^ No, you missed my point. I DON'T like convertibles. Of course, if they made a stick FX35, I'd have to get one of those as our 4th (we've actually had 3, an '05 in addition to the '07 and '08).

^ I dont understand how some people can buy 3 of the same car over and over again. I respect it but it would bore me to tears. Sticking with the same brand I can understand though.

OT: i want your B7 jakejewler

on topic: i would personally get the cayman for the hard top. i dont really care for the soft top on the s2k its just that for around 11k used what other amazing car could i get (MY00 and up)?
ive looked at the 330ci but im not sure about the 4seats thing..it would be really nice to have a 2 seat car.

but if somone can name a car as great as the s2000 for around 11k that would be great.

I'd take the Cayman S, even though I think the BS is much better-looking.

I don't understand how some people buy Alpina B7s. I respect it but it would make me kick myself for spending so much on such an ugly car with goofy interior that will lose large sums of $$$ faster than the stock market.

Suffice it to say, we probably both had what we thought were good reasons for purchasing our respective cars. For us, we need an SUV for our dog (she's 135 lbs), and none, in my opinion, drove as well as the FX35 (without the sports package...the ride on my sports package car is unacceptable, I learned in time after purchase) for the $$$ at the time. Can't beat the Infiniti-subsidized $399/mo. lease on a $40K+ car. One of the best deals in all of autodom, IMHO. I love cars, but I don't especially like paying for them.

Chevy made the Cheyenne. On your quote, you left off the part about for the money. FX35s regularly lease for $399/mo. with minimal cap-cost reduction and 15,000 miles/year. I asked the manager at the Porsche store what V6 Cayennes lease for, and he said something around $700/mo. No thanks. I am too cheap.
