Question It's late 2009 . . . which car do you buy?

I'm curious as to the responses. All coupes.

Damn. I meant this to be in the Lounge.

A low mileage well equipped C6 would be very tempting. Thus, I voted "Used C6" but I'm not 100% on that... I'm waiting to see/drive the Camaro first.

05 Vettes can be had in the low $30Ks. No Mustang to choose from?

I REALLY like the looks of the CTS Coupe, but I'm betting it will cost quite a bit more than the base Camaro. I'm thinking that I am seriously more interested in the SIDI V6 cars than the V8s for now. I never thought I would admit to that...

I think the G8 ST should be on the list since I would probably go for that over any of the others.

I wanted to stick with GM products. One being our beloved Camaro, one being the brand that is leading GM's new focus and one being something that's been done right for a long time.

Used C6, without a doubt. I like both the Camaro and the CTS Coupe (although I'd prefer the sedan or wagon); however, I almost always buy well-maintained used vehicles. I can hardly think of a better performance bargain than a used C6!

tough choices, I went with the C6 in the end.

Once HUD becomes available, I'll be purchasing a Camaro SS... assuming we hear nothing about a future Z/28 beforehand.

it would be a hard choice choosing between the CTS coupe and Camaro SS. I want to say the CTS, but I'd have to drive them both first. I defiantly would need a 4 seater.

Camaro SS, without question. I wouldn't mind the other two if they were given to me, but as a diehard Camaro guy, I'm spending my money on the Camaro.

It's pretty interesting to compare the results of the poll in this thread, versus that of the one in the Lounge.

Its hard to ignore the Vettes numbers. 400hp, 3200lbs, 6 speed manual or A6 paddle shift, 26mpg and loads of aftermarket products. You could always buy an extended warranty if you had to have one.
