i just saw the answer on the streets of philly:

v8 versions can be had under 30K easily. v12 if you're lucky.

Sleepy240 · 04-29-2009, 04:27 PM

I would suggest one of these...

Buick Lucerne

Northstar V-8, Heated/Cooled Seats, Navigation, and a slick interior IMO

Acura TL

Personally my favorite Acura offering

Mercedes-Benz C Class

Sadly it seems to be you really want some type of performance oriented car, when that SHOULDN'T be your goal. I can tell you if my company allotted me 600$ a month I would be riding in style...

best looking 4 dr car ever

MADE · 04-29-2009, 05:34 PM

I'd go with an M35, 45 and something german. Depending on the job/clients image is everything.

The hydundai is nice though

YoungGun · 04-29-2009, 07:00 PM

C300!

Those things look sharp!

With you hauling clients, you probably shouldn't consider anything with a manual tranny either.

God damn, it's amazing how much more inviting the interior of that Buick is than the interiors of the Acura and Benz.

really? i thought the Acura actually looked the nicest of the 3

unlegendary · 04-29-2009, 09:39 PM

What kind of job is this?

Why not market yourself and get the most luxurious thing you can get? You said your allotted car allowance is five years right? So you're only allowed 36,000. Hmm...
BMW 3-7 Series or M Series
Mercedes CLS to ---
Lexus GS, IS Series
You said you lived in the snow but the new RWD cars nowadays are pretty cool, just don't drive like a moron but an Audi is also in your budget. Most of the cars listed here can also be used on the track.

MunsonAuto · 04-29-2009, 09:44 PM

One of the new buicks, i think the high end LaCrosse can be had with a LSx V8 in it..i think...
And I agree with ryguy, the interior of that Buick looks A LOT more comfortable to me than the others did *shrug*.

Akiros · 04-30-2009, 04:07 PM

taking in the corporate side of things, I would say just go with a c300 because of the way it will set with clients that you pick up, and trade it in when you are done with the 5 year part for something that you want, or a nicer company car. Or get something cheaper like a TSX and pocket the rest and do the above statement. Shit has to be comfy for the clients! I mean, the company IS paying for it, haha.

just my .02.

ESmorz · 04-30-2009, 04:27 PM

Volkswagen CC.

When I was getting my Subie the dealership was Volkswagen/Subaru and while I would be waiting I test drove and fell in love with the CC. I think it looks great, the interior is awesome, especially the seats. It's a damn fine car for the money, and you could save your company a little $$.

silviaguy240 · 04-30-2009, 08:34 PM

CC is mad nice.

You're thinking about the Lincoln LS.

Akiros · 05-02-2009, 08:25 PM

Also, I take back my comment about the c300.

g37 sport with a 6MT hands down.

blackflag_Rms13 · 05-03-2009, 01:18 AM
