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......

Actually I thought that last body was the sweetest out of all of them - I like the taper from the quarter-panel to the grill. Very handsome feature - See there?... I play nice.

Oh they drive great. While they are driving right.

But bang for the buck, cost of ownership, and reliability they don't have~

They arent alone in that, they just have the deserved reputation of sucking.

Also they smell like crayons~

I think BRC could be happy in an older model - heck that style is still awesome looking - plus he could get the tune - easily - if not spending quite as much - don't get me wrong BC - I love the new 2's and 4's - I'm just saying IDK - 328's to be perfectly honest with you - seems like a chick's car almost. But you got the 235 right? - what is that the straight turbo? or is it twin? Either one is sick - because that new single turbo super charged are ****ing dope as hell - FANTASTIC engine.

I actually happen to love this new body style best out of all mustangs, with the new edge body style a close 2nd, and then foxx-body. But, people are a little wary about the new looks because of the nostalgia associated with old stangs, and of course the previous throwback body styles played on that.

It will grow on people, and as for performance, value, interior, options, etc etc,. all have been improved. It rocks.

I just haven't had that many issues at all - being honest - I had WAYYYYY more in the Audi's and heck even the S500. I would tell you if I did have major issues with the BMW's trust me.

The only thing I've noticed is the lamps seem to go out faster than most other cars - that's kind of a pain - but it's not crazy, out of hand bad, just a little less life than average - I've noticed.

Shit I'll go ahead and tell you - I like the new Ford Tauras' looks - Now I should be embarrassed admitting that - but it's a darned nice looking sedan.

The 235 is a twin turbo.

The failure rate isn't all that high, it's just that others are insanely reliable... of course, they don't run turbochargers with dual clutches, etc.

Someone was suggesting that model last night... I've heard it's a relatively rough drive compared to Audi and BMW, but obviously plenty powerful... didn't test drive one myself though.

yes exactly. I'm just trying to give you all a fair assessment of my experiences. Since I have some history on both - and even Mercedes - also Mercedes break more - just like Audi vs BMW (again in MY experiences)
