Don't buy the Z. Period.

It's a wonderful car. But this is not your moment. If you plan for it, you could be a lot more ready in 2011 or 2012... and would have a car newer than any of ours on the board right now.

You're not ready financially, you're not ready because you haven't memorized all the specs and option packages like we have, you're not ready because it's a bad fit in your family and your vocation, you're not ready because you'll be paying big consumer interest at a time the Fed is giving banks a 0% funding rate. You're not ready because you haven't worked on a new car purchase with enough dealers to improve your buying/bargaining technique.

There's another car coming out next month that will catch your eye. Maybe your wife will be more approachable on that. I wouldn't recommend an Altima, but I might recommend a Hyundai Genesis coupe (if you can't wait to trade).

No jokes on this reply. We had a string of about a hundred comments that weren't anything about the car, but lifestyle... that's plenty of Humor, of you call it that.
