Default Thoughts on a new car?

Well, I'm planning to make a jump up in terms of cars here in the near future, and I have a few that I am looking at seriously. I haven't really decided whether I want a sports car, or perhaps sport luxury. In terms of sports cars, I've been looking at the BMW Z4, Honda S2000, and Mercedes C230. In terms of sports luxury, I've been looking at the Infiniti G35 coupe, Chrysler Crossfire, and perhaps even the BMW 6 coupe.

Any thoughts on these would be appreciated...

I thought I had too...

One thing I have learned is, no more hybrids, and no more used cars.

The New Subaru Legacy is fast, and considered luxury. You should check it out.

well....If you like to put the top down get an S2000, one of the new ones. There's a lot to be said for a drop top. The funnest car to drive out of everythin you have listed is without a doubt the S2000. I know, I've driven them all. I wouldn't even consider the C230 or the Crossfire. I'm REALLY diggin the G35 coupe and I think I might pick one up before I go to Hawaii, we'll see. If you're considering the G35 you really should go check out a new TL too...they're way more bad ass than I thought they would be.
