Love my escalade, but looking to trade it in and get those new Range Rover Sports.. Classy!
I actually like the lil moon buggy looking thing, thinks a called Evoque or something close.

Even if you get a good deal don't forget to counter in future service. I have Audi A8L and now kicking myself in the ass to be honest. Parts are expensive. It is a nice ride though. In the winter time it's like a tank.
I've got a GTR that has been basically converted into a racecar. I very rarely drive it on the street. I mostly just trailer it to the track. I've been racing time trials for a few years now with NASA.
It is quite expensive to maintain. Every two/three races most fluids get flushed. The transmission alone is about $1200..
My daily driver is a POS though. I really want to get an E46 M3 for daily use, but I'm trying to remain responsible. I know if I get an M3, it will turn into another racecar. :devi:-smi

I have a 2014 Stingray and love the car. Its my second car not a daily driver so for me I wanted something with style but also sporty and classy. What attracted me to this was I had previous vettes and just love the lines of the new stingray. It looks similar to a more exotic car like Ferrari not a typical american car. To be honest what set this aside from the other exotics is you can have the same power and handling of some 300k plus vehicles for the fraction of the cost and like big A said the service is reasonable for what your getting. For me it was a win win. plus if you work your ass off you want to have something nice to show for it. For me it is not so much the brand name but overall value and drive-ability/maintenance of the vehicle while having something that is not seen on the road as much as lower end cars.
On a car like that, it's definitely required to do a lot of the work on your own, but the computer is so advanced and proprietary, I can't access the resets through obd2. Also the gear oil is outrageously expensive.
The Nistune computers are great for the R34 and prior models, but to reset the monitors and change key parameters, it can only touch the tip of yhe iceberg on the R35s. I owned a shop for a while, and when I looked into getting the equipment, I would have to jump through too many hoops and spend WAY more money than was available.
I've always loved those little MR2s. I drove a couple Exiges at the SCCA regional AutoX events. Those little cars are rippers! (Especially when they're wearing 305s.) So far, there aren't any standalone ECUs for the R35. The ECU is an integrated module, so a standalone would be quite difficult to develop without infringement on lots of patents.
Driving the GTR in comparison to my old Impreza RS (STi swapped) was surprisingly similar. It handles a bit like I would imagine a spaceship.. Even with the dummy modes in the 'off' position, the car is very easy to drive. Almost like it cares about the driver's safety.. Lol
It's hard to beat American Tupperware for value performance. The new rear diff is pretty nice. You miss out on quality of interior with it though.
I agree with you, I have a 911 4s that is just a beautiful interior but really I have more fun driving the z51 stingray I have. I must admit they did step their game up a bit with the new interior.
I uploaded some pics of the interior but still does not beat some german interiors tho
Haha well said. Turn-in on AWD isn't fantastic, but the oversteer and ease of correction offers quite a rewarding drive.
