M3 would be a great choice maybe a EVO or STI for great bang for your buck

evo is out of the question cuz its really hard to get it here in canada because of its dumbass law about how the intercooler has a 3mph crash resistant issue...
i could get a c32 right now for 78g cdn, which also includes tax...but once again, its auto=no fun...
people have been naggin at me because the sti has been played out already and also how the 350z has crappy interior and would break easily...
the s4 also would break easily supposedly...also, i thought it was a 4.2L turbo engine!? whoa! i gotta do more research i guess...
M3 is a lil way off the price if we're talkin about a new one, cuz base price i think is at 82g CDN...
I think i'm leanin towards the Z though...i'm gonna head out now and test drive, see you all later...

god, modenas sound awful. like a damn fly buzzing around in your ear. leave the shitty torque machines to two wheels. unless its a roadster such as an elise, that by definition needs a small engine.

The previous generation Audi S4 had a 2.7L twin turbo V6 with 265bhp, the new car has a naturally aspirated V8 (no turbos) with 344bhp. I think I'd go for the RX8 and tune it (I'm getting one in a few months, black with black and red interior--unless plans change)

the STi does not have 4WD. :roll:
it has AWD.
fuck them anyway seriously the best bang for buck for under $50k is the Vette(but you hate them) then I would go pick up a last year Camaro or Mustang and pour the extra $20k into it and have a car that can rape the shit out of most STi's and 350's etc... but I guess you don't like American cars.

I'd go for a high specced STI, maybe from a tuning company, not sure what kind of models you get out there.... or an EVO. Maybe an M3 or S4 if you want a bit more style and luxury.

well on this side of the pond we get the STi as the top model that's it. And from what I understand the EVO isn't official in Canada becuse of Intercooler issues or something.(a country more anal than the US about safety laws and cars) I get the impression that he wants new so the M3 is out of the equation unless he trades in the truck.

there are several Ferraris you could get within your price range, but something that nobody has pointed out yet is insurance, which for a car like that (and ESPECIALY because of your age), will be ridiculously expensive.
I say go for an STI or a Certified Pre-owned M3...trust me, those CPO BMWs really are a good deal...they're practically used cars in new-car condition with new-car warranties.
