It’s a bummer that the 911 GT3 has become what it is, and as expensive as it is, pushing it outside that limit. I still think I might try to buy one some day, but until then, I’m pretty happy with my current car situation. Although if I’m honest, it’s probably better to just drive a gt3 once a year or so somewhere than actually own one. Residency Evil fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Aug 15, 2021 |

How much in-warranty S class does that price range get you nowadays? That's the direction I'd go, although the price limit might make an AMG E class more appealing.

I'd just get a 992 Carrera 4s. Perfect daily, comfortable, plenty quick enough and I could drive it in the winter.

i just assume the new Integra is going to be the missing Civic Coupe. If it actually looks like an Integra I will be shocked.

Yeah, I think my answer would either be an RS6 or E63 with enough cash left to maintain it. I saw an RS6 about 2 days ago. Nardo grey. Was p.nice.

And yeah, the RS6 looks awesome, even though it seems every automotive journalist seems to prefer the E63. We almost bought a regular A6 Allroad, but then drove the Mercedes.

At 6’ 7” I honestly don’t know what halo car I would get if I suddenly got a few million since I don’t fit in most of them. Probably just a proper station wagon from BMW or Mercedes since I want to haul my greyhound around. Currently holding out for a hybrid Outback.

Yeah but on the other side of things, it will always be basically worth what it sold for for new or more. So the total cost of ownership would be lower. AMGs have to have one of highest TCOs of any car. An S63 coupe is 180k new and 70-80k 3 years later.

Less so than AMGs, but the last year is kind of an aberration. Speaking of, AMG GTs have fallen to a pretty tempting range. I was looking at them last year and it seemed to be possible to get a 2016 AMG GT-S for 70k-80k or so. I've gotten the chance to ride in one and the sound the engine makes is just hilarious: way better than anything Porsche makes with a flat 6. The penis shaped hood is just a bonus.

Yeah I was already looking at 22 for my Bronco reservation even before all the delays so I put in an order for an F-150 instead. Luckily for me my dealer is a no-haggle, always sell less than MSRP place. The blue is great. It looks even better in person. I used the generator already to run a hair dryer so I could take the dealer sticker off.

The current situation won’t last forever. Yeah, but the msrp on a 2016 GT4 was 85k. The point I was trying to make is that cars like the GT4 depreciate way less than a lot of other cars, especially in that price range. I am specifically talking about the GT4. I would consider selling it 3-4 years later for maybe 5k less to be 'basically worth what it sold for new.' I'm done buying german sports cars/luxury cars that will be worth half what they were new in 3 years. PeterWeller posted:Acura lots will be full of Integras with 1.5Ts and CVTs.

My guess is the base powertrain will be the 1.5 and the type R will get the 2.0. Have they fixed the oil dilution issue on the 1.5 yet?

I think you're right, but Acura was hooting about bring back the Type-S line a few months ago so I suspect an Integra Type-S will happen instead. The old RSX Type-S was almost the Integra Type R; lacking the LSD and body kit. I don't know if they'd risk fragmenting the market among three trims or just do two - though we have the Civic Si and Type R, so who knows? An ITR reborn would be interesting.
