What would you replace your Speed 6 with?

[desertmike680]

I love my speed 6, but at 49k I'm already starting to think about what my next car would be. Right now, I'm reallly liking the Hyundai Genesis coupe 3.8 track model with navigation. The car has gotten amazing reviews and even sounds better then its rival, the g37. Other then the Hyundai, I have given a little thought to the 2010 speed 3, but I'm totally sold on the Genesis coupe. Just a thought though. What do you guys think your next vehicle would be after the speed 6?

Oh yeah, the 2011 WRX looks bad ass too. But I'm so tired of hearing those boxer engines with exhaust....

I am planning to change cars in 3 years, when the MS6 is paid off. At that point, if my sons are both moved out and no longer using the Grand Cherokee, I'll make that my winter vehicle and end up in one of the following:

1. Used 2012 Mustang GT (lease return, if poss)
2. Used 2011-12 STi
3. Used Evo X
4. Used 2012 Gen Coupe 5.0 (should be coming off leases then)
5. Used Corvette Z06

Something along those lines. Probably the Stang, Gen Coupe, or Vette. Something RWD to counter the AWD of the Jeep.

1. 05 and up Audi TT
2. 08 and up WRX/sti
3. 07 And up Rx8
4. S2000 maybe
5. Evo maybe
6. New Ford SHO with ecoboost V6
7. G37 cupe or 370z coupe

Hmm several others I cant think of right now

 

[amillman2]

2011 STI 4 door.

or RWD cars.
2011 stang 5.0
2011 camaro SS
2011 Challanger srt8

most likely the STI tho.. ive looked into several times even after owning the MS6

 

[_MSprotegy]

2011 5.0
2011 Sierra Denali
C6 vette/z06
Evo 9

 

[amillman2]

F-650
Ram srt 10
jeep srt 8
sierra 3500..

yea.. if i get a truck.. im getting a TRUCK lol... besides the jeep.

 

[Monstar]

We already have one WRX as well as the Speed6...But I think another would be a good replacement. Only thing is...I LOVE the ride and comfort of my Speed, and hate my WRX seats. So....Hum. The Evo idea popped up too, the Wife loves the new X but I'm indifferent.
Maybe an RS4 or 5. *shrug*

 

[Nachtsturm]

Something German.

Narrowed down to afew options.

1. Mercedes Benz C63 AMG
2. 2010 S4
3. 135i

Ideally if prices are resonable by then, a 997 C4S (mj)

 

[Evolved]

Within a reasonable budget at the moment:

1. E36 BMW M3
2. E46 BMW M3
3. 2011 WRX
4. 2007 WRX Sti Limited
5. Evolution VIII, IX, or X


Down the road a few years.....

1. E90/E92 BMW M3
2. E60 BMW M5
3. Lexus IS-F
4. Nissan GT-R

 

[thewheelman]

I'm looking at either a E46 330i ZHP sedan, or a first gen CTS-V. If I keep this car, I'll start looking for a well cared for E36 M3 sedan.

 

[chuyler1]

My next car will
1) be RWD or AWD
2) have telescoping/tilt steering wheel
3) have enough leg room for a 6'3" adult
4) pretty much set on a 2-door convertible

Right now the only car that catches my eye is the new Camaro. If it comes out in a folding hard top I'm all over it. sure, some will say it is big...well guess what, I'm 6'3" and I ain't gonna fit in a Miata or S2000.

I'd love to stay with the Mazda family but the new 6 and 3 are fuggly, I don't fit in the Miata, and the RX-8 just isn't my style.

 

[Sinister_MS6]

Not really interested in trading in the MS6 at all. MS6 has been paid off for the last 2 1/2 years. Had the car paid off at around 30K miles. MS6 has now around 58+K miles and still wouldn't trade it in for Anything. But if i had to and make a choice these would be my choices on another car:

2009 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Spec B

2008 Acura TL Type S

2010 Audi RS4

2010 BMW M6

 

[zinger002]

e30 m3 in white
94 supra in black
2003 svt cobra in blue

 

[Tungsten6]

2009 CWP mazdaspeed 3
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Mazdaspeed miata
PHRT Miata
Subaru wrx sti (07 body)
Evo x
Ford focus rs (if it ever gets here)

Probably a s*** load more that arent even possible that im not going to list

 

[MR_X]

As soon as my MS6 gets picked up by its new owner next week, I'll be shopping for my 4th FD.

 

[monsoon725]

Ill be finishing my fellowship when the speed6 is paid off.

Then its either:

GTR
E63
GT3

CANNNOOTTT wait. Ill still keep the 6 as a DD though.

 

[buttons]

After my speed 6 is paid off ill be looking for a 2010+ speed 3 in that incedescent(sp?) blue or a 2011+ mustang gt

Id lean pretty heavy towards the mustang if it were for me, but right now my wife and I share a car so then we would be leaning towards a wagon. I love WRX's but they hold resale value to well. I dont need AWD since im moving south.

 

[desertmike680]

Thats cool. Yeah I'm finally going to get my Speed 6 aligned today, at 48k. My pics again would be:

1. 2010 or 2011 Genesis coupe 3.8
2. 2011 WRX
3. 2011 Altima coupe (saw one yesterday, its bad ass)
4. ...I use to really desire the camero, but not anymore. Too many on the road.

HAHAHAHA I swear the camaro has become the new civic... I see camaros everywhere!!!! It gets annoying sometimes! Heres my list...

1. 2009-10 370Z
2. 2010-11 Mustang GT500
3. 2010-11 Nissan Maxima
4. Or maybe a Evo 8-9... Ive just had bad luck with finding one/I just have bad luck with Mitsubishi.

I think the only truck Id want is the Jeep SRT8...thing is nasty!

 

[tunersteve]

Wow, a lot of these seem to be unreasonable. It'd be nice to shell out $60-70k on a car to replace the MS6, but most of us won't.

I'd say the logical steps up would be:

-2011+ Mustang GT
-335i/Xi with sport packages
-S4
-Taurus SHO/MKS EcoBoost

Most of those cars can be found for around $40k with similar options to the MS6. Some used, some new.

I swear this was already a thread...
