What would you get? Keep it 2013/2014/2015 model years since those are what's on new lots right now. No other stipulations.

I'd get a Volvo V60 Polestar in the Polestar Blue. Performance, luxury, utility, and great looks. It's all I could want in a new car. I think I'd only need to option in roof racks.

Kinja'd!!!

Guys and gals, I have changed my mind due to new information. CTS-V Wagon in blue or dark purple. Thanks for enlightening me Arch Duke Maxyenko!

Kinja'd!!!

The Polestar would be a very close second.

2014 Audi S4 manual. I'll try to keep it as a practical car, otherwise I'd say R8.

Go big or Go Home

Truth be told, this answer will probably change when the new Z is released in 2015, as it sounds right up my alley from the rumors, and might be the only car I'd consider buying new depending on the final numbers and looks.

Tough three way between this, an F Type R Coupe, and a 911 Targa 4S.

Id add pics but I'm on mobile and it doesn't work well.

Probably a Sierra 1500 Denali.

Black over black with every option.

Luxury, utility, and with the 6.2L V8, shocking performance.

It would either be the Volvo, or a 2015 Mustang V8 with the performance pack and guard paint.

THIS! Definitely the V60 Polestar in Rebel Blue (that's what it is called on the C30 Polestar so I assume the name carries over). If I couldn't get the V60, a S60 would have to do especially since they are more rare. Other than those, a Porsche Macan, but I'd rather get one once they depreciate like crazy.

If the new WRX came in a wagon like the Levorg in Japan that would have been my choice, no matter how much I love the V60 Polestar. Come on Subaru! Raptors and Audis are always worth getting. The P1 is amazing but I think I'd rather have 918. What's the orange roof car?

It would be a close race between these two:

Because economy and some torque, plus the interior is great and comfortable.

Or, in green:

Because all of the torque.

Only convertible I'd ever buy is the Z06, the C7s are my favorite Corvettes after the original Stingrays. I like the GTR but wouldn't want to own one. Great choices, anything more practical you'd want?

There are only two new cars that I would consider buying, even if I had a mountain of free cash. F-Type and 4C. Everything else I buy would be classics and retro.

Actually, I might add the new baby Maserati and any cool new Alfas they bring out, maybe an XE S if they give it a manual.

Blessed by the opportunity to get educated and work hard. My wife has done the same and gets it just enough to understand if she wanted a safe, practical car and I wanted a fast, manual trans car it was the best choice within our budget. Work hard, set goals, save responsibly, and don't be afraid to live once you can pull the trigger on a dream. I've wanted an Evo or STi for 15 years.
