I've always been a person who has enjoyed cars. I'm finding myself looking at new cars, and honestly am disappointed.

Nothing is jumping out as a car that I'd want. I may just go for an ISF but I wanted to see what are some of your next car ideas?

I am holding out for as long as I can for an Electric Vehicle that has a range of 600 miles plus a charge and has a self driving mode. The whole auto industry is changing significantly. FORD is building an all electric Mustang, F150, etc. Other Manufacturers will be doing the same thing (e.g. Porsche).

Tesla's are incredibly quick and fast. I have been watching the Tesla Racing Channel on youtube. Sweet Jesus the guy is running against 600-800 horsepower cars and smoking them. I think I heard him say he has 900ft/lbs of torque in the Tesla. 1/4 mile in under 11 seconds. 0-60 in like 3+ seconds. Just unbelievable the power from the electric motors. He is smoking Hellcats, Lambo's, Audi R8's, etc.


Maybe Lexus comes out with an all electric GS or IS in the next few years?

I'm in no position to make the jump from my 250 to an ISF or M3 just yet, but I may be considering a 2007-2008 Acura TL Type S.

While i do like tesla potential, the reliability aspect is what has kept me away.

Acura tl-s not bad idea. Ive been eyeing a g35/37 awd to keep the miles off and awd.

The only cars designs that have made me perk up has been the jag suv and thr infiniti q60 line

Aspect

Looking for: 2011 ISF because of all the updates, 3rd Gen IS350 F Sport AWD or else if I keep the 250 as a daily maybe a Mazda ND Miata Club Sport or Nismo 370z/G37x Coupe or IPL). A car that really caught my attention at the recent autoshow was the 2018 Kia Stinger GT. Speculative pricing sounds expensive at $50k USD for the top of the line version AWD Twin Turbo V6 with 365 hp. Haven't kept up with KIAs in the past years but I hope depreciation hits it hard when it comes time to shop for the next one. The Q50S Red Sport was also on the radar but the reviews have been very subpar for it, drive by wire, and open diff with 400hp ehh not sure.

Wife drives IS350 with sport pack, I got a little tired of my S2000 and wanted to buy 2011-12 IS350 F-Sport USB, also highly concidered 11-12 IS-F, ended up getting M235i and so far I like it.

Drove 3IS and didn't like it.

My recent considerations in order of likelihood of me owning one are :

*Focus RS
*Roush Stg 2 Mustang
*C7 Vette with Z51 pkg
*Mustang GT 350

I live pretty close to a ford dealership that has a roush package program for 40k. I find myself keep going back to it ever so often and become more and more tempted. Then I just shake my head and tell myself no!

Mikey, what car are you coming from? And gville , you feeling that american muscle? Dont become a typical mustang owner!! Jk

Isn't GT roughly around $30-31k with all discounts, so you are paying $9-10k for just supercharger and with stage 2 I think you lose powertrain warranty

I've been all lexus since i sold my NSX. Went from a 350 and currently in a 250, that's had just about every F-sport upgrade (minus brace) and front roll bar installed. But it's my DD for work, so I'm rather limited on mods, since I'm in sales.

I haven't looked into it in a while. from what I remember full factory warranty since installed by the ford dealership.

The GT's have def dropped in the past few months

Lexustom

Next? Waiting for the Lexus LC500.

I'm still enjoying no payments and my car just came out the shop with $5k in body work. It's pretty mint now. But I have my eye on a 3IS and RC350. I just can't get over that Lexus is still using the same engine from my 07 IS350 in their new cars.
