a new 4.8L V8...what's not to love?



I'd say M3, but with it being phased out & not sure how well it would excel @ hauling duty...

I made this exact decision a couple months ago. I bought a new S2000.

If you are going to be taking a lot of road trips, get an LS430. I know it is not sporty, but it is more comfortable than anything under $100k and it gets insane gas mileage (have observed over 30mpg on several trips). If you feel like having fun, just turn off tc and go throw it into some powerslides... that's what I do

that the LS is more comfortable than anything else I've been in, including expensive Mercedes sedans. But I think a better blend of comfort and sportiness is in the GS430. It is still very comfortable, yet also sporty.
