May 5, 200916 yr You're a quick study, DF. :wink: Nah, has to be the V8. EDIT: haha guess I was wrong. My bad on the typo Oh and don't forget much more rare...and sexy.
May 5, 200916 yr Come on Camino, go for the Pontiac G8 GXP!! So it's a sedan, who cares? That car is And then I could be jealous of you for having the G8 GXP and caddycruiser for having a G8 GT - and me not being able to afford either one

May 5, 200916 yr But the Cayman handles better and is better looking, IMO. I never cared much for the Boxster's appearance, top up it looks dumb from the back and with the top down it's not a stunner. The handling is close enough for real world use, I probably wouldn't be doing track days... I don't think the Cayman has a sunroof available. I want the top down experience for a sports car. a Boxster on a windy mountain road on a early summer day or fall day with the aspens golden, top down, sunshine, life is good...
May 5, 200916 yr Author Boxster is a non-starter, I hate it. Cayman amazes me because that roof turned a sow's ear into a silk purse.

That car is And then I could be jealous of you for having the G8 GXP and caddycruiser for having a G8 GT - and me not being able to afford either one Well, the timing is very,very, wrong. So the chances are slimmer than slim. I was planning on a 2011 MY purchase.
May 16, 200916 yr I do have one confession to make. Because of what has happened, I have briefly considered relaxing one of my requirements. I'm having a tough time even doing THAT. I've decided I don't really want a Charger ... even though I always try to rent them for my road trips. I just don't think I'd be happy "down the line" with it. Maybe I would ... but ... it ... is ... not ... a Chevy. *sighs* Definitely not in the market for a brand new car ... so the Camaro is out ... even though that'd be perfect ... RWD, coupe. So, right now ... looking at a '77 Caprice Classic ... sedan ... vs ... '06 LUMontecarloINA LT .... coupe. '77 is RWD, but it's a sedan. '06 is a coupe, but it's FWD ... and not what Chevy claims it is. Arg. I've considered the G8, but I'm not sure. As I noted, I'm not in the market for a brand new car...and the used ones I've found around here ... not close to what I want. So, we'll see....

May 17, 200916 yr There's nothing that fits what you want exactly, either way you need to relax 1 rule if you were to buy a new car. G8, but it would be a sedan Audi S5, but it is AWD, and expensive G37, but it is V6 CLK550, but it only has an auto, and is also expensive
May 17, 200916 yr Author That's where my frustration comes from, the notion that I would spend new car money for something that's an "almost" just disgusts me.
May 17, 200916 yr You must know by now that I make a point to use the very best visual aids for you Camino. :wink:
May 17, 200916 yr Lol sorry, but Id rather have a Camaro. Call me biased, but the Challenger would be my second pick. :AH-HA_wink:
May 17, 200916 yr A 2010 Mustang GT can be had for as little as $27,995. If you check the box for rear spoiler delete, it can be had for even less. How can you go wrong?

May 19, 200916 yr The Challenger is really growing on me as well. Hopefully they keep it in production for awhile... Chris
May 19, 200916 yr The Cayman is an impressive car. For a Porsche, I'd go for a Boxster S...a used one is on my list for next fun car--just because in a sports car, I want a ragtop. Boxster S is very affordable...one of my sons friends dad has one... I wonder how one would do at the local autocross? Chris
June 13, 200916 yr That's where my frustration comes from, the notion that I would spend new car money for something that's an "almost" just disgusts me. Well, glad to see I'm not alone. I keep having people tell me, "you have to compromise if you want a new(er) car." Um, yuck. Why put money on something that you aren't going to like down the road? *sighs* Cort | 35swm | "Mr Monte Carlo"."Mr Road Trip" | pig valve.pacemaker ...Chitown #2 = 07/25/09 WRMNshowcase.legos.HO.models.MCs.RTs.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "You were history with the slamming of the door" ...
