i still say you test drive a trailblazer SS.

has active fuel management... shuts off 4 cylinders while idling/coasting... so its not HORRIBLE

Have you looked into Jeep or Dodge? I would consider one of those, especially with the $2.99 a gallon deal they have with them.

Definitely don't buy a Chrysler vehicle. Also, there are some serious exclusions to that $2.99 gas thing, according to MSN, they already have a few lawsuits against them about that offer.

When I went in to the Infiniti dealer the guy was GREAT. talking with me about the G37 etc.. he also handed me a article Motor Trend did between the G37 and the BMW 335i

From the article.

Motor Trend on the G37

"More Muscle and technology deliver BMW brilliance on a budget."

The 335

"Still a sublime bucks-up dance partner, but can she keep her cool."

So, now I'm wanting a sport sedan or coupe after going through my mind manual ****** of course.

v6 accord coupe ftw. 08 body styles are pretty nice and you can get them relatively cheap. about 26 with the nav leather etc.

i would get the 08 chevy malibu, i almost bought one...they're good on gas and a loaded one with every option is only $29000

I personally don't like the new accords after seeing one on the road the other day. Not feeling the lines on it all.

So don't go over 50k huh?

Shit, I would be hear all night long, lol!

I was looking at the Ridgeline, but I want something with a bit of power and handling is VITAL to me when owning a car, something that hugs the road. I plan on spending this week test driving cars that I have on my list.
Choices so far:

2008 Honda Ridgeline

2008 Honda Accord

2008 Nissan Altima

2008 Nissan Pathfinder

My budget is under 50k I plan on keeping this car for a LONG time please post some vehicle suggestions, what you think of my choices so far etc. If you just bought a new car tell me what you got and how you like it.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Intrepid ... Ridgeline ... Pathfinder ... ?
And you say HANDLING is VITAL ... ?

Honda does not make a truck or suv, they just make cars (kinda like driving a elcamino honda).

If you want a gas truck go with toyota

I just got an 08 Maxima at the end of April for as much as the 4cyl Altima and less than the Accord and Camrys.

Check your local Nissan dealer to see if they still are running the specials. They are coming out with a new 09 body style so are really eager to clear all of their leftovers.
