What car would you buy? Poll.
Just want to see what you guys think...
If you are 30-50 years old , have kids , paid off house. What car do you think you would buy . (You can do this poll even if your not 30-50, just think like one.)
Think - Calgary weather , you like cars , you have the extra money to spend.
If you vote - Please kinda explain your answer.
Thanks Beyond!

Think - Calgary weather, well in that case id pick the Range Rover. How ever because i would be spending extra money and I already have the winter car, my vote goes to the Ferrari

This is how i split it up.
dodge viper: American, dont wanna deal with the hassle even if it does have that kind of power
lotus: Small, looks uglier everytime i see one, guys who drive it drive it to show off, even though they are cheaper exotics.
range rover: Great car, it would be my second choice, but it may kill you on gas and s.u.v's arent as nice to look at as sportier cars.
ferrari: You'll probably only drive this in the summer, and it is used so it may need some TLC (but i doubt it). Expensive car, therefore probably expensive to maintain.
My choice went to the benz because it looks great, great dependability of mercedes. Sleek car and will attract a lot of attention. Still drivable in winter, classy, probably not as bad on gas as the others (excluding the lotus).

I put the Viper on the poll because I keep seeing them everywhere (We do have alot of american muscle people in calgary).
Reason I started this poll is because I want to start importing cars.. Viper is american made and so no duty would have to be paid at the boarder.

Gotta go with the SLK 55 AMG, mostly because it's the only one I've driven out of that list and absolutely loved it.
I like the viper too: there's something to be said for the sound out of that engine, not to mention the look of the hard-top one. Very batmobile-like.

2007 Dodge Viper - Nasty cheap interior enough said.
2007 Lotus Elise or Exige - Unique automobile but not enough go for me.
2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG - Mercedes sport cars don't do anything for me..
2007 Range Rover (Sport or HSE) - From my limited experience with Range Rover they are mobile shit heeps!
2000 Ferrari 360 Modena. -Do you know anyone who can honestly say the don't love Ferrari?

I had to go with the Exige, but with that kind of money I would have to go porsche if the option was given.

I voted for the Range Rover. Its the only one I could see realistically being driven in the winter. I personally wouldnt drive any of those cars in the winter. MAYBE the slk55.
How much does a 360 cost these days? If you are gonna spend that amount Id probably go for an RS4 or something

+3 for Porsche if possible.
If you can afford any of the above sports cars I am going to assume you have enough money to afford the Range Rover to drive in the winter.. Also gas shouldn't be a thought when you have this kind of coin.
Just my $0.02

Z06!
I choose the Ferrari because its the most exotic of the bunch, but honestly as a daily driver , probably the Mercedes

speaking of BMW would an M5/M6 fit the category as well?

^^^ Yup , but I would think the BMW Dealerships in Calgary can get those cars in pretty quickly. Ive seen about 3 in my neighbourhood over the past 2 days lol

I would get a Z06 or a Jag XKR/XJR over any of the cars on that list. Z06 is a great performance bargain, the XKR is a gorgeous beast, and the XJR could carry the whole family.
So, if having a family and needing a dual-purpose fun/carry car, the XJR for sure. If you're talking fun "weekend" car, XKR or Z06.
