This isn't about brand name as much as what kind. I've been trying to decide if I should be conservative, flashy, or what. I can think of reasons to get each of these types, but I need some opinions about which I should go for.

You don't live far from my parents(Mentone,AL) It gets damn hot there in the summer and damn cold in the winter. You will use the convertible from March-Oct/Nov. I love verts, but they are not practical for me. Too much flex in the body even with sub-frames and a matrix cross brace. Ah, anyways... if you get the SUV I hope it comes with Firestone tires. Just kidding, but don't be that guy. There are too many SUVs as it is. Are you actually going to go off-roading? The sedan would be nice, but we need to know a price range and what amenities you want.

pretty much no matter what, you cant go wrong with a sports sedan...there are different ones that fit each price range, and they can still be fun

personally though, i like this little roadster Mullen M-11

well one easy point to make sure of for the Convertable, if you don't have a Garage for it I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole.

For that kind of money I would get a Lotus Elise 190.

I'm not driving the big brown truck.

Oh wait, thats Dale Jarrett :)

I voted Sedan, really anything but an SUV is a good choice.

Well, besides the kind of questionable body styling on that Mullen it looks like it would be a VERY fun car to drive. 1.08 lateral acceleration and a 0-60 time of about 5 seconds, all with 30 mpg, lol. Very respectable and the price is not bad for that kind of performance.

What is your purpose for having a car?

Do you want a commuter, a flashy toy, or a dick extension?

Commuter: Civic, Corolla, Sentra or Jetta.

Flashy toy: Any convertible especially the Z8 or 360 Modena.

Dick extension: 550 Maranello, V12 Vanquish, Diablo, or Viper.
