Prius C 4 with 16" rim option.

Jlturner · 07-17-2012, 09:43 PM

Hyundai genesis or BMW 135i

Pscylo · 07-17-2012, 09:48 PM

My 71 Superbeetle.

I was considering an FR-S but purchased a 1992 MR2 NA from someone that promptly purchased an FR-S which made me jealous and want an FR-S but I have no room now b/c I purchased an MR2.

Genesis Coupe, probably.

Liquidsnake · 07-18-2012, 01:04 AM

I would have bought another 370z.

calis5nest · 07-18-2012, 01:09 AM

Bonburner · 07-18-2012, 01:15 AM

gen C 2.0t

Nothing, there just aren't any cars out there in the 20-30k range that are exciting enough to justify buying a new car (and the depreciation that joins it).

I would have just put another $2-3k in my Prelude to try and go for 300k miles.

However, if it did explode one day I would probably replace it with a Civic Si, Mazda 3 or something like that. I need 30+ mpg.

Either a Supra or an MR2. I'm a Toyota fan boy. xD

Hix · 07-18-2012, 09:28 AM

Gen Coupe or maybe a 135i

I was about to get a 2013 Mustang GT premium package with the track package. It was a fun car but im glad i got the FRS. With the money i save I can get a RXP-X 260

I actually bought a semi-Spec '92 Miata, but ended up reversing the transaction quickly after I found out that the engine in it was going to go out very soon.

That led me to place my order on the FR-S... Otherwise maybe a new WRX would've been my choice, or maybe I'd just help my wife trade-in her '10 TSX for a new Toyota 4Runner... I'm too selfish though...
