Help me pick out a potential new car

[Raza]

The drivers of the G35/37s seem like the privileged boy-racer types around here, but beyond that I don't have enough observation to have much of an opinion about them. Infiniti's more expensive luxury cars and SUVs do not seem to sell well here. They're probably the least common "large" luxury brand I see around here, despite the dealership's heavy advertising.

Yeah, I wasn't aware Infiniti sold anything but Gs.  I know they have other models for sale, but no one buys them.

[Raza]

Not where I live, fortunately.

I guess they sell them since everytime I drive by there are several on their lot, but I never see them actually on the road. Everyone seems to drive Range Rovers, Escalades, and more Range Rovers in that price bracket here.

Besides, the Genesis isn't remotely sporty.  I don't understand the love affair people on here have with it.

It's a relatively inexpensive vehicle for what you get.  You pretty much have a vehicle that would potentially sell for 50% more if it was a luxury marque with the same equipment.  On top of that, instead of the crooked Honda wanna-be logo, you get the imitation Bentley logo in the back instead so  people won't know you're actually driving a Hyundai.  On the Exterior, it looks like a cross between a Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes Benz... you have a collage of cars..

[NomisR]

What about a x6 M?  I'm seeing quite a few of those.. they're starting to look good.

[93JC]

No, no they are not. They looked stupid to begin with and they will always look stupid. Get your eyes checked.

The special badge is actually a dealer-installed option. It comes with a Hyundai logo from the factory.

Oh, that I didn't know.. I guess most of the Genesis owners I saw didn't want people to know they're driving a Hyundai then... makes sense.

I saw one on the highway yesterday that had the weird logo and it was the first like that I'd seen. The Genesis seems pretty popular, but I guess most of them around here brandish the regular H. Probably varies a lot from dealer to dealer too on how they push the car.

Right, I'm sure most of the badges are installed before the customer even sees the car.

I saw that a couple of weeks ago and assumed it was a new thing for 2011 models or something.

Obviously the

Looks like it's hunting for plankton.

And you may be left with 2 holes in the back.

I recommend a DAF 600: classic lines, boxer engine, CVT transmission, celebration of your Dutch heritage.

Let's see. Dazzleman is of Dutch descent so that means a DAF is a good choice. At the same time the brand "Volvo" was mentioned.

No problem.

Volvo 66 - based on the DAF 66.  




Or better yet, get that Citroen CX behind it.  


And "66" also coincides with his current age, right?

I actually have a friend with a brother almost as old as Dave.

That is indeed a handsome beast.

What about an Audi S4?  7 speed dual clutch.

I just hope you get something dazzling

CTS-V


You know you want a black or classy pearlescent white one.  Fuck the imports.  You don't drive much, so you might as well have something really fucking cool/awesome/badass.

I think we've found PMCIII's real identity. Cale.

I think you were around 9 years old at the time, which is about the right mental age for PMC's shenanigans

[dazzleman]

Thanks for the suggestions guys.  I'll come back with comments in the next couple of days.  Lots going on.

[68_427]

Do you have a little time off from work?  I hope at some point I can car shop and just go drive everything.
