The Challenger is a nice car, but I can't do Dodge. The Stang is a coupe/two door and I can't do Ford either.

I've been thinking about a new car. I've narrowed it down to two completely different cars. The Buick LaCrosse and the Camaro. I hear there will be a new 2012 Camaro that is a monster at almost 600 hp.

Great cars! I always wanted the '70 - '73 'Cuda. Been looking and looking and looking for the past 2 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 2011 Challenger SRT8 392

The new Camaro will cost some $50K+

I came close to that when they were out a few months ago as a limited-edition.

I'm real happy with my Mustang. I may need to do something about the shocks though. and the original tires are junk

But I do like the looks of the Challengers. If I could find a place to put it, I'd probably own one.
Maybe I can talk my wife into buying one, instead of that danged Fiat uno she's jonesing for :banghead:

This entire thread is a clear-demonstration of why I am trying to restrain myself from changing cars again...

About once ever 10 years or so I'll look around and count all the gasoline-driven "things" I have to maintain, and decide to simplify my life. It's that time.
I'm really getting tired of my daily-driver Z3, and my F350 is getting a bit long in the tooth, so I'm about to unload both.
And the RX7 race car looks like it has found a new home.
I think when the dust settles I'll go shopping.

I've owned GM products most of my life, as has my family.

But thanks to the auto bailouts, if I ever buy a new car again, my business will be going to Ford.

I've thought about that for the very same reason. I'm not completely loyal to GM. I currently drive a Titan and had a Frontier before that. I even considered the Maxima before the Buick and Camaro. The Maxima is not completely out of the running, but it is lagging. BTW, my Titan was built in Tennessee.
