wow I really got "owned" being "wrong" in my post

again, if you were truly in a position to make a decision like this, you wouldn't need any help

beyond pathetic need for validation

Never meant to own you, just stating a fact that I am not married, I don't know much about cars and wanted to know whether or not it was worth it. Don't know why you are getting all negative

Clearly your wife must have left you for BBC

. As for being in a position, I am buying an Audi not a Ferrari or a Lambo lol, there are tons of these on the road as they are a popular luxury car. Clearly you must make minimum wage as this seems like a very daunting task to you and brought out all sorts of bitterness and negativity.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2012 Range Rover Evoque. I've always owned Jeep Grand Cherokees in the past, but this will be my first true high-end crossover SUV. Buying a new vehicle is always exciting.

Is the Evoque the little lady's version of the Range Rover? All the school run mums over here drive these.

How much money do you want to spend on owning the car? Even if you get the Audi Care maintenance plan (which I highly recommend you do if you go the Audi route) it doesn't cover things like brakes and tires (which you will need before you go out of warranty). The RS5 brakes are not cheap, they are considerably more expensive than the A5 and even the S5 brakes. You will pay a fraction of the price for the upkeep of Honda vs the Audi. BUT.....if you are truly a connosieur and can truly afford it, then you go with the RS5. Also not sure where you are from and what exactly you are looking for, in the US you cannot get the RS5 with a manual, the S5 you can though.

Audi = expensive Volkswagen.
Same car, pay for the badge.

The phrase you are looking for is: Audi = a Volkswagon in a tuxedo.

Stop being a homo and get the new Audi A6. Shits on BMWs, mersscheize and the extra fine rice luxury brands from Toyota and Honda.

I'm just gonna photobomb your thread with some 6.3 Liter V8 American Muscle, just for the hell of it!!!

If you are leasing (renting) the car it doesn't matter. Just about any car will run reliable for 2 or 3 years. If you are buying it and want to keep it for years go with the Honda. Put synthetic oil in it from day one like Mobil 1 and it will run forever with the usual maintenance. Many American cars can't handle pure synthetic oil because of the their sloppy ring tolerances. A Honda accord will hum with it in it.

Add on another 12k a year in gas too. (Depending on driving distance.)

Whats you guys' opinion of the new 2014 Chevrolet SS (6.2 Liter Enginer, V8, 415 hp, 0-60 in 5 seconds)?

I was on board until they announced that overblown $44,000+ price tag!

EH · « **Reply #40 on:** June 17, 2013, 08:05:58 PM »

well...

my $.02

$11k for an 03 S430 with less than 85k (plus $2500 for an aftermarket warranty)

... or...

$13k for an Audi A8L with less than 120k (plus $3000 for aftermarket warranty)

S430 is a solid car.. safe.. with brand recognition/prestige.

the Audi is fucking beautiful and drives like a Bentley... and has rear leg room like a Maybach, but doesn't have the prestige the benz does.

Either way... they're both half the price of the Honda, and much safer....

but I wouldn't touch'em without an aftermarket warranty, and make sure it doesn't include tie rods, control arms, lsd's, or the door closer mechanical shit (on the benz) in "wear items".

keep it for the duration of the warranty, or at least a good part of it and u won't have to worry much about depreciation, since they've already depreciated a grip.

You should take a look at the Ford Taurus SHO

2013 had the following specs, twin turboed V6 - 365 hp, and 350lb feet torque.

For about the same price you can get the Charger SRT8 or the Chrysler 300 SRT8 with 470hp.
And then there other cheaper options of a slightly different nature like the Taurus SHO (3.6 Turbo 365 hp AWD).

Hey guys, I am thinking of buying a new car and was hoping to get some advices from my fellow getbiggers; currently I am having a tough time deciding between a 2014 Accord Coupe V6 and a 2014 Audi Rs5. I mean it's tough choice and was hoping to get some advices

You must be trolling if you can't decide on a car & come to get big

Collectibility, investments, and drop-dead good looks.....agreed.

As for performance, modern Mopar blows the doors of all that old shit(and it had better....technology and all that). I mean, c'mon...the Charger/300/Challenger 392 SRTs with the supercharged 600+ Hellcat Hemi coming out next year.....some vastly improving pickups, and the SRT Viper which is a world-beater.
