New Cars and Trucks Thread

[Plutonic Panda]

so... i'm about ready to part with my beloved tahoe. i priced a 2015 ltz and found i could get a really nice car for around that amount of money. plus, i rarely haul around people and stuff anymore, so i don't really need an suv anyway. i'm looking for a sedan that has some power under the hood and definitely something that isn't going to be in the shop all the time.

so, okctalk... what should i look at? what should i avoid? -M

I'd recommend a Chevy SS(commodore) if it were me...

looks nice... but if i'm going to get a chevy that drinks gas, i might as well just get another tahoe.

Caddy CTS-V no question

i need to check out a cts... the 'v' model is a little north of what i want to spend and i think i want something with 4 doors. but i've read some good things about the new cts that makes me think it's worth checking out. -M

[Martin]

i think i have it narrowed down... 535i or gs350. any reliability issues with either of these? -M

have you seen the new M4? Now out of personal preference, I like Mercedes better if you're choosing between BMW and Benz...

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

He wants 4 doors. So M3. Badass...But CTS-V's are in the same ballpark and WAY faster. And cooler. And you can get one IN A WAGON!.

/will probably own one of those in the next 5 years. In Opulent Blue


I'd look long and hard at the SS if I were looking for a 4 door that hauls balls. They get decent mileage too.

[Plutonic Panda]

I love the SS! Now, if funds are no issue, I'd recommend having a gander at C63. The only downside is it isn't offered in diesel here yet. :/

The C63 might be my favorite sedan on the market right now.

Looks like 2017 will bring in the Tesla Model III. If they sell it for 35k like they plan this could be a pretty big deal.

well... i ended up finding a great deal on a used 2013 gs 350. i saved around $17k from what i would've paid for a new 2014 with roughly the same features... and i ended up with exactly the paint and interior i was looking for.



love the car so far. only problem is with the trade... so... in oklahoma, the lienholder has the responsibility of filing the lien release with the dmv, right? 'cause i paid my last car off sometime in 2009 and the credit union is still listed as a lienholder. it's no fun cleaning this up but would like to make sure that it's not my fault before turning up the heat. -M

Beauty! I've always liked those cars. I've owned three Lexuses myself.

Congratulations and enjoy.

Holy hell, I was going to say THIS!

Since I'm single though, I'd go for the coupe, all black with black crome rims...preferably red underneath.

If the field brings success, I will purchase one of these to drive around in the city on my days off.

Who will be the first on this forum to get one of these when they are offered in the USA?

I'm glad it's not a Ford or a Chevy. Just what we need, "cowboys" around here to put a super lift kit and smokestacks on that design.

2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Some key notes

MOST
POWERFUL
MUSCLE CAR EVER.
707 HORSEPOWER

THE
FASTEST
MUSCLE CAR EVER.
10.8 SECOND 1/4 MILE

The SRT® Hellcat is out of the proverbial bag. 707 horsepower. Has a nice ring to it. And it has a bite that you won’t believe. Power. Period. End of discussion. A red key unlocks the full potential of this American dream. Once you hear the power, there’s no turning back. Unleash the beast. Download the ringtone.

The driver's side parking lamp was deleted to enable an Air Catcher cold-air intake, helping the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® deliver 'class-by-itself' horsepower



Here are a couple examples of the master control unit interface

Fact: If I obtain this car soon, I will probably be tracked down and arrested.

Saw the Challenger Hellcat on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage.

That thing is a beast and that control interface is unbelievable. At around $59k, it's the best deal in town for that amount of horsepower. They just recently announced that the Hellcat package will be available in the '15 Charger as well.
(*EDIT: Sorry PluPan, I didn't notice your last link mentioning it before I posted this)

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

That display/control interface is already in their vehicles. I know for a fact it's in the trucks (optional, of cour$$$e).

As much as I generally am not a MOPAR fan, these two cars are just spitfire bat**** insane. And I love them for that lol.

[Plutonic Panda]

I wasn't aware. Is there the feature where you can your RPM's to each gear?

If you had to live in your vehicle this wouldn't be too bad: KIRAVAN | HI-RES IMAGE GALLERY - KIRAVAN

[Plutonic Panda]

I saw that today and was going to post it. Freaking insane!!!

[Mel]

It would take me about 2 months to learn all the controls and train my wife to be my co-pilot. Might be nice to take to burning man for a few days.

Plu, you need that car about as much as I need an all the ice cream you can eat for life pass at Braum's.

I fear it just would not end well for either of us.
