Second/Next Choice after the MS6

[Karma_hunden]

OK, so..if the MS6 didnt exist, what car would you have bought instead? Me...probably a Mustang GT 06 since it has the sme power and price range.

Now, another question. When it is time for you to sell/trade in your MS6...what car will you get? (noting that the MS6 is no longer in production)

To me, i dont know...i wouldve to see the new generation, but im guessing this would happen around 08-09 since i roll alot over here...gotta sell it before it wears out ya know? hehe. If thats the case, my options would be: Evo X, STi, Mustang GT, New Dodge CHallenger (spring 08), New Camaro (if its 2009), or the Pointiac G8.

i was seriously looking for the Dodge Avenger R/T to come out...never got a chance to drive one.
i was also considering an MS3, and a 6s Hatch.

next car, who knows. thats at least 6-10 years down the line

I actually stumbled onto the MS6. I was driving a Toyota MR2 Spyder, and my wife and I agreed that we should look into getting a more family-oriented car (we're trying to have a baby). I was originally looking to replace the Spyder with either a 2000-2001 BMW 540i sport, a 2004-up Maxima, or an Audi A6 2.7t. When I started seeing the incentives offered for the leftover 2006 MS6 cars, I couldn't get past the fact that the MS6 offered performance equal to or greater than the other cars, it was in most cases cheaper, and it came with a warranty. Needless to say, I love this car.

when i wasshopping for my new car it was btwn, the rx-8 and the MS6. when my lease is up i wasa thinking gowing more towards the Audi/ BMW route, just because the ms6 is my crazy young sports car, and after ill go more luxury. but my buddy just got the jeep srt-8, and i am in love! its crazy on gaz but its a MOnster.

i also love the Evo X but in Canada we cant get it

 

[Karma_hunden]

they dont sell evos in canada right? i heard something like that...the srt-8 is just an suv designed to show american potential on our muscle car skills applied to sports utility vehicles...but if you look at it, its kind of senseless to have that on a SUV...i might be ignorant on this subject but i dont think an srt-8 will do well on offroads...it looks dangerous...too much power on a SUV!! unless it was kind of lowered like the murano, cayenne, infiniti, etc. fast suv + suv handling = dipshit. tq is what matters.

i thought the same thing, "way tooo much power for a sport ut, but i looked it up on utube and this guy drives one up a mountain its sooo cool. i prob wouldnt get it, too expees, plus the gas would be a killer on my wallet hehe

As much as I hate pontiacs, I'd actually give it a shot. It sounds pretty promising, so I'll say maybe to the G8.

pontiac got shot with the suck gun right in the face.

they look like poop and if you have a pulse then they will give you financing for one. Why do you think every drug dealin dork has a GTP.

 

[Karma_hunden]

lol, but did you see the new g8?

www.pontiac.com/g8 love the wheels and the whole look except the hood scoops kinda looks like last second sciossor mades. "We need to make this car look more sportier, like the child of a g6 & a GTO!! quick smith cut hood scoops!!"

 

[Newf]

pontiac. rofl. Good luck with the resale, mechanical issues, electronic issues, and just plane it sucks issues.

I thought long and hard about what other cars I'd get right now, the legacy GT is the only thing that comes to mind but only if
i could get a sweet deal on it because otherwise its too $$$ for what it is

 

[kalte]

Would have gotten a legacy GT too but it was $$$.

What caught my attention was my housemate's mazda 6...love the cabin space (cause i travel long distance almost every weekends) and the MS6 was right there at the dealer when i went (they gave me a deal i could not resist)

 

[Karma_hunden]

yah, people tell me that...pontiac doesnt resale good...but that car is tempting.

I dont know what most people have with the legacy gt...i honestly dislike that car....rims is about as close as it gets to looking pretty...an STi is pretty in its own way, in the eyes of the car enthusiast...to regular people is just a ricey corolla (which is an ignorant view but that how they view it)....the MS6 has a hood scoop disguised on the mazda emblem...why not over the hood like a subie or an srt4? because its a lexury sports sedan. Subaru just has hte reputation for being sporty so they have to put a scoop on top of the hood on everything....the sti/wrx pulls it off for being race-looking, but not the legacy...wtf over?

i'll probably going to go with the Evo X....that car is plain S-I-C-K!!!...but i gotta save a bit cuz i know mitsu is probably going to put that price tag up there.

i dont know about, mechanics, or electrical, or re-sale... but i do know that untill i saw this car i hated pontiac. you guys gotta admit this is one sexy, mean looking car + 356HP!!!!!!!!!!!! the rims remind me of a mix of our ms6 rims and the SER spec v altima..

 

[Karma_hunden]

356hp? where did you get that number? lol...you mean 362hp?

still nice hehe, i think they shouldve worked on the nose a bit...on the hood scoops and the lower grill, but overall, the front shot makes it look like an evo...the back shot is like a m3 and a gto...and a g6 all together. I love the interior, specially the steering wheel and gauges. But the Evo x has some nice stuff too, i guess it will be about the real acceleration numbers (0-60 and 1/4), handling, reliability, PRICE and overall...whose a better bang 4 da buck...only one way to find out...and that is...
























...wait till 2008...actually, 2009...thats when all the major bugs have been reported :S

 

[RevLimitLaunch]

if i could do it all over i probably would've just bought an old colt or mirage and swapped a 4g63 into it like my original plans were...but me and the lady were at mazda dropping her car off and i browsed the showroom and BAM struck a deal drove away lol.

 

[Afroman]

I was honeslty very close to getting a Speed3. It was just not my kind of car I guess.

Now what would I get instead of the Speed6.... I couldnt even guess. For the price I paid for the Speed6 and all the bells and whistles nothing compares.

EVO's and Sti's are awesome but they are still at 30 grand. Way beyond what I wanted to spend.

So as of now... no car other than the Speed6 ehhe. I would love to have a project car to fool around with. Something that I could mod and if I couldnt drive it for a week or two it wouldnt be life or death.
