Well, sometimes, life is full of choice. Sometimes it's fun to make fun of those choice, and that's the reason why this game exist! So, what car will you buy instead of Maserati Ghibli S Q4?
The rule is simple, it could be any car, but it's should be brand new and it needs to cost somewhere around the MSRP of Maserati Ghibli S Q4, which is $79,150. Plus, to make things more interesting, you can't buy a car which cost 5k less than the Ghibli, and you can't afford things that cost more than 80k USD. But the rest is up to you. You can option the Porsche Boxster to 80k if you want. And if you're lazy, you can settle with the Ghibli, but where's the fun in that?
Me? I'll settle with the CLS550. Optioned like this red baby, it's sneaks in at just about 75,745 USD. Plus it has the looks to match the Ghibli. Seriously, the new CLS looks better than ever.
Plus, the interior man. Yes i hate that iPad stuck in the dash thing, but the rest of it looks splendid. I love this car.
How about you people?

Honda NSX and set aside the rest for servicing/parts over the next 30 years.

I'll take an M3 with the carbon ceramic brakes, upgraded suspension, and colored wheels. It comes in at $79,175. That's as close as I could get to the magic number.

You can't. It's violating the rule. Except if the new NSX really comes out.
The rule is simple, it could be any car, but it's should be brand new

That was easy. Excuse the (+) dots.

RS5 was awesome. It really is. It's sounds great too.

Probably an Audi S6. Exactly $75,000.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 07:32 |
|
Fully optioned S4 is still about 17k USD less. Too cheap.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 07:34 |
|
Yup, I did a ninja edit for an S6, which is $75,500.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 07:37 |
|
Oh, that's great!
I saw a quite a lot of A6s lately. But not even an S6.

How about a fully-optioned, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Red Vapor. The configurator says it's $76,660.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 07:54 |

I like it.
But the only chrysler i would buy were the 300 and Charger Hellcat.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 07:56 |

2015 Camaro Z/28! 77K fully-optioned. And how are you going to justify a Maser over an LS7...? Short answer, not possible.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 07:58 |
|
You make a good point. I completely forgot to spec out a Hellcat.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 08:01 |

I wouldn't buy anything else : Maserati, V6 bi-turbo 3.0L, 410hp, AWD, massive Brembo brakes, ZF 8 speed gearbox.
*MSRP in France is 84 800€ : roughly 105 000 $ !!!!

That leather will justify itself ;)
But seriously, good choice. I know Mrs Aya love the sound of the LS motor but she need some fancy things like leather.

You can only spec out a Charger now..

Mrs Aya paid 170k for hers. We live in Indonesia btw.
And CLS has 9-speed ;)

Man, you're juuuuuuuust about make it.
Now where to find 1k USD..

CTS V-Sport Premium comes out to $70k and a bit. That's my choice plus some extra for winter tires.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 08:28 |
|
Ah, yes... As a single gearhead, I'll always choose the loud, fun car. BUT, if I had an SO to carry around (bye bye, weight reduction), I'd be buying a loaded 550i M Sport. Still wouldn't even touch a Maserati haha. Though, the MC12 is the bee's knees.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 08:28 |

I need no winter tires :D
It's really sad to say that Indonesia has no Cadillac on sale..

BRG Metallic is $1500, and partial leather seat package is $500, so how does $79k even sound?
![]() 12/16/2014 at 08:42 |

Ouch that's hurt.
ZF 8 speed is good not because it has 8 speed but because it's simply brilliant.

Well, i still can't decide if i like the styling of the F10.
I prefer the E60 to be honest. And the maserati, sometimes i wonder where they get the V6. Chrysler?
![]() 12/16/2014 at 08:59 |
|
Yeah. Import Tax is a bitch.
Well, 9 speed is there to live your FnF Dream.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 09:04 |

I definitely like the F10 over the E60... But then, I prefer the E39 to both. haha What are the specs on the V6?
![]() 12/16/2014 at 09:15 |

I'll take a BMW 6-series Coupe. The 7-Series everybody actually wants.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 09:33 |

Starting at $78,995!
![]() 12/16/2014 at 09:58 |

3.5l 60-degrees V6, 404hp.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 10:02 |

That's solid answer. 640i Gran Coupe: for one who wants a CLS with BMW badge.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 10:12 |

Perhaps they de-stroked and turbo'd a Pentastar?
Edit: Wikipedia says 3.0L V6... Sounds more like an Alfa-sourced engine.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 10:17 |

Oh yeah, forgot to write Twin Turbo.

This was my first thought.

I'll need to ship it 780 miles, and I want dealer all weather floor mats so that should help make up for the $5,636 price difference. I am a fan of Nibble's choice in Jaguar. I will see what else I can get from them for $79k.
![]() 12/16/2014 at 10:39 |

Fineee... 300 SRT8 Premium!! Cheaper, 4 doors, and still V8! (w/ lovely leather)

Without the obvious Insert2DoorSportsCar I would actually choose the Ghibli. Im a hipster and its not another German sedan.
But according to you thats lazy, soooo ….. I'm with nibbles, BRG V6 S.

It's okay, everybody loves the ghibli. And the F-Type.
