Help me pick a new DD!!

Waiting for used prices to come down to reality, then i will be daily driving one of these...



...minus the funky vinyl graphics on her rear end, of course

You're not, John. I, too, much preferred the Crossfire to the SLK.

i don't want to live on this planet anymore. fake chrome accents, body ribs everywhere, and you prefer it?

next thing i know, you'll be telling me that bomex body kits look better than OEM stealth r/t.

p.s.
one sold well enough to get this as a successor:



the other one? can't shake the stigma of what it was intended to replace, and rightfully died off.

I think they are both grotesquely ugly.

I drove a BRZ a month or so ago. I think it looks great, handles like a dream, plenty of room and the interior was top notch. I really liked everything about the car except one thing. it's slow. very slow. I currently drive a 02 GS430 by no means a rocket ship but it'll move. that being said the fear of committing to a car payment was the only thing keeping me from buying it. 5 year warranty and 2 year(iirc) free maintaince plan make owning a brand new car much easier to swallow. if you like it all I'd get it. new car with a warranty can't be beat.

but I really like the S5. hands down one of my favorite attainable cars around. I like everything about it. I'd get one of those is maintance and repairs isn't an issue.

I'm not crazy about either one (of that era). The new SLK's are much better looking. If I were to buy a car in that class it would probably be the Boxster, and still then it would have to be a smokin' deal.

the boxster and bmw z's are very similar in ride. the slk is much more refined and comfy, imho. i tend to lean towards cush for daily use.

I don't view any of those cars as DD. They're not at all "practical". Those are weekend cars.

They claim the power matches the car very well, like more power would make the car less fun. I still want one. I'll wait till the warrantee runs out and buy one used. Then slap a turbo kit on it.
