Best vehicles under 50k.

The absolute best car under $50k? C6 hands down.

Your question is too open ended, but I'll go ahead and assume you want a daily driver. If I had $50k to spend on a DD, I'd look at the Lexus GS.

It's not too open ended unless you're indecisive. It's your option for 1 vehicle under 50k. Any vehicle. What would you pick?

Hey saden...UNDER 50k.

ps- the homer was like 86k.

Well, I got the impression that you were asking for opinions about what we would recommend.

If thats not the case, and this is just a dream session, then I guess I'd have to go w/ a used C5 that's been TT'd by Lingenfelter.

BTW, the GT500 is less than $50k

I thought it was over 50k, but the MSRP is $45755. My bad.

I was referring to a new vehicle, but it's your option.
Those lingenfelters are amazing. I had a chance to drive one a couple years ago. The car can go 0-60 in 3.9 seconds SKIPPING 2nd gear. Amazing.

Yes, I made a comment to that in a previous post...this one:

I really thought it was 60+, but I was mistaken.

Well, in all honesty, this could help their sales.
A lot of people stay away from the Mustang because it has no bells and whistles like other vehicles of similar money. It has an engine and a radio...outside of that, what amenities does it offer?
If Mustang / Ford was smart, they would not do a wagon, or 4 door, they should throw GPS systems, and luxury amenities into the car and the sales would increase.

Or perhaps something with a bit more class:

Winner winner. THe BMW 3 series is a ridonkulous car. Feels like a fricking formula one car. Not that I know what that feels like but it feels like what I THINK a formula one car would feel like.

Yes, it has good pickup, a tight suspension, and with all the goodies you can get like GPS, heated seats etc, it is quite a great car.
I have tried to talk my wife into trading her car in for one, but it's so expensive.

I am liking my Lincoln Mark LT pickup and that was under $50k.
