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.
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.

IMO the seats are absolute rubbish, and for how insanely huge the car is, there is not enough space in the back seat...
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.
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"!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.

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.
Maybe I'm dense. I don't get the meaning of that statement.
OEM+ is improving upon the OEM, using other Original Equipment parts, off other cars etc. Merc alloys on VWs etc.
thanks! I've always loved infiniti white.. I also think that audi and BMW have a very nice looking white color.
How is it? My dad told me I could trade my 2001 Avalon for one. I love the avalon but having to pay premium gas prices is killing me.
This is my car “subaru Impreza wrx sti”. I love to take long ride with my car because I really love to enjoy my holidays with long rides.

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 OZ wheels for summer.
I was about to say, I always preferred oz or speed line alloys to OEM. Alfa's pepper pot alloys are great, but only belong on alfas...
I can't speak for 06-08 but the stockies on my 09 FA5 as heavy as hell. I like the look of them but I'd love to see how the car drives w/ a set of Enkei rpf1
