If I was to move to a new car from the Z at this moment, it'd only be for the new vette (unless yuur budget is getting close to 100k or up)

I have budgeted 20-25k...
My choices are limited to:
Chrysler/Dodge
Chevrolet/Buick/Cadillac/Oldsmobile
Ford/Lincoln(/Merc?)
Toyota
Edit: and Honda
choices are limited to: (My responses are in bold)
Chrysler/Dodge -- Not much in this price range at Chrysler/Dodge. High depreciation here also.
Chevrolet/Buick/Cadillac/Oldsmobile - Oldsmobile is long gone. I guess a V6 Camaro would fit your budget.
Ford/Lincoln(/Merc?) Mercury is also gone. V6 mustang I think you would like! Quite fast.
Toyota - My grandparents shop for Toyota's. Not much here unless you like corolla/Camry. Although the V6 Camry sport is often overlooked. runs a 14.2 stock. But out of your price range.
Edit: and Honda Accord Sport 6M, pretty sharp, 0-60 in 6.6 with the 4-banger. $25k new. Civic SI also.

Good luck. Not sure what exact kind of car you want, but if you want a coupe, I'd go V6 Mustang....or Civic Si..... if you want a sporty sedan the Accord Sport is quite nice and will keep its value all day long.

2016. There's no way Ford gets everything right the first model year.

It won't be as drastically different as the 04 to 05 transition, and the driveline will carry over. I bet precious little is wrong with it, considering how little was wrong with the 05 mustang.

Personally, I'd wait to make sure the new rear suspension is worth a damn. The last time they tried an IRS it blew.

Fiesta ST... It's amazing! Definitely need to drive one, plus they put down pretty good numbers for such a small, light car.

Huh? I test drove one and I felt the car handled good, but not as good as people say...........I will give BRZ the cute factor, as thats what my wife thinks about them.

I would go back to a 370z way before I even considered a BRZ/FRS

True, but why does the Fiesta ST and Focus ST look like it was designed by the kid who used to own a civic with a street fighter body kit, that grew up and went to design school, got hired by Ford and still has a hard on for 1990's body kits?

Just sayin-

Interesting. I loved it and instantly wanted to replace my Z with one. I drove a BRZ though and hear they feel different than an frs.

Trust me. Ford can make irs. They've done it very well before.

FuTuRe is Z 04-15-2014 01:53 AM

Civic Si, Focus ST, FR-S and Mazdaspeed 3 would be my choices.

Some Toyota dealerships also sell Scion's FYI, see if your local dealer does the same.

If you go camaro SS? GO 1LE PLEASE! It's that good.
Cadillac ATS performance 2.0T is shockingly good.
Reviews on the BMW 2 series is very convincing but then, the no feedback gripe bugs me. But I guess that's our future with full electronic steering.

If you're going on a lower budget?

The underrated Hyundai gencoupe 2.0t r-spec
The overrated brz/frs
(not saying either car is better. But reviews basically show bias within these two.)
Mustang or camaro v6. I think you're better with the 2 above if not going v8. But not bad options.

If going fwd?

Focus ST
Mazdaspeed3

And if you're willing to look at civic and fiesta st???
Then I'm going to throwv in a sleeper of a good car. My friend purchased a 2014 Kia koup 1.6t. That car is pretty damn hot for what u get in that price range.
