Help us pick a car

My assumptions:
-the track portion won't be part of the business
-you will need it to haul business stuff around, like materials or clients
I'd say pontiac g8 (if you must get something with power), genesis sedan (loooong warranty which'll help you on the cash flow part, luxury car comfort without the price, I imagine cheaper insurance too), and ford flex come to mind. I'd opt for the most practical and economical car with the most curb appeal, so the ford flex definitely works. When the business takes off, buy track toys and dress them up with smaller signage.
Since your targetted audience won't be enthusiasts cuz enthusiasts tend to be the most educated consumers in the car realm, you're going for the average person, not the track going folk. This is just what I assume of course.

Hyundai Genesis sedan sounds good as well. BIG car, pretty flashy, looks good, and as he said - long warranty!

it's gotta be new as we will be using our own service to buy it. we are leaning more towards something like the flex...something with more room for signage. I'm going to have to live with wrapping my own car in the same signage and using it for track days still, i think! Oh well, the company will cover my payment so not all is lost.

let me add, that your site is awesome! im really liking the layout.
in fact. i searched for a car and everything, but you guys arent in Texas yet. so ill be hoping for an email once you’re here.
so the service doesnt work for used? just for new?
used as in CPO

thank for the kind words. we are only open for business in california and oregon. building a dealer network takes some time.
our service is a bit different. we aren't to concerned with research we want people that are ready to buy. that is what we need to convey.
we aren't doing used cars just yet. even CPO'd ones are not quite the commodities new ones are. we will be rolling in used cars as soon as we master this new car thing.

I know there were plenty early this summer, but I haven't seen any in inventory for a while.
