Well, okay.

I'm glad it's not illegal here. 

 Going to need to get some hubcaps.  Mercedes finally died?  What died?

I give that post a 9.9. 

Dunno what died. It just decided to stop running while driving down Anaheim. I'm tired of the car. It's cost me about $400 in missing work over the past three weeks, much less the $150 I just spent on a tuneup.

I agree with brawl4life, Lamborghini = WIN.....Gallardo SE is the best though, too bad there's only 250 of 'em.....:(

Not a car, but this is what I want.

I give this thread a 9.6.

I drove the Charger today... What a turd. Completely unimpressed. I was a lot more impressed with this, which is what I ended up buying:

 What the hell is it? It looks like an aveage European car but I have never seen it before, the image says pontiac, which I have heard of but I always thought they were cheap like Lada or old Skodas

GM has spent the last few years turning Pontiac back into their performance line, which it always was back in the day. It was only the 80s and 90s where they shit all over the Pontiac brand with cars like the Grand Am. It's a Pontiac G6 GT... FWD, 3.5L V6, yadda yadda yadda... It has ~220 horsepower. Not bad. Handles pretty well, too.

Somewhat economical (much better than the Charger), smaller, more nimble, and more comfortable. Doesn't ride on the freeway quite as nice but I suspect that has a lot to do with the Charger's massive weight.

The Mercedes just wasn't a viable option. Too many miles (45k), too old (2004), and pretty stripped down. Not many features that impressed me for the price.

@rocketpig: not bad man, i guess you really did need a car bad cus i didnt think you'd get one that fast. usually people go to different car dealers before choosing but i guess if you found what you like than get it. its a good car though

I was fully expecting to go to more than one dealer but the Pontiac really impressed me. It's way quicker than the non-V8 Charger (which is a gas hog in V-8 form), it's a lot more nimble, and it feels a lot sportier. The only real fault I have with the car is that it's FWD. I liked the size, interior, seating, pretty much everything much more than the Charger.

Given the rarity of RWD cars nowadays, that seriously limited my options and from what research I did on some of them, they left a lot to be desired when it came to options and power.

I briefly considered a WRX but given the huge "tool factor" when it comes to driving those little Subarus, I decided against it. I also prefer the clean-but-sporty look of the G6 over the cobbled plasticky nature of the WRX. I was also restricted to sedans (wife has a puny-ass Civic coupe) so that restricted me even more. I wanted something smaller but with enough room to fit a 6'4" frame.

It also helped that I got the car for about $2500 under book since it was at a Dodge dealership. The six year, 60k warranty is a plus, too.

PS. Mine is black with chrome rims and fog lights. That dark grey picture doesn't do it justice.
