I love my GS but I'm looking to get something different, a coupe. Unfortunately I'm not into the looks of the RC and the A5 is a bit dated. Yesterday I got a chance to drive my buddy's M4. All I can say is it's been a while since I had that much fun in a car. Loud, insanely fast, lightning gear shifts, just another animal entirely compare to our GS. So hopefully in a couple months I can update you guys on what it's like owning an M4.

Whoever suggested the Ghibli probably never drove the car and is just going off of lease specials. This car is terrible, absolutely horendous, a flat out sht bucket !! dont be fooled by the Masarati name. Take one for a spin if you dont believe, the GS is 1000 times better than the Ghibli.
The new XF still looks a little too austere inside for me.
Haven't driven anything else new, but just an update. Helped a friend lease a 2015 GS F Sport and was talking to my guy who sold it to him, he ran some numbers for me. He would have been able to get me out of my GS into a 2015 Luxury for the same payment. That rolls a lot of negative equity from mine into the new one though, and obviously if I simply wait until I'm close to the end of mine that wouldn't be an issue.
He quoted me on an LS, and it looks like I just might be able to get one MSRP's around $80k for between $850-900 a month. Again I'd have to wait until mine is closer to the end. Gives hope that might be an option.
Search goes on!

So Steve, what's your heart telling you? What do you just really want? (That's reasonably within your budget)
It sounds like you are digging the LS. Would you lease a new one? Or go with a more loaded used? I'm personally not an LS fan unless they're ghetto with rims but that wouldn't fit me so I've just avoided them, don't know much about them.
Have you considered the Acura RLX?

What I really would want is an LS. Its just a question of cost vs reward. I likely wouldn't want a used one, I'd lease a new one.

I agree, we'll see if that's still doable 7 months from now lol
Not worried about the new LS. It'll be way too expensive for me lol

No F Sport
This would be it:
To be clear though, I still intend to drive a bunch of cars and post thoughts here! I have not made up my mind.

WOW.... this is fantastic! It's my dream that might come true in 5 years based on my plan. Me and my friend agreed to do european delivery together. You are going to have a lot of excitement getting your M4 right from the factory and basically visiting/driving in Europe for free if planned everything right way
