Big Rizza Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hey all, If for your next vehicle you couldn't get a Japanese vehicle, what car would you buy? Would anyone prefer the bus to a non-jap car? Personally, if I were to get a non-jap instead of my current skyline ($10k budget) I would be looking at another 1980's 6 cylinder rear wheel drive vehicle. Something like an E30 BMW 325is or an Alfa Romeo 75 Potenziata. I don't think either would be as good as the skyline though. And the Alfa Romeo would rust. But my Mum has an Alfa Romeo and I have a soft spot for them! Will definitely own one at some point in my life. Will be interesting to see the responses, particularly those with a bit more cash than me!

sewid Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Jap then Euro. I would have maybe settled for the Audi S4 in twin turbo 2.7l trim but a mate already has one so can't do that. That or an E46 M3 i guess. Other than the GTR and NSX there aren't many Jap cars i'd really lust after. I know there are plenty of amazing Japanese cars, RX7, Supra, etc, they just dont do it for me. I would probably never buy a holden or a ford, unless they bring out the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky here which could be a nice cheap and cheerful roadster - and possibly better than the current Miata (not the previous Miata though).

Cubes Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) I came across this www site. http://www.sydneycartraders.com.au/cars.html If I was in the market for a 'new car', had no family and lived a bachelors life and I was a tight arse I think you can't argue that the SV8 Commodore is pretty damn good value, especially with its LS2. From a performance perspective I've had a bad run with commodores in the past. Broke on me when they are pushed a little.

Sathanas Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Cubes, SV8's still use the LS1. LS2's are HSV only atm. Maybe a change in the VE. In fact with this new emission laws coming in, I think they may have to use the LS2. Its a bit unfortunate because the LS2 is far superior. If i had a Skyline and i had to get something else...... I'd get (with unlimited budget) an RS6, or if i had 15k id get a VS Calais with a Super6.
