Default Brand new car

What do you guys think would fit the bill as far as brand new cars that have already been released or will most likely be released for 2007? A reliable car that can be driven aggressively without worry of it crapping out, nice build materials, fairly practical, good power (14 sec 1/4 or less), AWD or RWD preffered however FWD for the right car could be a possability, a car that won't get smacked down by depreciation, handles well and is attractive. Oh yeah, can't be more than $30,000 new, a stripped model for less would be possible as well. I just really like the idea of having something no one has driven before me, it isn't really YOUR car if someone could have possibly hammered on it before hand, even though that isn't the case with all used cars it just can be nice to have shiny new/warrantee and a car all your own. What do you think?

I'd love to have a new Acura sports car or a Honda sports car coupe, whatever replaced the s2000 by then if it were $30k or less. too bad Acura's sports car besides the NSX is gone after 07. I saw the s2000 coupe picture on the home page and damn if they made something like that, I'd be ALLLLL over it.

First of all, the NSX is out of your reach. The MSRP was close to $90k. That picture on the front page is a concept. What's keeping you back from getting an S2000? It's a great car for the money and fits all your criteria.

I know that pic is not real but DAMN that is SO HOT. SO HOT! The s2000 is not in my criteria because it is just a TAD bit small, also the style dates back to 2000. I would like something new looking.

Acura is offering 2.9% APR financing. Ends on 5/1/06.

Come pick up a TL from me - I'll give you a good price.

I love the TL, too bad it's front wheel drive. I drove a 6 speed and can you say torque steer? I would never buy a TL because it should have been a RWD or AWD car, too bad it's sexy too.
