Car shopping

Audi A5 Prestige 252HP/ 3459#= 7.3HP/100# $56,700
Audi TT 220HP/ 3186#= 6.9HP/100# $50,548
Challenger GT 305HP/4108#= 7.4HP/100# $36,700
 
After nearly 7 years and over 175k miles its time for a change to my daily driver. Currently a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland V6. It still looks great, runs great, I just want something a little more nimble and sportier, but still with the high end luxury. I still can't do a sedan because I routinely haul bulky stuff. I need 4WD.

My don't want list includes:
  • No Asian vehicles. I just think they are chic cars.
  • No FWD platforms. Too difficult to service.


My wants:
  • Luxury interior comparable or better than the Jeep.
  • Quiet highway ride.
  • Power/ weight ratio at least 7HP/100#
  • Decent gas mileage.


On my list:
  • Porsche Maccan S (too much money)
  • Mini Clubman JCW (price is right, p/w lower that I'd like)
  • MB GLC 43
  • Jag F-Pace S
  • Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (too much money, gas guzzler)



The BMW 850i is starting to get a serious look from me ... ;)

 
So do I ...

1970 Buick GNX (original numbers matching)
1999 Chevy Corvette Z51 Head/Camed

... should I order lunch while I wait for you.

I'm already here. I ordered lunch for us all, it should be ready by the time you get here :cool:
