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…

Whatever you get, I’d love to hear about it…

No way would I get an automatic. In fact, when I got the TT it was not intentional. I was looking for a turbo beetle at Miramar Audi/VW and they only had auto. Then they tried to sell me a convertible bug and I didn’t want it b/c it looked like an abberation of a beetle. They had the TT convertible right next to the bug convertible and I said, “If I want a convertible, I just as soon get a TT.” Half kidding. The guy said it was a certified pre-owned and they would give me a deal. Once I test drove it, that was it for me.

So a friend said to check for a certified pre-owned Boxster S, like 2005/2006. Would be a little over my 30k limit. Any thoughts?
