E55Bullet

I was just thinking about the direction I might have after an E55. What is really the next step in the automobile world? I think I truly understand why older members do not want "kids" to have these cars yet because there is a hard replacement.

Just off the top of my head of future cars:

1.) CLS55
2.) Cts-V
3.) Gallardo
4.) P-Car
5.) Viper
6.) Vette
7.) CL65
Just throwing some examples out, what do you guys think?

03'55AMG

I'm thinking about an SL class. I would love a roadster

WayneE

CTS-V would be fun if you could get over the interior and GM service.

Do you have any other cars?

Do you need a do-it-all ride? More luxury? More performance?

Are you buying new? CPO?

E55Bullet

I don't know if you have ever sat in one, but they feel like your in a fighter jet, fits like a glove.

guysandiego

excellent question -- I cant see myself getting rid of this car -- even after my warranty expires in 3 years.

I can start thinking about a 2nd car - probably something compact/cheap and great mpg.

E55Bullet

I have three other cars (trucks)... I use my E as a summer / weekend car. Luxury, is great but.. not a complete must.

tgoss

I'll be adding a GTR next spring.

I will always keep the 55

Worth the wait

Do you have a price range?

randallaguirre

One thing I've kept an eye open for years... A good deal on a 95
Toyota Supra TT 6spd. They keep going up and up and up in price.

If you've ever driven one of these you'll know what I'm talking about.

WayneE

Do you have a good Porsche dealer near you? The 997TT w/PDK would be a killer ride.

E55Bullet

I like how you think...

emoving

Vipers are hillbilly.....p cars are great but once you've had the 55 torque you can't compare.....Lambos for sure if you have some serious coin for maintain. And I mean serious......sooooooooo CLS like we talked

E55Bullet

No price range really, I mean within reason

emoving

Oh and the cady and vette are super cheap inside.

E55Bullet

I know what you mean! But I already have the other cars

Jakpro1

TT Gallardo will be my next vehicle......provided we don't collapse again in the ole US. Few years away still.

Im sure they are. I have not been in a new Caddy yet.

E55Bullet

About an hour away, IDK if they are any good though.. I have never driven a newer Porsche except the SUV turbo

WayneE

Go drive a CTS-V. You'll like it. I think the new coupe looks great, too.

The LSA in that car is a blank slate waiting for modding.

E55Bullet

IF WE DONT? lol thats why I want to spend it now! You can get a gallardo cheap!

E55Bullet

I know I know. I think that would be the only reason I'd get only. Esp bc you can make them run 10's, CHEAP


I was also thinking about a TT Srt-8 of some sort

randallaguirre

My 07 C6 was awesome, never rattled, nothing came loose, had a great 35K miles with her. The Caddy on the hand.......... P O S. I couldnt keep up with stuff that broke, came loose, popped off, didnt work, or just plain RATTLED.

E55Bullet

That sucks, beautiful car that is JUNK

Nstar

Unless a track day car, I've always found two seaters very restricting even though I don't have kids and won't own another unless it doubles as my track car. Some people love a sporty look for the street, but I prefer sedans on steroids.

Logical move from the E55 - the 2012 E63 with the new 5.5TT with optional performance package.

E55Bullet

I agree, but i also think you can buy/make more car for that kind of money
