I could live with an Acura TL. I've driven a friends and it a fun car with a beautiful interior. And staying in the Nissan family... a 370Z wouldn't hurt my feelings either.

If I had a 2nd car it would be something big and practical like a Jeep or Ford Explorer type of car.

If I got a fun car it'd probably be a used M3.

An AP2 S2000. I know these can be had for much cheaper than a new G, but it's a blast to drive and would be a nice warm weather/autox car for the weekends. I think I would keep it mainly stock since the factory already has a nice balance of performance/handling, maybe add on the hard top roof.

Either that or a 1995 Porsche 911 (993-series - last of the air cooled), I just love the body style and the prices are a lot better than before.

I think my next car would be the big brother of the G, the M56S.

As I get older I want bigger more luxurious/baller cars, I'm probably going to be into the Bentleys and Maybachs if I make it to 80.

Of course for a weekend track car I wouldn't mind the Nismo Z

I am heading straight for the Infiniti M56 (or whatever the model is) in 2 more years...or maybe a BMW M series...but bang for the buck, it's hard to beat an Infiniti

Instead of getting a new car. Why dont you you just give sam@gtm a call and add some more horses under that hood!

Just my 2 cents!

I would have to go with a used Porsche Cayman S. I was looking at these before my G, but there is no fitting a child seat in that bad boy!! I was also looking at used M3's and 335i's. Those would be my top 3. A used Audi RS4 is one that I wouldn't mind having either if I could find one at a steal

That car is $89k new (this year). The CHEAPEST Used GT-R you can find across the entire country is $60k. That is with 30k mileage and they don't get more than that.

Used Nissan GT-R Cars For Sale - Yahoo! Autos
Yeah, I hear you but why quibble about a measly $20k. BTW, here is one for under $60K

2009 Nissan GT-R
$59,950
29,474 mi.
Silver, 2 door, AWD, Coupe, AUTO 6SPD, 3.8L V6, Stock# 250813.
Dealer: Hanna Imports

And that is just his asking price

Yep, like most people, my choice would be a used M3.

Another option would be a turbo-ed RSX-S . That thing is light, quick and fun.

If I had my two daily drivers already, and one of which was a truck, it would definitely be something different. Honestly, I have always wanted an Acura NSX. This would satisfy a lot of things: 2 seater sports car, exotic, weekend master, fun toy, and tinker car. Turbo the crap out of it, modify it to keep it current, and just enjoy it. All for a very moderate price because of its age. I keep wanting to buy one of these, but just never makes sense for what I need. Thus...would be a perfect 3rd car for my garage.

Really?? New G is $45k... Where can you find a used GTR let alone a "decent" used GTR for that price?
