Which new car for around 40k?
I am thinking about purchasing a new car. I am not sure which direction I should go though. Any suggestions?
So far I thought of the following:
2008 LS3 Corvette (430hp, 6 speed, targa top, 5 year warranty, fast)
2008 G37S (330hp, would get one with all the bells and whistles, 6 speed, looks very refined yet sporty)
2008 MB C300 (6 speed, all the toys, panoramic roof, 220hp
, new body style, 4 doors)
I have no idea if i want all out performance, vette or a nice 4 seater..the benz or something in the middle the G37. Which one would you guys pic? I get get a 08 for bout 43k that would sticker in at around 48-49k, not sure if dealers are negotiating on the prices at all on the other two so if i include them at stick the G will be about 41-42 and the benz will be just shy of 40k. I have someone looking at my car on tuesday, it being my only car, i think i should really make up my mind on what i want as a replacement.

Ever think about the Chryster SRT-8 (luxury and performance)
Lexus IS350 (they run mid/high 13's stock)
Also i would look into S4's 390hp awd. I think they MSRP high 40's low 50's although im not positive.
Although i don't like BMW's the 335I could be neat as well.

+1 on the G37..for the cars you didnt list I'd say check out the 335 BMW also. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me that you dont really want a modded car anymore but just a relatively quick stock car...

LS3 Corvette > G37 if you want a badass car like you have now, just a little bit newer. If you want to try something new, and or need more space I guess the G37 is alright.
I'd also rock the new bmw, don't know how much they cost though
