Oppo, you have $130,000 to spend on a two car garage. The catch is- they must both be the same manufacturer. Here’s my picks.

For my daily, I’d pick the $70 grand or so Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Because they don’t put any “Quadrifoglio” badges on it, you can call it a Cloverleaf to not look like a douche or an idiot to your friends.

For the weekend, I’d take a $53,000 4C, and use the rest for options or for expensive dinners or something.

What would you pick, Oppo?

Bonus points for fastest overall picks. My 500 horse sedan and low-weight sports car are gonna be hard to beat here, but I have faith

Dodge:

A Grand Caravan Blacktop for the “haul shit, seat many” duties in some fly under the radar colour, $30,000.

Then a Hellcat challenger in some obnoxious colour with the remaining money.

Comptech NSX and a stock Integra Type R would probably get close to that.

Ariel Atom 3.5: ~$50,000 used

Ram Limited at $56,585

And

A Hellcat at $73,765.

2014 Maserati Quattroporte GTS , $74,900

523hp, top speed 190 mph.

2009 Maserati GranTurismo S Coupe , $55,800.

433hp, top speed 183 mph (I think...).

I’ll have to try and haggle $350 off of the list prices in order to fall into budget though :(

Mustang GT with the performance pack and a manual: $52,148

XE and F-PACE (hate the name) since we can’t get an XFR wagon/estate here in the US.

Alternately, 2017 Raptor SuperCrew and GT350.

Svend > Hot Takes Salesman 05/20/2016 at 00:14

I’d have a

red Skoda Rapid Spaceback Monte Carlo

red Skoda Superb Sportline hatchback.

I think I’d still have $50-60,000 change to maybe buy a Citigo and a 3 door Fabia. :)

Since I feel like the best answers for

these things should never make a lot of sense, and I like adding extra conditions to my picks...

I’ll add in “dead auto maker”, “same color”, “Rear Wheel Drive”, and “convertible”!

I’d probably pick the same two cars as you, but I’ve thought up another.

Corvette Grand Sport and Chevy SS. V8 power all the time!

Summer Daily/Toy: C7 Grand Sport

Utility/Winter: The most crew cab Silverado I can buy with the remainder.

Alternative:

GT350 + Raptor

Alternative:

CTS-V+Escalade

Alternative:

Just one Model S P90D

A premium, performance pack GT is still a $40k+ car US dollars.

CB > Jayhawk Jake 05/20/2016 at 09:13

I dunno, I think for just regular driving, just a GT would be fine.

Alex Zapata > Hot Takes Salesman 05/20/2016 at 09:45

Well, I mean I could, but I would just answer the same thing, those two are two of my all-time favourite cars.

Otherwise I GUESS i could pick one of these... ($74k)

With one of these... ($54k)

Eh. “Fine” sure, but the base interior is pretty meh. The cloth seats aren’t great and the base radio is shockingly mediocre for such an expensive car. Premium pack is nice.

Aside from your Alfa choices, my next choice would be GT-R / Nismo 370Z.

Z - $48K
GT-R - Prices on these are still all over the place, but I could probably get a ‘15 for the remaining $82K. Possibly a ‘16 if someone was really desperate to clear it out.

—OR—

2014 Audi RS5 $62,000
2016 Audi SQ5 $65,000

That’s the premium pack model. I guess I should have mentioned that.

Because of all the combos here, that one’s probably the most lopsided in terms of price difference lol

Well I had to get something from the same company and after spending so much on the Vette, that’s all that was in range. Plus, the wife and kids can drive that and I’ll DD the Vette.
