American cars I've been lusting after for some reason...
So it's time for a "daily driver". Granted, I have a 95 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T, and a Benz 190E. But I want a car where I don't have to work on constantly and rides comfortable. I'd figure I can sell those two cars and have enough for a decent downpayment on something more "luxurious".
First one is the Pontiac GTO. Not the "goat" of yesteryear, but the 04-06 models. Everytime I see one on the road, I just think it's the best bang-for-buck cruise missile out there. Two doors, 4 seats, RWD and snarling LS1-LS2 vette engine in the front. What more can I ask for? While in 95degree traffic today with the top down, a black GTO rolls past with the windows rolled up, the universe sign for "**** you, I have air conditioning", I can just hear him laughing. A stripped to the bone, no a/c, turbo miata is nice and all but........I'm I getting too old?
Second is, and don't laugh too hard.

I specifically like the 02 LSE model. I love squared-off, heavy-looking front end with flushed in fog lights. I see a lot on the freeways and it's a beautiful car.
I can't think of any other affordable v8 cruisers that I can take to Vegas and back in comfort. Any ideas?
Does anbody have any experience with either cars? Thanks.

There's an LS 3 houses down from me. Never knew what one was but I do like the low key looks of it. I'm starting to consider powerful family cars now too but keep coming back to '00-01 Audi S4s or an AMG C32 in the low mid 20's price range. Or a Leg GT maybe. I want something with a nice interior where I can put in a nice system and not here the outside world while I'm cranking music with the AC on.
