With two vehicles already (Dodge Ram & G), it's not feasable for us to own a third car. However, as content as I am with the G, my wife asked me what I would want if I decided to purchase a third car. Naturally I could WISH for a $300K exotic rocket, but she suggested something within the affordability range of the G.

I was quick to reply: a new Camaro SS. This reply was based solely on their looks, I've never taken the time to research reliability, etc. I just think they are a cool looking ride and would be so different to own and drive from the G.

So, I pose the same question to all you other G owners, what would your fantasy second or additional car be? Again, something within reason as a deviation from the G?

for some reason i always wanted the jeep Cherokee srt8

Similar price but without needing any practicality?

Maybe a Lotus Elise? It's almost in the same range (I guess not really), but damn fun to drive.

I like the Camaro too, but Chevy hasn't done enough to prove that their interiors are much better than the Civics and Sentras of the world.

i've been slowly looking at a fun toy once I get rid of the G. The G sits in the garage and I only drive 7 miles with it the past month I rather get rid of it at this point

That new Mustang Boss 302 looks pretty hot. I drove the 412 hp 2011 5.0 GT for a pretty long test drive a couple months ago and that thing is a blast, the 444 ponies on the Boss should really get you around town.

I'm still going w/ a CPO Audi S5 though for something in the Gs price range. I'm kinda guessing what a used S5 wouyld go for but $40-45k seems close.

Hmmm this is a hard one, there are a ton of choices.

I believe many people cross shop the luxury car segment before they come across the G.

I was for instance looking into BMW 335i and Audi A5 before I brought my G coupe. And was ultimately driven to the G by it's value and look.

There are also the Lexus IS350, Cadillac CTS, Acura TL(kinda).

within reasonable range (albeit out of my own range lol) - i say 2011 M3, 2011 C63/E63/CLS63, or 335is with JB3 toys!!!

I have wanted a GT-R since they first came to the states. A decent used one would be in the price range of a new G. Would also love to have a C6 Z06 except for the noted fit and finish issues. This would also have to be used to be in the same price range.

1.335i the new ones actually look pretty good
2. used m3

6. used corvette, that would be my 1st choice.
7. classic car
8. used benz s class is nice too.
The camaros are a good car from what ive heard, 0-60 in 4.9, but they drive like a boat.imo american cars suck for all around performance.

i too tested one a few months back. the best part - ford was dynoing every 3rd or 4th 'stang off the line, and apparently they were all hitting anywhere between 420-425 rwhp (give or take a few ponies). YIKES!

I guess it all depends on what you're looking for. Since you already have the G, I would personally rule out all cross-shopped cars. Around the ~50k mark I would either get a used GT-R (because I've always wanted one), or a tinker toy (aka something to spend your free time messing with). So maybe a RX-7 that you want to rebuild. Or maybe even a motorcycle, if you're into that sort of thing.

Maybe just mod both the Ram and the G if you don't really need a 3rd car, and invest the rest of the money.

WAIT ! WHERE THE HELL YOU FIND USED GT-R FOR THE PRICE OF A G ????

A GT-R for $40k ??????

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.
