with the exception of the Camaro which I will have to by at MSRP. What do you guys think? Pick one and let me know why you picked it.

my vote goes to either the g8 or the ctsv. but, i picked the cts becasue... well, its a caddy :)

Where you gunna get an 08 CTS for 21k?
Edit: nevermind, saw that

As for what to get...oh man, the choices!!

G8 GT is a great buy, offering great power and tons of room.
05 CTS-V, another great buy but interior materials lack.
Camaro RS SS package really offers a LOT for the money.
08 CTS with the DI 3.6 offers good power, great handling, smooth ride, and luxury interior. The SFI 3.6 offers decent power, but will be the underpowered model of the mix.

Other options Id look at is the new Buick Lax, which will be shown at midnight tonight.

Fast92RS 01-07-2009 06:38 PM

CTS-V

2RARE84s 01-07-2009 06:40 PM

Camaro! That is what I might get soon... or a Z06, but I am still partial to the Camaro.

Dont ask me why, but they are already at the auctions.

BigAls87Z28 01-07-2009 06:45 PM

If you can really get a CTS for 21k, with a DI engine, the 40gig hd and navi, then DUIT!!

But the Camaro SS RS is really hot car too...they would be the two choices IMO.

qwikz28 01-07-2009 06:47 PM

G8. no question

Mark B 01-07-2009 06:47 PM

I dont know what kind of options I can get at the auction, I am kind of limited to whatever is there. I am the kind of guy that likes to get all of the goodies with my cars, so the 08+ CTS with all of the goodies might take me a while to find in the auctions. Im willing to be that the one I saw go for 21k probably was a base.

BigAls87Z28 01-07-2009 07:01 PM

Yeah, I would figure that as well.
G8 GT for 18k would also be a great deal...I didnt see that either. If you can really get a G8 GT for 18k...I might want to check that out...

Featherburner 01-07-2009 07:10 PM

I picked the G8 GT. See if you can figure out why. :lol:

BigAls87Z28 01-07-2009 07:31 PM

Performance wise I'd go camaro luxury I'd go cts. For a little bit of both I'd go g8

Blackbirdws6 01-07-2009 08:00 PM

Chose the G8 not because I own one but I find it to be a great value at that price and is newer than the CTS-V. Tough choices but they all look pretty fun!

dodge neon

misterjuice 01-07-2009 08:15 PM

another vote for G8...just don't get orange SUCKA!!!

sweetbmxrider 01-07-2009 09:44 PM

honestly, i'd have to leave it up to you. i would drive as many as you can, decide from there.

Cant risk it...

procamaroz28 01-07-2009 11:57 PM

they make the g8 now with a 6 speed... thats what i would and most likely get in the near future

NJSPEEDER 01-07-2009 11:59 PM

Did anyone ever notice that the answers to polls like this always seem to gravitate towards the most expensive option? lol

Anti_Rice_Guy 01-08-2009 12:00 AM

CTS-V.....a cheaper version of the G8 GXP, with all the amenities, and still looks badass and performs well. There's a silver CTS-V with Magnaflow exhaust in my town and I <3 it. A sweet car regardless of doors, and a bit of a sleeper.

NJ Torque 01-08-2009 12:17 AM

G8...

Only the G8 GXP had the 6spd manual option.

CHRIS67 01-08-2009 06:38 AM

Camaro, in my biased opinion. :lol:
