KillJoy Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 It is possible to have a car the has a Warranty, will be reliable in the long run, is family friendly (ie - 4 Doors), be reasonably affordable and STILL have some sort of performance to it?

Trouble Maker Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Pontiac G8 (maybe you can find leftover new for cheap still?). Cadillac CTS, or even the Wagon if you need lots of room. Along the lines of A4/A6, S4 or S6, 3 series 4 door (don't know if these fit your definition or 'reliable'). I'll try to think of some more. It's a shame they don't make the V6 4 door Accord with a manual, only the 2 door has the manual option for the V6 models. Acura TSX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 fusion (awd with manual) This would be a very interesting car, but I'm not seeing it on Edmunds or Ford's website. I'm seeing AWD is only available on Sport (top trim) with the 'select shift'. I'm assuming select shift is some auto with paddles and/or stick. I'm only seeing the Manual available on some FWD 4-cylinder models. Maybe I'm just not seeing something or there is a new version for the 2011 model?

Guess not would be nice to see. Also if they mated it with a ecoboost v6 then it would be the cats meow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW$HEEET Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Old people arguing about being old. Whats your budget? e39 M5, fuck having a warranty because those are for pussies, and married old people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, G8 GT 4door. Thing is so awesome. If it had AWD I would have been first in line. I still want one.

SpaceGhost Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I though Pontiac was selling all it's cars even new 8k off sticker. I saw a truck load of G8 GT 4 door sedans on 270 a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
