new car thread

So, we finally got an offer on our house in IL, and I can finally look at getting a new car.

Help me choose SE.
Chrysler 300C HEMI

LXCX48_X_PXRx.jpg


or

Dodge Charger R/T HEMI

IMG_5574.jpg


or

Lincoln MKZ

2008.lincoln.mkz.20133026-396x249.jpg


I was also looking at a new Jeep Unlimited. The local dealer near my house has a Willy's model with the lift kit and aftermarket rims and tires for under $36k.

Believe it or not, the new 08 Ford Taurus are really nice looking cars. I was amazed. It's like they actually tried to engineer something that wasn't god awful this year.

Not sure I'd drive it, but still, not bad for the price.



also "olol amurrican cars r teh suk u shuld drive a civic cuz amerricun cars are alwys brok" sorry, I just don't care for the look or feel. Call it personal preference.

    I'd take the 300.

    The Taurus/500 are nice but Ford is retarded and late and they're not selling.

    I imagine your options are limited to those that offer hand controls? What japanese makes offer them?

    I can get hand controls in anything.

    I do however, come from a UAW family.


    That, and frankly, I just don't like the "imports". Even those that aren't imported, I just don't like them. Jay has a 2008 Accord, I don't like it. He loves it, which great, good for him. I wouldn't like it.

    Another friend has a new Nissan something or other, I don't like it.

    Another one has a new Camry. Don't like it.


    I'm tall and I want to be comfortable dammit. I also want a vehicle that responds when I say go.

    Of the 3, I'd say Charger or 300. They're the same fucking car though.

    Personally I'd rather do a CTS or Malibu (both receiving incredibly high scores from many sources) but dunno if either of those would work for you

    Dude, you don't have to get every goddamn option do you? I think they start at $34k.

    here is what I require:

    leather
    premium sound
    heated seats
    sunroof
    premium wheels and tires
    performance
    navigation
    satallite

    in order to get each of those in a CTS, you spend 45 grand. Believe me, I'd looooooove one, but not gonna happen.



    t:Fari I could give two shits about the UAW, but I honestly just don't want to hear about how I'm "running honest folk out of work" every god damn time I talk to a fucking family member.

    That looks like a Sentra, Stale, which is below your price range. Look at the Altima and Maxima. Fine cars. The only downside is as good as they look, they'll some how be better looking next year.
