Hmm..Truck wise, The new Ford Raptor is nice. I was at the dealer getting my service done, and I went around back..(where they keep the good stuff) My dealer is one of the few Ford dealers that get the special models, and upgrade packages..IE KR's ect ect..

Anywho I got a chance to check out the Raptor up close and personal. Very nice truck. Interior had the GPS Sync system, very nice, like a upgraded F150 Interior. I guess stangs were not the only ones that received a interior upgrade. It surprised me it was that nice for a performance truck.

It has the high rise shocks and what nots, and the "lol man step" in the back. Big tires, I guess all of the Off road stuff built in. The bed is a nice size..could easily haul bikes around. The biggest surprise....It was listed at 41k. Yep 41k. I thought it would be a lot more, considering how my dealership loves to mark up new stuff.

Its a worthy choice. I tell you, I am not into trucks, but I could drive a raptor.

2011 Hyundai Sonata ( Newly designed, exterior compared to lexus, rear end compared to BMW and interior compared to Infiniti)
2010 Nissan Titan PRO-4X (could use for transporting bikes...to track and on trips)
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee ...
2010 Infiniti G37 Sport sedan

those are just a few I am looking at. I don't plan on any major modifications to any of these. So if you have ever dealt with these, let me know your thoughts and opinions on these choices. Feel free to add any other cars.
Hopefully I can offer some insight from a mechanical point of view.
2010 Genesis....Sorry can't really help here only a few of them around my area and most seem to always be at the dealership for something.
2011 Sonata.... Its a Hyundai its cheap for a reason be ready for expensive parts that are hard to find outside of the dealership and get ready quick, breakage will start around 30K
2010 Nissan Titan.... Decent truck pain in the butt to work on and again fairly expensive parts. It WILL act up wet but the problems will go away when it dries out. It WILL creek, pop, and rattle as soon as you drive it off the lot. If you really want to haul with it buy a Diesel (personal favorite being the duramax). If you go Diesel for the love of anything stay away from Ford, just open the hood you will understand.
2011 Grand Cherokee.... Only buy this if you get the SRT8 then you will atleast have a fast POS. Just my opinion but I have never liked the Cherokee line. But as far as mechanical they are pretty good although I have no experience with the SRT8s in anything besides the cars.
2011 Infinite G37..... Sorry no real experience here either spent some time with a friends 07 G37 but nothing more than driving it around. Fun car to drive but it is a 4 door and you will feel it everytime you push the car, but still fun.

Hope this helps good luck searching. And please ask to speak to somebody in the service department about average cost of repairs before buying. I have seen lots of people buy a car and then get bit real bad on repair costs.

Good point...Cars that don't sell at a high volume get very expensive to fix. I'm glad GM uses interchangeable parts in most vehicles new/old.

I have a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe (2.0T). It's the girlfriends and she really likes it. I've driven it a few times and it's nice, though I don't have the Camaro to compare it to.

Jeep GC - saw one on the road. Looks quite nice.
G37 - Great car but a CTS is a quality alternative so that you can be a proud American

Just my thoughts.

true true it just reminded me of it

And idk what's with people but i've never understood what was so great about japanise trucks? Everybody always brags about 0-60 on the tundra... WHO CARES!!! if you bought a truck for the 0-60 you're a dumbass you could've gotten a car faster for cheaper. I've always been bias to Silverado because my dad owns a steel construction company and when you can take a base model V-6 manual silverado 400,000 mi. with huge stick welder and 3 toolboxs that's what makes a truck to me... getting the job done. And if i get any crap about well i know a guy that has a toyota terdcell with 300,000mi. i don't f'n care anymore cause it's real hard to make 93 hp. last long /rant lol sorry you should hear half the bullshit in my town belive.
