Yeah, but they are really, really loud… I would go with Borla too.

The new Mustang makes me want a muscle car again. It’s absolutely gorgeous.

I have a '13 and I love it. But I sure would like the independant rear suspension…

In black, so much want. I see one almost every day on the highway. I once successfully managed to antagonize him into racing me (I just wanted to see him punch it) and holy crap did that thing ever take off.
American auto! There’s really no reason now to buy a foreign car. I work for Ford right now and will soon be working for GM 
I really am torn as to what to buy for my first car.

Saw this in person on Saturday at the NY car show. I wish I didn’t have to leave without it.

You’re very right. I’ll probably get something cheap like a Focus and buy in cash. Although I’m 24 and it’s the current trend, there’s no use in getting a lease that I can only afford month to month.
But it’s tempting…
there are more in the lobby

x2 on what Aggv said.
When you have the resources to keep a nice car nice, that’s the appropriate time to get a nicer car. My guess is you don’t have that yet.
I’d look at the used car market too. No need to buy new, as tempting as that might be. There are plenty of very nice, barely driven used cars out there.
It also gives you the chance to “try out” a particular style of car to see if it fits your lifestyle. Storage space, seating and ride comfort are also important considerations. E.g., I wouldn’t want to take 3+ hour road trips every other weekend visiting friends in a Corvette.

I love nice cars, but there is something to be said for having a daily you can beat the shit out of and not feel bad about. I once had a beat up Bronco II I bought at auction for $1200 bucks that I literally put zero maintenance dollars into–not even an oil change–and felt no remorse whatsoever when I banged into things. It was very liberating. When it finally died, I sold it for scrap and the junker paid me $1500 cash for it and came and picked it up.

Stunning. I would take it over a Porsche Turbo on looks alone.

Well, cars are meant to be driven. But yes, there is something about keeping a nice car nice. It took 24 years before I had a ‘nice’ car. I had a couple of pretty cool little cars, but they were durable and expendable. The nice car is by far the most fun though.

I would not buy new. People turn in nice cars all the time with low miles and 20% under original sticker. You can always get in something better used than new.
This is especially true for Porsche’s. All the little add-ons they charge $10 Gs for add up to very little on resale.
I am finally at a stage in life where performance can be my key determinant on what car I get. That’s nice feeling, to bad you have to get old.

I’ll definitely buy new, as employee discounts make it the same price as a 1 year old car. I’m thinking the 2015 Focus because some of the ecoboost options and the Fusion styling. I read that the average millionaire spends $21k on a car, so that puts my Corvette and Mustang temptations in perspective. Plus a rwd car is horrible in snow

It sometimes makes sense to buy new especially if you’re going to finance it.
You don’t get rich buying expensive cars. That’s actually the beauty with motorcycles. For $15k you can get a bike that will beat everything but the most powerful supercars.
