I don't want the thread to die...
Here's what most people do, at least semi-consciously:
My price range is: x
Things that are important to me
Must have features> Power doors, auto, remote locks, whatever
Exterior looks
1-----------10 looks are very important so they get more points
Interior design
1---------7 important, but not as important as looks
Fit and finish
1------------10 very important
Performance
1------------10
Features
>>electronics (blue tooth radio, etc)
1---3 I may be planning on putting in my own stereo, whatever.
===============
This isn't my list per se, but an example. You find the cars you're interested in, then you find a car that has your necessary features, then you add up the points and compare it against incentives, financing, etc. MOST people do something like that-even if it's not this formal and written out.
Some of the people on this board are born and bred Camaro lovers who aren't looking at this car through the lens of a regular car buyer. Most people will say 'oh, that's pretty sharp-I'll have to put that on the list when it's time to buy'. You see, it's on a list- not a list of 1, but a list of several cars that the person wants to look at. The list in the mid 30's where a contented SS falls is going to have a lot of very nice cars and it's all based on how your personal rankings of important features fall on the continuum.
