I also hear that in 2011 I will be able to get a Fiat Abarth here in the U.S. and that seems like something fun.
I also wouldn’t mind getting another TT, but I think that’ll be out of my practical budget.[/quote]
Wow, my kinda woman…knows a lot about cars and likes fun ones! lol
Can’t go wrong with a Camaro SS…I love’em too. I saw my first one in downtown SF last August and my tongue’s been out ever since.
I too am awaiting the return of Fiats to our shores…Alfas are coming back, too!
But since you’re in a pinch right now, here are the things that you could buy today (though the Camaro is a grand idea and I don’t discourage that choice at all):
– Volkwagen CC (these things are gorgeous in black or silver! And I’m not a VW guy…your Golf R32 idea is great also)
– 2009-2011 BMW Z4 (not a big BMW guy, but this is sharp)
– Mustang/Camaro/Challenger (love’em all)
– 2010 Vette GS (base vette cost with Z06 looks…drool!)
– Nissan 370Z vert w/manual (I like these)
– Volvo C30 (I know, it’s a boring Volvo…but in right color and at right angles, it’s a beauty)
– Mini (problem: everyone and their dog has one now)
I know some of those are outside your price parameters, but if you’re like me you’ll end up blowing through your target anyway when you sign on the dotted line. 🙂
If you could hold out until Sept or so, the 2011 Mustang V6 gets more HP than my wifes 3 yo Mustang V8 and gets 31 MPG to boot! It is supposed to be a screamer…
If you can hold out TWO years, the 2012 Tesla S looks to be a standout…
