SUV: Tahoe - seats 5 in comfort but GM recognizes with this model that I don't need to transport a kindergarten class on a daily basis. If you ever need to work on it you can practically stand in the engine bay.
Pickup: GM diesel
Minivan: I'd rather stick my dick in an oven.
Sport Coupe: M3 - and if you disagree you're wrong
luxury Sedan: Old style BMW 7 series (E38 chassis)
Convertible: Mazda Miata - brilliant execution of a concept
Compact: Mazda 3 - actually handles well and doesn't look like a dust buster
Mid Sized mid priced sedan: Camry - I don't like any cars in this class so it might as well be reliable! I guess it depends on what we mean by mid priced though.

My favorites, if I was to walk in with a blank check to a car dealer:
Sports Car: 2005/6 Pontiac GTO
Small Car: Mini Cooper S
The only cars I'd trade my Grand Prix in on...
Now if I had a really big blank check, there were at least a few cars I would have gone after at this year's Barrett-Jackson auto auction in Scottsdale:
my friends dad is a car dealer and imports American cars. He has a Corvette, an Escalade, and also some other cars. They change them frequently, but I got to try the Escalade, and I thought it was awesome. Especially in black with tinted windows, it looks like an FBI car

That's cool. The Corvette is an awesome sports car. The Escalade is an embarrassment. Shame on General Motors for making such garish trash.
If you want an American mobster, VIP car, go for a black Lincoln Town Car.

That one's nice too if you like that kind of suspension. I have noticed that American cars are generally much softer in the suspension than European cars

...and that is what one should look for in a practical everyday driver/luxury car. German cars are great if you're driving around cones all day. Daily traffic, potholes, passing people up quick, nothing beats an American V8.

European cars, especially German cars, are designed for European roads. That means either driving on the Autobahn in excess of 120 MPH, or driving at small roads. Therefore suspension is harder.
It really depends on what you want, but if you only drive tons of miles on highways, a softer suspension might make sense, even though I never found the suspension of German cars to be too hard.
Are you joking? Please send me some of that Moroccan if you think those are SUVs.

44 N1120A: Well, my two favorite cars are from the 1990s, so I don't think it needs to be from the 2006 model year.
45 APFPilot1985: thats my choice, She rules my life for the next 4 years but its ok.... Ill race for slips
46 N1120A: Too bad that thing is a saccarin, watered down version of the Holden Manero and will have its a$$ handed to it by any number of cars that cost $15K l
47 APFPilot1985: what are you smoking? What cars that cost 15K less and dont have another 15k invested in them. As for watered down, the GTO had the LS2 first.
49 APFPilot1985: Straight up WRX? No way in hell. STi however would be a drivers race but 7 out of 10 would go to GTO (i've run many of them, stock to stock.) as far
50 N1120A: Subaru WRX base: 0-60 5.2 seconds Pontiac GTO: 0-60 5.3 seconds Subaru WRX base price: $25,000 Pontiac GTO base price: $33,290 + $695 for Manual Tran
51 APFPilot1985: BS back up your statements with sources sources... the base WRX does not do 0-60 in 5.2 and the 05 GTO does it in under 5 http://www.albeedigital.com
53 APFPilot1985: that GTO you have there is the 04, I have an 05 6.0L as opposed to 5.7 and 400Hp instead of 350HP, as you were talking about my car, I win.
54 N1120A: No you lose at the pump, at the bank and on quality.
55 APFPilot1985: Alright I fail to see how I lose on quality, ask anyone who has compared the two on fit and finish or just look here:http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com
56 JetsGo: When and where? Seriously though, if everything under your hood is stock, you really dont stand a chance. I've eaten up GTO's of your kind, Corvettes
57 JetsGo: While I agree with you there, i still fail to see the need for a vehicle to provide both speed and off road capability. The only real benifit is that
58 APFPilot1985: You've beaten 6.0 Gto's based on what I'm reading I find that hard to believe. 425 HP a lot more weight and similar 1/4 and 0-60 times. Not to mentio
59 JetsGo: I'm not sure about the 6.0's but I know the 5.7's for sure. Therefore you would be correct in saying it would be close. But hey who cares, we are rea
