Just looking at this thread sometimes i wonder if some of these cars are real or just some sweaty fat guy posting from his basement who drives a station wagon posting his dream car.

Ok, $47k for a 528i. Still, a much better deal than the Cadillac.

I guess, if you order one with one with standard paint and zero options (it won't exist in dealer inventory). Save your money for when it goes out of warranty. That gets expensive.

I switched from BMW to a Subie STi for the very reason that BMWs have become overpriced, and overly expensive to maintain/repair. They are great cars, and wonderful to drive, but you really have to be prepared to pay if you want to own one.

I probably wouldn't buy a Caddy either, but I think the CTS-V is pretty nice, and I loved watching them race (and kick Porsche, Viper, and Corvette ass).

cool story bro. macrumors forumites tend to be a more affluent crew

----------

the CTS-V is an amazing vehicle and not a bad price for what you get. I'm hoping to get one a a DD in a few years and make my z a weekend summer cruiser
 
The CTS is probably the only "expensive" american car I would ever buy. They look (and drive, AFAIK) wonderfully.

american cars have come a LONG way in the last few years, and the muscle cars are amazing. A camaro would look REALLY cool in England, because you wouldn't see many of them there. And the higher end camaro zl1 is nothing to sneeze at. If you really want a muscle car with serious performance look at the mustang Boss 302. I would never buy one in the states because they are so common but having one in england would be very cool for the same reason I drive a 370z in the states... rarity.

It might have something to do with "gas" costing $8-10 per gallon. When you have to endure that, you soon realise that 99% of your driving doesn't require more than a 1 litre engine.

Out with some other local NSXs yesterday to attend (as spectators) an annual exotic car show. We were lucky enough to get a block of parking together. My car on the end.

I think the original wheels looked a lot nicer. The ones you have now look dated and out of place on the car in my opinion. Nice paint colour though.

I had a look at the Honda site and it seems you can't get the Civic (Type-R) hatchback in the USA. :eek:

I have the opposite opinion. I like the 5-spoke replacements better. The silver 10-spoke in the first shots look too ordinary and mundane. They scream "OEM"!

OEM+ is quite a big car culture scene in the UK

Anyway, couple pics of my ZS with Mondeo alloys on, which kinda proves my point.

Just gave my car a wash and wax. It's usually how I clear my mind.
With my truck in front of it.

Seriously makes me miss my 2008 FA5. Fiji Blue is such a pretty color.

The HFP versions look much nicer than the two tone, and the Mugen GPs were the prettiest.

RE: Type R Hatch, the Si coupe & Sedan had 1 more HP and a better suspension setup (no rear torsion beam) than the FN2 type r hatch. the FA2 type R sedan is much better.

To some, OEM is a lot more appealing than aftermarket cheapies. Personally, I had repainted the OEM wheels on my Si sedan gunmetal.

My STI came with decent Enkei wheels. I mounted snow tires on those, and bought a set of Enkei Racing PF01 for my summer tires (about $300 each, so they aren't cheapies). I did similar with my MINI JCW. I used the OEM wheels for winter, and bought a set of O•Z wheels for summer.
