Help me buy a new car.
My beloved 2005 Mustang has reached the end of its life. 144K miles its time to move on. Going to start a new job with a commute across a long bridge over water. Going to miss it.


You help me decide. Point me in the right direction. Give me the great info that puts me in the right car.......I'll send $50 to the charity of your choice.

Criteria:
I want to spend between $30k - $40K.
Automatic
Got some style
Have to be able to fit in the car comfortably
Prefer a coupe


Right now I'm thinking new Challenger, Nissan 370Z, Mustang etc. Son is telling me to look at used Mercedes, Lexus etc.

What ideas do you have?

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 03/11/2015
It's a done deal. I've bought and ordered a 2015 Challenger SCAT Pack Shaker. 392 Hemi 6.4L, 486 HP, 475 toruque, 4.1 second 0-60 time. Has all the same luxury "stuff" as the BMW and Lexus's.

Last years "Shaker" models sold out in 4 days. I decided if I was going retro, go all in and went with the lime green 1971 Challenger remodel. Bumblebee stripe and the Shaker hood. I deleted the stripes on the roof and the hood. Will take 6-8 weeks for delivery. Dark wheels.

I gave $50 each to the charity of their choice to Bearcat and Miles. When Simply Red shows back up, I'll get his charity the money.

The Car arrived finally......

The problem is that many of the paddle shifter transmissions aren't true dual clutches.

Yeah, I got an electric cheater smoker too.

When I get my 1970 426 Hemi Cuda, I'll have a manual. Until then, I'll take the cheater transmission.

I think BRC would do well w/ a tuned 335i - **** Audi and their 2.0t

Due to confusing German branding it's a 435 now if new. I think 2013 was the last year of the 3 series coupe.

Depending how much you care about fuel economy (this suggestion is awful there) not sure you can find a better coupe than a 2011 M3 at the upper end of your range.

Mileage is not a big deal to me. Paying $40K for a 2011 car with 30K miles on it, does make me pause and reflect.

I'd just get about a 10 and tune it - it's an animal tuned. I loved mine w/ a passion - Honestly? I liked driving it better than the m5 - Miles is going to kill me. But -- what can I say?

They were 70-75k or so new. Completely biased on suggesting that to you but I really do think it's the best coupe out there for 40k.

Did you have a chance to drive the 2 series or M235?

They had no coupe's in stock. Two weeks maybe. They say they sell as soon as they get in. They keep the stock down to keep the price up. Don't know if thats true or not.

They had 4 doors but I just don't like the fit as well as the coupes.

For some reason I'd prefer stock and don't like mods at all.

Suspect the reason you may not love the M5 as much as your former 335 is its a heavy full sized car. Engine is a total masterpiece but still a full sized car.

I love the bright red on the retro muscle cars but black looks the best, to me anyway, on the Mercedes, Audi, BWM kind of cars.
