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......

Like me some more boring colors like black and shades of silver/grey. That dar powder blue M color is a little loud for me but looks nice.

Black metallic is by far my favorite but I like to keep the paint looking good so its rough when every imperfection shows. Current has the metallic black that looks dark blue in certain light that I love even more. Though even touching it wrong with a towel puts in microscratches that I can see but I have gotten better of ignoring it.

Have heard that transmission is a little temperamental to say the least. Forgot you likely have the model that depending on the settings will give you 400hp or 500hp. Hope you have those confusing German settings down now.

Nice. Less power shouldn't even be a setting. You are going to get ****ing awful MPG either way so no idea why BMW added that.

Fairly different cars but could see the M4 maybe getting within the ballpark of acceleration of the early V8 model R8 but. Would assume the early model mid engine R8 wouldn't be comparable in handling to the M4. Guilty of checking used R8 prices before and haven't depreciated as much as I would have thought.

I get like 12-14 mpg with 2 less cylinders but have a short commute. Really don't care about the mpg at all but it's mildly annoying with a 15 gallon tank.

If you don't care about having people in your back seat and considering something like an M4 you should really think of Porsche. They really are impressive to drive.

I don't remember if I told you - but my buddy took me for a ride in his R8 SMG - it was pretty nice - but lot's over over-steering. Still hugs though.

Awesome. Have always wondered what they were like on a real road since they look great and tick all the supercar boxes.

He's sort of nerdy though and won't go nuts - like Clark will in that R8 - when driving it.
