If I'm going to spend this much money, I want something that is exactly what I want. I'm not going to settle for something that doesn't interest me.
I said not Korean, Japanese is fine.
Everyone suggesting the G8, these run 20k+, well over my budget.
I would say if your looking for a coupe accord or genisis but no asian cars so maybe the new bmw coupe 128i or something. sporty and fun. a m3 maybe. us car makers stoped makeing coupes for some reason its only challenger, mustang, camaro, cts, and vette. if your big you will fit in none but the challenger.

I've driven plenty of caddillacs and the only ones that meet my fun to drive requirement are the CTS-4 or CTS-V and XLR, all 3 are $25-30k
This is the only automotive forum I belong to, thought you guys would have some insight. I've owned 2 Montes, I do not want another.

Quick thoughts: v-6 Malibu (250ish hp), Infiniti G35, v-6 Nissan Maxima, Impala SS, Bonneville GXP, not sure if they were made in 06... know they were made in 05

May I suggest a Mazdaspeed6 or a Speed3. Very quick cars. The speed6 is AWD, turbo, 6 speed and a very nice ride. Plus you can haul people around as its a 4 door. The speed 3 has the same motor but is FWD and has a 6 speed as well. Can be had in your price range and are usually taken care of by their owners. Oh yeah and mazdas handle superb!
Hes probably tired of owning monte carlos. Not everyone wants to keep owning the same vehicle over and over, especially if they dont make new ones.

You are correct. I am just ready for something different. So far the GTO and Bonneville GXP sound the best. My dad is a 30 year GM veteran, so it's hard to buy anything non-GM.
