Getting a new car! Opinions?

Labrada_Exoticz · 10-25-2011, 03:02 AM

What do you guys think,

New CTS-V coupe

Or

Used GTR

They are both pretty much in the same range so thinking of one of the 2.

Oh and its going to be my daily driver.

I say go with the V, friend of mine had the sedan and it was a monster. I have driven the nissan as well and even though it is a revolutionary sports/super car, it didnt get my blood pumpin like the cts did. But at the end of the day both are respectable sports cars. Good luck!

i'd go with the GTR out of those two.

GTR all the way.

I love the CTS-V sedan but the coupe is hideous.

Q4P · 10-25-2011, 10:11 AM

GTR

CTS-V coupe is a rather ugly beast...

+1, I think the styling looks terrible.

GTR FTW!!!

sanf · 10-25-2011, 10:47 AM

if you want to keep it down low.. go with the CTS-V. a GTR will scream for attention just about anywhere you go.

b0bab0i · 10-25-2011, 01:35 PM

CTS-V, it comes with a manual.

GT-R

I can't let mis-information keep propagating itself... seriously, what next, GTR windshield needs to be replace every 50k miles?

I actually love the way the CTS-V looks.

What are long term ownership costs/reliability like for the GTR? As long as it can hold up, it would probably make a better DD IMHO.

Labrada_Exoticz · 10-26-2011, 01:14 AM

Thanks for the replys guys, honestly I'm really leaning more towards the CTS-V. Seems more practical for every day use for about 2 years. Also looking at some E63's too, saw a couple lease deals that looked pretty good.

Swangin818 · 10-26-2011, 03:08 AM

You can get 08 E63 Amg for pretty good deals nowadays
