-How many seats do you need?

-What kind of weather do you need to tackle?

-What cars do you find attractive and what cars DON't you? Name a few of each

-Do you want modability or are you just going to leave it stock or do bolt ons?

-How deep do you want to mod?

-Put in order these attributes, important to least important: Power, Handling, Fit and finish, Sexy look.

Ok start, I will check back in a minute.

Can I answer?


-Does it matter if it is new or used? If used is ok, how old is the oldest you will go with?

No, it does not matter but I would like something newer (’04 and above).

-Does MPG matter?

Yes, I’d like something that averages at least about 18 mpg but there is some wiggle room there.

-AWD/FWD or RWD, which do you want

RWD is preferred, but AWD could be considered.

-How many seats do you need?

Doesn’t matter.


-What kind of weather do you need to tackle?

Minnesota winters, but I have a truck also that I can drive when the weather is bad. It should be able to go through a little snow though if needed.

-What cars do you find attractive and what cars DON't you? Name a few of each

3 series, 5 series, AMG, s4/s5, C6 vettes, G35, etc… It needs to have some class.-

Do you want modability or are you just going to leave it stock or do bolt ons?

Would like to do some modding but nothing to extreme.

-How deep do you want to mod?

Wheels, suspension, software, bolt ons… That type of stuff. I don’t want to add FI to something NA.

-Put in order these attributes, important to least important: Power, Handling, Fit and finish, Sexy look.

1) Sexy look 2) Fit and finish 3) Power 4) Handling

Very easily... I don't track my car. The next car I will buy will not be a slouch in any of those categories it should be good in all, but some areas it should be better.

I think Audi is the way to go for you. Maybe Benz. Audi wins hands down in looks and fit/finish. Benz would finish second in those departments, but are generally powerful.

The new Nissan's seem to emphasize a fat ass. It's no so prominent on the 370z, but drive behind a Maxima and you can see this.

I'm not too crazy about the new headlight design direction that nissan is going with on all of its new cars. I don't like how it turns at the bottom of the headlight into the fender.

I also remember seeing drawings of this car around a year ago with those "fangs" in the front bumper and I always thought that they looked retarded.

I'm sure this car will be fun to drive though as I love taking my bro's 350z out for a spin every once and a while.
