OT: Pigg car folks – I need feedback

[jpinpb]

Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts. I’m over the shock and disbelief and panic of him not stopping. I’m very sore and stiff. This is more than a hassle and inconvenience. When I tried to move the Audi to the curb, I was dragging the muffler. The whole rear was pushed down. I’m thinking undercarriage and frame got damaged. Not even sure if the convertible top will function properly. I suppose you can fix anything nowadays if you want to spend the money, but I’m thinking it’ll never be the same. Pretty sure it’s totaled. I figured I’m going to be out of pocket on this. I just don’t know what to get next.

It would help if you told us what is important to you in your next car…

Price?
Style?
Speed?
Safety?
MPG? (how many MPG do you want?)
How many seats?
How many doors?
Auto or stick?
How big?
Another convert or hard top?

My wife has a major, major crush on the new Dodge Challenger SRT8 (thanks, NCIS!!!) so it may be in our garage soon.

Me, I’m pushing for a Jaguar XF.

Price – something reasonable – I know, that’s relative. My preference is not go over 30k.

Style – The Camaro SS w/RS package, I’m looking at 37k, but I can get a fleet wholesale price and could pick it up for maybe 31k. But I’m not totally sold on it. I had a ’68 Camaro back in the day. A new Camaro is a nice retro nostalgia car and I hear great things about it, but I don’t need a muscle car. At the same time, I don’t want a boring, conservative car. I would like something sporty.

Speed – I don’t need a race car, but I would like something that will move if I need to.

MPG – something that will not suck down the dead dinos. Surprisingly, the Camaro gets decent mileage.

Seats – I had the two-seater TT and that’s fine by me. No kids and unless I’m winning a few million in the lottery, not planning on IVF or anything crazy. No kids planned. Two-seater is not a problem. Don’t plan on chauffeuring anyone around.

Doors – 2 or 4 is fine.

Definitely manual.

Size – not looking for a Hummer. Even after the accident, I still like small.

Another convertible would be great. Figure I’ll be settling for a sunrooof.

I thought about the Challenger, too. I think I’m partial to the Camaro. I also thought about a Mustang, since I used to have one of those, too. I drove that thing into the ground back in the day when I never took care of cars. That oil would get as thick as pea soup. I vouch they they are built tough.

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.

Not to jack the thread, but I just bought a Sienna XLE AWD and it is absolutely awesome IMO. Blows away my Expedition in every category.

I took it up to Big Bear two weeks ago, and the power on tap seemed endless, regardless of the grade.

Handling nothing short of impressive.

And as a bonus, in a pinch I think I could live in it for a while.
