What do I get after the MS6?

[Smus]

If you need to pick up clients a coupe is a no-no. As for mercedes being overpriced pieces of crap...your beloved bmw and audi are truly no better in terms of price or attitude. I've

If you want something from the far east, try hyundais new genesis sedan. Looks good, competes with lexus, acura, etc. But for nearly half the tag.

Another thing, I don't know your business, but if you're talking to clients to pick meet them or pick them up, the boy-racer look could be a death-sentence. Personally, if I was supposed to listen to some sales pitch by a guy who shows up in a modified WRX...well they wouldn't have the credibility in my mind as someone who did show up in a legacy or even a new malibu. Mid-sized sedan = serious, sport compact = childlike. That's my opinion, take it with a grain of salt.

your statement is full of the truth. a business minded person wants some one that thinks like them. if they are the serious type, then showing up in a sport compact car then they might think you dont have the mindset that they have.

365hp, potential for more, and lots of room to boot. Pricetag is a bit high though.

SHO is kind of a let down for me.
yea its fast but it weighs soooo much.
Ford Fusion SHO would be cool but not so much with the boat ass taurus

as for what car. hmmm
STI/EVO is what id look into getting. AWD. can hold alot of power on a stock block. and are quick stock.

 

[OJ Bartley]

This is a hard car to move on from, because there is really nothing in the market like it. Replacement cars either don't have enough doors, don't have AWD, don't have enough power, are too small/young or are too heavy/ugly.

I honestly don't know what I would look at if I were thinking about replacing mine.

 

[Tungsten6]

Volvo s60r?

 

[snooky]

Made a choice.... 2011 Audi A4 s-line, 2.0T QUATTRO. the power is gonna be a lot slower than my MS6, but I figured I should get the 2.0T rather than the 3.2, i figure I could mod the turbo easier... Im gonna really miss my MS6 it is truly a great car and when I compare specs between the two cars the Mazda beats it by a long shot....

 

[snooky]

but fortunately for you guys Im gonna have a lot of things to sell as a part out... Im getting the new car at the end of June, soo i'll keep you all posted..

 

[Tungsten6]

hmmm what mods you got? i want eyelids.

Hahaha!

well off the top of my head:

-SU Test Pipe
-Fujita CAI 5k only with a brand new hydro shield
-Turbo XS BOV VTA
-Sprint Booster DBW
-Next Mod Badge-less Grill
-VG Shark Antenna
-etc...

and yes Eyelids lol

To be honest Im trying to sell the car, but if I don't then I'll part out all the mods...

 

[Evolved]

Congrats on the Audi! I love how those A4 S-line's look. You'll have to post pictures once you pick it up.

+1, i luv audi. always have. simply cant afford upkeep. insurance would actually be lower from my MS6 though!! Haha.

Grats!!! someday, ill have an audi DD, and keep a mazda as a project/track/wknd car.

With the audi, get it chipped. If you do a stage one chip you will get more power and better gas mileage and less turbo lag. Best mod I have ever done to any car I have ever owned.

I went out and drove both the Evo X and a 335 today, and I would definitely say, the 335 is a great step up from the MS6. You can get a CPO from BMW, which is the best suggestion for it IMO, which includes all the maint. for 72mo/100k miles from date of original purchase, and it's got power on tap, smooth delivery, and the luxury as well. Very easy to drive, you can get better seats, auto trans. and AWD if you want it, and it will be more than adequate in a replacement vehicle.

The Evo on the other hand, is not a step up, but a step back. Too much track blood in it to make it a comfortable DD IMO.

 

[wannabe]

I just built a 335xi online, it was over $48,000 once you add in all the features that I have that I'm used to (key in the pocket, heated seats, etc) thats a BIG step up.

You can pick up one used for around $30K. Much more reasonable, and you don't take the huge hit in depreciation.

I loved my Evo VIII but I like the MS6 better. The Evo didn't have cruise control, leather/heated seats, sunroof, auto up/down windows or anything like that. Not to mention that if I rolled over a nickel on the street I spilled hot coffee all over the place. However, it was a BLAST to drive. I will own another one someday....just not as a DD.

Legacy Spec B, if you can find someone willing to part with it.

 

[Flightmedic]

I would vote for the Infinity g37. Nice throaty growl from the exhaust, really nice interior, awd, 0-60 in 5.2, quarter mile in mid 13's, all this and it would impress any client you pick up.
